It looks like something you would expect to see in the GTA or Greater Vancouver area and not so much Montreal. Well that new mall will likely be popular with immigrants.

Ahh, Parc Extension. It used to feature some of the most economically-deprived areas of Canada (not sure if it still does), and it has always been a place where the most disadvantaged immigrants have settled.

Somebody better call the OQLF, because these signs are not compliant.
Parc Extension is a weird place (not in a Trumpy/bad sense of the word, but by virtue of where it is situated: literally two blocks away from upscale Town of Mount Royal (TMR) and adjacent to wealthy Outremont (The francophone answer to Westmount).
Boulevard de l"Acadie has this fence, which is rather like the Berlin Wall, in the sense of the sharp divide between TMR and Parc Extension.
