#512015-07-19 18:44The City of Montreal, a much larger City than Longueuil, has no problem with its boroughs who retain the name of the boroughs on all public buildings and arenas and unlike the City of Longueuil. There is no question of French or English, just unanimity. Why can't Longueuil be as generous since it is collecting taxes from Greenfield Park and St-Hubert? I could understand if these boroughs were not paying their fair share! I am from Greenfield Park, born and raised.

#532015-07-19 21:10Our language is being eaten up, our rights are getting to be non-existant, our town is being robbed of it's heritage, ask the Vets who they fought for. |

#542015-07-19 21:27My relatives the Douris's and Larrisseys have lived there for over 60 years and it was always Greenfield Park and will always be Greenfield Park to us! |

#552015-07-19 21:45Because of the mean spirited people who are trying to wipe out the rights of the English population of St. Hubert and Greenfield Park. Enough is enough. |

#562015-07-19 21:46I was once a resident of Saint Bruno de montarville, and I totally get this petition, and have no problems signing it. |
Guest |
#572015-07-19 22:01because I lived in Saint bruno de montarville, and visited Greenfield Park and Saint Hubert, plus my husband was a long time employee with Pratt and Whitney. I think they should stay like that. |

#592015-07-19 23:50I lived in Greenfield Park for 10 years and my father still lives there. The names of the communities evoke the history of the region and we should respect that. |

#602015-07-20 00:00I believe that Greenfield Park has a proud history that involves every citizen, regardless of their language or culture. It was Greenfield Park, not Longueuil, that had the greatest number of recruits in relation to the town's total population than any other Canadian community during both World Wars, a fact noted and commended by Prime Minister MacKenzie King and Defense Minister Ralston. My father and four of his brothers were members of the Armed Forces, and my father, along with three of his brothers, saw active duty and proudly served Canada, and their home town of Greenfield Park. Many other citizens of Greenfield Park have proudly represented our town in a number of professions, as well as in sport, the arts and entertainment. Every one of us want to be identified with our wonderful home town, and we would like visitors to know and recognize on sight that the town which we are so proud to call our home is Greenfield Park. I respectfully ask those in authority to restore the signage that identifies our home as Greenfield Park. Thank you/Merci. |

#622015-07-20 01:08Because I now live in St.Lambert but my heart is still in Greenfield Park wherei we llived for 40 or more years. With all the troubles around the world is it not ridiculous to be arguing over language? |

#632015-07-20 10:47I grew up in Greenfield Park and it would be a sad thing when I visit back and see no signage. A little piece of history would be lost. |
Guest |
#652015-07-21 01:38Because greenfield Park has their bilingual status and it should be left that way, plus we are a borough and would like to be recognized as one. |
Guest |
#672015-07-21 21:42I used to live in Greenfield Park and hope it can keep its name and status as a bilingual town. |

#682015-07-21 22:06I was born and raised in Greenfield park and even though I have since moved to Ontario it remains my home. I feel GPK has a right to keep its identity within the realm of the megacity. |
Guest |
#692015-07-21 22:28I am a born and raised GPKER although I dont live there anymore it is still my home town and have family still living in GPK |

#702015-07-21 22:52My family lived in the Park from the 1920's.I don't see any reason for the names to be changed.It is a historical Town and please leave it that way |
Guest |
#712015-07-22 00:55I am proud to say I live in Greenfield Park. I have lived here for the past 56 years. |
Guest |
#732015-07-22 03:44I grew up in Greenfield Park and am proud of it. I voted against the merger but if we have to live with it, at least allow our identity to remain intact. We are, after all, the citizens living here. Bonnie |

#742015-07-22 11:10When my family first moved to Greenfield Park there were mainly English families there, in fact just two French families lived in the Park. Conserve the history as it actually was please. |
Guest |
#752015-07-22 11:38Because amalgamation should be used to share services and cut operating costs, not to strip a town of its identity and culture. |
