OMFG!!!!!!!!!!
Woke up this morning, still sleepy...I check out the headlines on CBC.ca and see this article
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/s...dillac-fairview-development-project.html
Unreal!!!!! I am no writer but I swear I could have written a much better article.

In 5 mins I clicked on the "report typo/inaccuracy" button and dashed this reply off to their editors
"Your article entitled "Developer unveils $2B plans for downtown Montreal" your reporter makes the following remark
"The developer said it also hopes to erect a 50-storey condominium tower on top of the arena..."
The CBC it would seem is behind on this issue. There is no hope for the 50 storey tower, it has ALREADY been approved and units are on sale NOW. It's going to be built. The development community has been talking about this since we first found out about the proposal in 2011!

The developer launched their Facebook page last year
https://www.facebook.com/TourDesCanadiens
The tower will not be "on top" of the arena but rather right beside it at the corner of rue de la Montagne and l'Avenue des Canadiens

Further more, your article doesn't make clear that much of this $2B development will be happening over the next 15 years as stated in the excerpts from a speech given to the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal Strategic Forum on Greater Montreal and its major projects by Mr. Salvatore Iacono, Senior Vice President, Development and Portfolio Management, Eastern Canada Portfolio, The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited.

Whomever wrote this article in English should be spoken to for it was not written properly (I am told the French version of the article was better with more details). It's lacks the details for a project of this magnitude and way too dismissive considering that Tour Des Canadiens will soon start construction and Tour Deloitte is already under construction. Your article makes it sound like these are only just now being proposed.
