By now, most Canadians refer to Montreal as the city with a crumbling infrastructure. Over the years, there has been several reports of concrete literally from the sky, yet politicians have been slow to react. That is until now. Earlier this week, city councillor Patrice Rousillion spoke to This is That to share his thoughts on how Montrealers should best deal with their crumbling city.

"Lets face it," said Rousillion, "We're never going to fix the city's infrastructure, so now we must focus on how we can defend ourselves against it."


Listen to the interview in its entirety to learn more about why Rousillion believes "a city-wide, mandatory hard hat program" is the only way to protect the city.

This is That is an award-winning satirical current affairs show that doesn't just talk about the issues, it fabricates them.
