Trippy pic vid.

Metro, Toronto traffic lights are vertical and the street signs for the most part are also quite similar to Vancouver.

It's actually not in Montreal the city but in Laval...

Why do you assume it is True North Properties?

Because buildings with red/tan stucco are their staple, and I know they've built a few projects in Montreal like that group of commie-block apartment slabs. A true eyesore.

And Laval/Montreal, whatever. Same CMA. When I lived in Montreal I never thought as Laval as a separate city, maybe I didn't live there long enough.

How long did you live here? Because pretty much nobody here considers Montreal and Laval as "one". Kinda like TO and Mississauga.

Looks good. I like RBC 10x more during the night then I do during the day.

Some screen shots from a pretty awesome Edmonton Balloon ride (not me).

Nice! I took a few snaps of their ride... pretty.

Love this one looking right down Jasper Avenue from ~124st.

That it is... Jasper runs the entire length of the downtown whereas 'Whyte Avenue' just south of the river is the main drag there.

Edmonton is far more dense than most would lead you to believe. New areas not so much but within the mature neighbourhood overlay (the older inner circle of the city), it is reasonably dense and quite interesting.
