Some are unrealistic (individual albums); others, well, there is already a lot of red with the interlanguage links. Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Elinruby (talk) 07:15, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Closed villages

edit

The striking comment about a "closed" village would be familiar to someone in Quebec, but probably not outside of Canada. In fact, 152 decaying small towns were kept afloat by the Quebec government for a while, but it became too expensive and the program was ended.[1] The French term is municipalité dévitalisée and is often rendered "decayed municipality" or village in English. (And sometimes "devitalized municipality" which sounds too literal and meaningless to me.)

Hi Mathglot - Just to add a few precisions about the closed villages. Decaying doesn't mean closed in this context. St-Octave-de-l'Avenir was indeed "closed" like 12 other villages in the area out of 81 targetted in the seventies. Lots were bought out by the government, houses were either destroyed or moved. But opposition from the population of the remaining villages targetted stopped the government to close more. The 152 decaying small towns you are referring to are from a very different time (2015) and none of them are closed. I'm not sure this reference is useful for this. To be continued. Cheers!
