The Old Port of Montreal is not a Walt Disney theme park.

     There is a proposal to convert The Old Port of Montreal into a Canadian version of Disneyland, according to a recent document.
Silo Number 5 will become a ride for thrill seekers, with "a six-kilometer loop that culminates in a breathtaking view from the top of Silo number 5." The Clock Tower Pier will be "transformed into a special site for cultural, social and recreational tourism institutions."
What exactly does that mean? Will Cirque de Soleil perform acrobatic stunts in front of the Clock Tower?
Will magician David Copperfield make the Tower disappear, just as he made the Statue of Liberty disappear? And will he telekinetically change the hands of time on the clock when it reappears?
Will the Clock Tower be illuminated with lights at night, so that the lights transform into different colours during special occasions, for example blue when a male royal baby is born and pink when a female royal baby is born.
The heavy metal band Metallica played at the Plains of Abraham when I visited Quebec City a few years ago. The tour bus operator said too many people were waiting in line to see Metallica, so I could not leave the bus and walk on the landscape. It does seem a little disrespectful for people to be dancing on a battlefield where soldiers died at the Plains of Abraham.
The Clock Tower is a "Sailor's Memorial Clock", a symbol that should be respected.
