Good Morning #Canada
#HappyBirthday to Jean Drapeau, Mayor of Montreal 1954-57 and 1960-86. Born on this day in 1916, in Montreal, he passed away in 1999. His legacy includes delivering Canada's Centennial birthday party #Expo67 and the 1976 #SummerOlympics to the city. But his most famous quote haunted him for years...

“The Games could no more run a deficit than a man could have a baby."

What’s left of Montreal’s Expo 67? A look at the remnants of a world’s fair | CBC News

Expo 67 in Montreal is considered to be one of the most successful world's fairs ever to be held. It catapulted Montreal onto the world stage and led to the development of major infrastructure projects. But now, almost 60 years on, fewer and fewer Expo 67-era monuments remain.
