Well, Montréal Centre-ville – an organization that principally serves to drive tourists to restaurants in various parts of downtown #Montréal – has renamed this place, which has been known as Shaughnessy Village for a long time, #Shoni. They have plastered the neighbourhood with this new 5-letter word

Thomas Shaughnessy, who was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1853, used to live in the house where the Canadian Centre for Architecture is. He was the president of Canadian Pacific and he was made a baron by the British government in 1916. Personally, I don't think we NEED to use this guy's name for our neighbourhood. It is simply the case that this has been the most common name for our neighbourhood for a long time (which is incidentally why I often say things like "Canada" or "America" even though there's a strong case that we should indigenous names for different parts of this continent or the landmass as a whole)

"Shoni" is certainly much easier to spell, to say, and to type, and so that its value – both for the people with Montréal Centre-ville, but potentially for us too

I don't think Montréal Centre-ville's rebranding campaign has been in my best interests as a renter or a resident of the neighbourhood. I am happy for the people at the marketing agency, who need to pay their mortgages or whatever, but I don't necessarily love it when the sidewalks are jampacked with people from other parts of town, or tourists from the United States or whatever, who've come to my neighbourhood to party. The name "Shoni" sounds a lot like #Homa, which is how land speculators and businesspeople rebranded #Hochelaga as part of what a lot of people would call #gentrification

But I'm not scared of a word and I don't think anyone can copyright it. Plus it's short!

«📣Vu sur #hochelaga au niveau du Viaduc !
MERCI aux militant.e.s qui se sont faufilé.e.s dans la nuit pour recouvrir ces panneaux publicitaires d'un message on ne peut plus clair :
⛔️Aucun boulevard ne passera dans le #boisésteinberg!⛔️
👉Celui-ci est menacé par la construction d’une nouvelle route prévue pour recevoir l’augmentation des activités portuaires dans notre quartier, dont #RayMontLogistiques.
Ce projet porté par la Ville de Montréal, le MTQ et le Port de Montréal, serait financé par des fonds publics et desservira principalement des intérêts économiques privés.
✊Ensemble, protégerons le boisé Steinberg!🌳🌳🌳
🚫Une nouvelle route en 2023, c’est non!
#StopAssomption! »

Hochelaga : terre des âmes 1/2
#Amérindien #cinéma #FrançoisGirard #histoire #Hochelaga #Montréal

Film écrit et réalisé par François Girard, Montréal : Films Séville, 2018

Belle (et juste) place réservée aux Amérindiens dans ce film historique sur Hochelaga, l'ancien nom donné à la Ville de Montréal. Des éclairages enveloppants, une lumière chaude, qui magnifient les diverses scènes. Il y a des plans cinématographiques fabuleux, des scènes belles à couper le souffle.

L'intérêt donné aux artefacts (d'une fouille archéologique dans un stade de football) et au personnage du prophète pour engager les passages historiques est bien trouvé. Les scènes qui rassemblent les différents personnages à la fin du film sont aussi une bonne idée. C'est un film tout en finesse qui se regarde bien.

> Ok so I am looking for an affordable room to rent in #Montreal. Preferably #Hochelaga, or something south eastish [editor: so like #CentreSud]
>
> About me: I go to bed by 10 pm on weekdays and get up early. Mostly introverted. Clean and organized. In my 40s, queer, somewhat ace, I have a professional job so I present as fairly normal, but i do have a punk aesthetic buried deep inside.

> For Feb. 1

Boosting this a friend (who is on the fediverse, even!) #ColocationMontreal #ColocsMTL #MTL

This person a) is cool, b) speaks French at an average "well-educated" anglo-Canadian level, e.g. sorta, and c) probably has many other traits and characteristics worth mentioning
