Jean-Talon (Montreal Metro)
Jean-Talon is a station of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). It is located in the Little Italy district on the border between the boroughs of Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie and Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
It is a transfer station between the Orange Line and Blue Line. The Orange Line station opened on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the Metro.
Overview
Designed by Duplessis, Labelle et Derome, it is a normal side platform station built in tunnel, with a mezzanine on its southern end giving access to several exits, including underground city access to the Tour Jean-Talon.
With the construction of the Blue Line in 1986, the station was greatly expanded. Two large volumes were dug, one on either side of the original station, giving access to the stacked Blue Line platforms below. This portion of the station was designed by Gilbert Sauvé, and included artistic tiling designs by the architect as well as a large mural by Judith Bricault. Another access was built leading to the Plaza Saint-Hubert, connecting to the eastern volume by an automated entrance. The Blue Line platforms were inaugurated on June 16, 1986.
Jean Talon
Jean Talon, Count d'Orsainville (January 8, 1626 – November 23, 1694) was the first Intendant of New France. Talon was appointed by King Louis XIV and his minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert to serve as the Intendant of Justice, Public Order and Finances in Canada, Acadia and Newfoundland for two terms: 1665 to 1668 and 1670 to 1672.
Talon attempted to change the economic base of the colony from fur-trading to agriculture, but found this could not be accomplished without a larger population. Talon arranged for settlers to come to New France, including over 800 women known as the filles du roi – the king's daughters. These were young orphans that came to New France to marry men present there. He encouraged population growth through marriage grants and baby bonuses, which was financial compensation given to a couple when they married, and again when they had children.
worked to increase its population, agricultural production, and private sector. Talon tried to diversify the economy by introducing new crops such as flax and hops for making beer, by starting a shipyard and lumber industry, and by encouraging mining.

No One Would Believe A Summer Could Be So Cold
by: John DillonI've needed you from time to time
but never as much as now
I've grabbed some love from the whores in town
but it don't satisfy somehow
I still got the letter you sent last summer
when I fell at Mechanicsville
I guess you don't know when you'll see me again
of if you ever will
it ain't easy, this living off the land
it ain't easy, oh how I need your hand
to hold - God, no one'd believe a summer could be so
damn cold
you may've heard of the cost of the Gettysburg loss
well I was there with Lee
and since Vicksburg's gone, it won't take 'em long
to capture Tennessee
sometimes I wonder if we're doing right
and if we're going to win this war
I start to forget just why we're here
and what we're fighting for
it ain't easy, living off the land
it ain't easy, oh how I need your hand
to hold - God, no one'd believe a summer could be so
damn cold
Sweet Polly, I've tried to get back to you
to be by your side - but I can't leave now
Grant's army's pushing through
(PICKIN' PIANO, & THUNDER)
they tell you stories of valour and glory
but they ain't near the fact
heroes look bad when all they had
bin eaten by the worms and rats
I hear dying men calling with gangrene crawling
through their flesh and bones
I've seen thousands pleading as they lie bleeding
ain't it time to go back home
it ain't easy, living off the land
it ain't easy, oh how I need your hand
to hold - God, no one'd believe a summer could be so
