I suppose it depends on what type of boom you're talking about. If you mean transportation infrastructure then yes. Other than the subway to nowhere and the Scarborough RT failure, nothing much has happened in the last 30 years.

We have been booming seemingly forever but the years 1967 to 1972 were a huge peak in development in just about every category. This is not to say Montreal wasn't the premier metropolis of the sixties but, Toronto's modern era buildings and infrastructure are as old with many of the same issues.

Falling concrete sends construction worker to hospital
Published Tuesday July 28th, 2009

MONTREAL - Montreal police say a construction worker is in hospital with serious head injuries after a chunk of concrete from a freeway fell on his head.


The man was working on the Turcot Interchange when he was struck by the piece of falling concrete.

Quebec's worker health and safety board and provincial police are investigating the accident.

Police spokeswoman Anie Lemieux says it's not immediately clear if the man was working on the structure or underneath it.

It seems to have happened again...............

It isn't on CBC's site so the T&T is not that late I guess.
