Travel back in time as Robert and I discuss the unimaginable poverty of Montreal during the transition from the Victorian to the Edwardian era. We also delve into the complex ways in which our cherished city differs from that era to our own, as well as what resonates today. Also the genesis of the St. Pat's annual parade. A must listen for Montrealers of any age,as well as history buffs from all socks and walks of life, and those already familiar with or planning to explore our beautiful and culturally diverse city,
Nota Bene:During the conversation, Robert was not sure if there was mention of St Patrick's day. After checking the historical record, he discovered that there was indeed a parade in 1901.
