 Mount Royal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Royal (French: Mont Royal) (45°30′23″N, 73°35′20″W) is a mountain on the Island of Montreal, immediately north of downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the city to which it gave its name.
The park is also home to the CBC's Mount Royal transmitter facility, which comprises two large buildings (one used primarily by the CBC and one used by the private television stations) and a very short (about 100 m) candelabra tower, from which nearly all of Montreal's television and FM radio stations broadcast.
Mount Royal hosts a unique activity in summer time known as the "Sunday Tam-Tams", whereby hundreds, or if the weather is nice, thousands of Montrealers and visitors play tam-tams (a type of hand drum) on the east slope of the mountain, around the monument to Sir George-Étienne Cartier.

Irwin Cotler (Mount Royal, Lib.): Madam Speaker, I am glad to intervene in this debate on the bill that would give effect to the principle of clarity described by the supreme court in the reference regarding Quebec's right to secede because I want to talk about the clarity of the principles described in this bill.
The fifth principle is that if the Quebec people are permitted to democratically give expression to their will and if there is a clear majority in favour of secession, that will give rise to a right to negotiate and to a corresponding duty on behalf of the federal government to negotiate.
Accordingly, Quebecers and Canadians are entitled, if the referendum process proceeds, to express their will on a clear question on secession.

The leaders of the fledgling settlement prayed to God that if the flood receded, they would raise a cross in honour of the Lord Jesus Christ on Mount Royal.
The floodwaters did abate, and they fulfilled their promise on the 6th of January, 1643, when Paul de Chomeday de Maisonneuve, commander of Ville Marie, erected a wooden cross on the mountain.
Though not the largest illuminated cross in Canada (the honour there goes to Sault St. Marie, Ontario), the cross at Mount Royal stands as a perpetual reminder (for all Canadians) of the power of prayer, and God's keen interest in loving and helping all people who call upon the name of the Lord.
