That's fabulous. It's great that there are people out there "crazy " enough to tape stuff like that so that the rest of us "crazies" can enjoy it. I loved it.

Here's some more You Tube stuff, about Montreal,............several vids available here too,.........the music playing seems Japanese (I think),...but there's a lot of good shots from all opver Montreal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y2Z1xl5kaM   I'll bet we'll find a whol;e bunch more neat stuff,...........depends on what we look for,......................making a film would be dead easy too.

The bus will not be able to go down Duhamel street. For some incredibly stupid reason the city of Verdun has closed off this wide boulevard which was a thoroughfare from Atwater , through the tunnel and onto the Champlain Bridge. One block is completely closed and frustrated people are driving over lawns to get in and out. God save us from idiots and bureaucrats. The backlash of road rage it creates has already started.

OMG.....y'all should take a peek at these videos Les_F posted.    Maybe we should all look at our city through the eyes of a visitor to Montreal.  I'm sure that I have taken some of these sights for granted....visitors seem to have a totally refreshing outlook.  I noticed in the one with the maple leaf flag, and the person singing "O Canada" that they mumbled through some of the words, and they snuck in a shot of the statue of liberty, draped in the stars and stripes at 9/11....funny, none-the-less.   I bet that visitors see a side of the city that we don't look twice at....and that's a shame because Montreal has soooooo much to offer.   Thanks for the sites.   Cheers.
