- Montréal Station. For one thing, everyone associates Montréal Road with Vanier, not this part of town. This is also the point where Montréal becomes St-Joseph. I would recommend Beacon Hill Station instead.
- Better name for Queensview? Maybe IKEA? Baxter? Queensway Terrace? Citizen?
- Pinecrest is just before the street changes to Greenbank. I'd recommend Foster or Dumaurier. Maybe not Dumaurier. Love the name but ruined by cancer sticks.

Please, no stations named after businesses (which are not permanent). Then we could get into sponsorships, which would confuse everybody as sponsorships are always fixed in length. We don't need to get this crassly commercial.
