Instead, this big tower will soon detract from commuters' home gateway view and revenues from it will flow back to Montreal. <br /><br />I can only hope it will <i>also</i> serve as a regular reminder for Pontiac residents to get more involved in opposing such projects next time.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801568293815741694noreply@blogger.com
