We have much water, thanks to the Army Corps of Engineers, which created many lakes.

Oh, my. What happened there?
The plant having closed permanently in 2002, it was necessary to raze it in order to avoid some criticism from hard-liners that early 1990's giveaways to GM actually meant that all Camaros had to be built at Ste-Thérèse until 2017.

The razing is actually economically good, since the land on which the plant sat is at the intersection of the two major autoroutes (expressways) in the fastest growing area of Quebec, the suburban small/town area north of Montreal. It ought to be gold, eventually, for almost any other purpose.
