Well, at least you're no longer claiming that he actually restored anything, even if that's what you're trying to imply with weasel words like "experience and success with large scale heritage projects", so I suppose that's progress.

Nonetheless you have failed to demonstrare how the fact that Blanchard manages buildings that were saved by others, entitles him to destroy a significant portion of the streetwall of our most important urban space.

With all the vacant land in the downtown, the notion that we need to tear down heritage buildings to increase density is absurd. If we can't have nice things, it's because of speculators like Blanchard knocking out irreplaceable stretches of streetwalls, and devaluing the building stock and public spaces that others have invested so much in.
