It's not the city of Montreal who decided to demolished the church, it's mainly politicians from Quebec City who don't give a damn about Montreal's heritage buildings. It's a shame about the church and it's a shame about the lovely art deco building. As for the greystones, it seems nobody cared because there are so many everywhere in the city. But it's a shame anyway.
