I see it on my bicycle. I get to see the highway. If you're driving, you're in a car or a truck, you're seeing the highway from on top. When I'm on my bicycle, I'm seeing the underneath of the highway because I'm riding the same highway, but it's underneath it. That's where the bicycle path is. I hope a chunk of concrete don't hit me in the head. That's how it is. It's all falling apart. The scariest part is what you don't think about. I'm not talking about the sewer line. I'm talking about that gas main that goes right through Montreal. That's a sit and time bomb. That has to all be replaced. Maybe they're replacing little sections from time to time, but that thing is just about ready to go. They should just replace it. How can you do that? All that stuff costs money. They were lucky they had enough money to put up that new bridge we got. That new bridge. That cost almost the entire budget. That new bridge is something. The first time I went over it, it's an impressive piece of steel. When I started doing plumbing in Montreal, they were talking about 50% of the water, the potable water was wasted in Montreal because of old infrastructure. They were talking about old wooden aquifers buried that are delivering water. I got to see old lead pipes in apartment buildings that took the water from the ground floor up. Montreal, the entire city needs huge, huge makeovers. I refused to drive on the Metropolitan. Once it started falling apart, I took the slow long way down on the ground. It's like the tunnels. I'll drive around. I'll do a bridge before a tunnel. The two of them, one day they're just going to collapse on everybody.
