Our 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.

My 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!

Because 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.

I was once a resident of Saint Bruno de montarville, and I totally get this petition, and have no problems signing it.
Guest#57 Jul 19, 2015, 22:01
because 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.

It's about time somebody started standing up to the childish francophones. haven't they already broken constitutional rights, caused discrimination and brought racism back to our society????

I 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.

I 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.

Because 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?

I 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.

We want to keep Greenfield Park Greenfield Park!
Guest#65 Jul 21, 2015, 01:38
Because 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#66 Jul 21, 2015, 21:33
I believe in the importance of a city's identity.
Guest#67 Jul 21, 2015, 21:42
I used to live in Greenfield Park and hope it can keep its name and status as a bilingual town.
Guest#68 Jul 21, 2015, 22:06
I 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#69 Jul 21, 2015, 22:28
I 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

My 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#71 Jul 22, 2015, 00:55
I am proud to say I live in Greenfield Park. I have lived here for the past 56 years.
Guest#72 Jul 22, 2015, 02:12
I grew up in Greenfield Park.
Guest#73 Jul 22, 2015, 03:44
I 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.

When 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.

Because amalgamation should be used to share services and cut operating costs, not to strip a town of its identity and culture.

The 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.
