The "Flag" in the parc

This statue has been here as long as the parc, that is to say not all that long...I remember a time when the park La Dauversière (right across the street from Montreal city hall) was a yucky concrete parking lot, always full on top and stinky dark and drenched in garbage on the bottom level where the homeless would unfortunately come to rest.  Now the homeless have a great park with nice benches (?) and this infamous statue of our former Maire Drapeau.
