Longueuil, to me, was the Terminus where the city bus let me off at the metro when I went into Montreal. The home from which I traveled TO Longueuil was in Greenfield Park. Just because there has been a political/management merger, why obliterate the local identity and "flavor" of the towns that make up the merged Longueuil? People who live in New York City will not tell you they live in NYC - they live in the Bronx, or Long Island, or Manhattan, or Queens, which are all VERY different areas with their own "culture". The sign as you enter Queens says "Welcome to Queens - The World's Borough" - It lists Bill DeBlasio as mayor, and the name of the current borough president - what it DOESN'T say is "Welcome to New York City". I encourage the Leadership of Longueuil to exercise their collective imaginations in order to similarly actively-preserve the individual identities and local "cultures" of the merged communities.
