Against the voracious concrete and a ruthless developer, a poet stands tall, the last bulwark against oblivion, like a Gaul defying Caesar. He gathers voices from the past, revives memories, and weaves an ode to Ville Jacques-Cartier's working-class heritage, a haven where hopes and struggles once echoed.
