United Nations HQ in Montreal?

Via Metroblogging Montreal: According to La Presse the Canadian government has "informally proposed" moving the UN's headquarters to Montreal.

Given that there has always been a large contingent in the US, including it's current President, that didn't like the UN's headquarters being in New York this is more of a possibility than you might think. Someone certainly put some work into it: The complex would be larger than the current UN complex (65 Acres instead of 7) and would cost roughly the same as the current proposed renovations. Have a look at the models here to give you an idea of what it would look like.
