hilarious to build a monument to these creatures that will be the death of our race. They're so much cuter than kids.

Claude Cormier always had a penchant fort kitsch. Here he went almost overboard. Haven't seen it in person yet, but it looks well done though.

He's planning a feline equivalent as part of The Well development

I might say "whimsy" rather than "kitsch". I've only seen it in photos, but the setting is gorgeous and it has a playful element that I wish we saw more of in our cities.

I haven't seen it in person either but Toronto doesn't do silly too often so I think I'll like it.

LOL, I wonder if it will feature a fountain with cats spraying?

That's great to hear! Toronto has a notable lack of great fountains downtown, they look quite good when contrasted with our more modern backdrops. Hopefully this leads to him getting more work in this city.

^^
Is that the new permanent ferris wheel that was to be added to the Old Montreal waterfront? Or the temporary one that was there before?

Awesome, looks good. I remember everyone was worried it would block out part of the skyline and make it look awkward, but it fits right in and gives another unique layer.

Agreed. I always thought that Ferries Wheel are a festive and even romantic sight. It fits in many European capitals, so why not in our "little" old town.

Illuminated, it's even better.
