    An interesting architectural concept with so much more potential to explore in my opinion. In my opinion it could be further improved by becoming greener/more botanical and with a more beautiful decorated less minimalist facade.

    I don't particularly agree with people saying Montreal is so like Europe. In my view Montreal is better, cleaner, more contrasting than most European Cities. Montreal, Quebec, and Canada are beyond Europe, they are Canada which is a truly great achievement in North America and the world. We don't need the contrast, come see that Montreal is better.

    Climbing Peel Street then the staircase to the Belvedere is challenging especially on a hot and humid day. A more pleasant way to reach the Belvedere is to take bus 165 at the Guy Metro Station and get off at the intersection of Côte-des-neiges and the Boulevard. There is a relatively short staircase to climb. From there it is an easy and enjoyable hike to Lac aux castors (Beaver Lake) and the Belvedere.

    I was expecting to get emotional watching this, but i'm severely overwhelmed at how deep my feelings go & the intensity of my tears. In '67, my family was living in the suburbs 46K north of the city. The year our country moved into triple digits, turning 100, i moved in double, turning the big 10. I'm extremely grateful for being old enough to have realized & appreciate at the time, not just the massive physical accomplishment, but also the social impact of celebrating the cultural uniqueness of a large diversity of nations while bringing them together into a peaceful, true global village. Having an 18 years old brother who introduced me to the music he listened to, i was a little more socially aware of the cultural revolution than my fellow 10 years olds. I remember thinking, San Fransisco could keep their 'summer of love', (i was too young anyway 😂), we had Expo 67!

He and his family was devastated, I just thank god he survived after 2 months in the hospital. It was an awakening reminder material things mean nothing, because you can replace a house and a car, which he did, but you cannot replace a life. Ps - a HUGE THANK YOU to all those that came to help!!!!

    A wonderful coverage of Expo's impact. I was 11 when it opened, 12 when it closed, and much wiser after visiting. My only quibble is something that was missing. It was Prime Minister John Diefenbaker that made Expo happen by throwing the weight of the Government of Canada behind it in November 1962. Diefenbaker lost the 1963 election but the die had been set and the Expo braintrust was unstoppable. He apparently told Drapeau to "think big" and the mayor was the master promoter and showman it needed to succeed.
