Update: here, as you drive from Québec to Ontario, the terminology changes from french to english, but it seems they put the whole bridges in Ontario… Wait, here, it seems the Interprovincial bridge has no designation at both ends… Hmmm. On the Macdonald-Cartier bridge, it looks like the “autoroute” goes far into Ontario… (Click “forward”) twice to see it change… And lastly, check the wierd changes of terminology, here, deep into Québec (and the whole bridge is in Ontario)…

Bob, you should move to Moronto if you want to be 100% english. Over there, you’ll get a medal for doing that.

The face-blurring algorithm has some hiccups… Here, in Toronto, it blurred the “face” of a subway train…

NEUMontreal, I don't think Google is meaning to disrespect anybody. The "Park Ave" thing is definitely a mistake. Most streets have their actual name. Write them an email in a non-defensive tone and I'm sure they'll be happy to fix it :)

Sorry, Bob, if you don't think the French language is worth defending. I do.

I think they started taking pics early this spring, as my place near where the car was parked is pictured in full leafless condition....and there's still lotsa leaves on them trees outside right now. Cool observation about the season change!

On a similar token, Street View automatically blurred Rene-Levesque's statue at the Hydro-Quebec building.. I found that rather enjoyable

Unfortunately, many of the street names in Montréal are wrong on Google Street View.
