Most of these buildings are still barried underground. That’s why they all have windows so low. The building keeps going down the underground. This is how all the cities have tunnels. U think them humans that didn’t know how to write were making these building but now that we’re smarter we can’t 😅 come on man… what? I’ll wait.
This architectural heritage of which Montreal is proud today is the fruit of the colossal fortunes amassed by a handful of Britons, Scots and Irish during the time of the British Empire, thanks to the hard work of French Canadians exploited as cheap labor, working for miserable wages, confined to their poverty-stricken neighborhoods in defiance of their language and culture. These financial magnates benefited from a favorable situation after the conquest of New France and particularly during the 19th century until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s.
Cool story, bro. Bit between 1830 and the 1860s (the same time that many of the various industries in Montreal were developed/industrialization was taking place) Montreal was a majority English-speaking city. I.e. the majority of the people being exploited to make others super rich were English.
@@zedxyle According to the distribution of the inhabitants of Upper and Lower Canada from the years 1800-1871, Montreal had 37,538 inhabitants at the beginning of the 1830s and Quebec 28,339. According to the linguistic or religious distribution of these, either Francophone and Anglophone, Catholic and Protestant, 11,058 Anglophones resided in Montreal compared to 6,000 in Quebec. What suggests that these two main cities of Lower Canada were predominantly English-speaking is the economic weight of this group, imposing on the French-speaking majority conquered in the 18th century, its language, its British imperialist institutions, habits and customs. Since the Conquest of 1760, the Treaty of Paris (1763) which ceded New France to the English, at the end of the Seven Years' War, Anglophones have always been a minority in Quebec, but have always behaved as majority in contempt and detriment of the French-speaking majority. And it still prevails today noting the negative reaction of the English-speakers of Quebec as for the adoption of the Law 96, on the protection of French, official language of Quebec. These data come from Statistics Canada - Censuses of 1665-1871.
These old buildings were found after the flood. They look way older than were told. Look at that weathering. Looks ancient. 1700s Forsure. Not build by the humans of this new world.
Well done - thanks. Glad to see the Sun Life Building included

Eclectic - She said it so many times I had to look up the definition.

These homes belong to the humans of the past. That’s why the doors were bigger. There was giants in those days.
We get the leftovers.
