I'm not sure of the name of this building in old Quebec City, but I do know 2 things, I think - it sure looks like the building is giving all who view it over the skyline "the finger," and, apparently, Jean Charest, the Quebec provincial premier, has an office on the top floor - nice view!Monday, October 18, 2010

Price Building is an 18-floor (originally 16) skyscraper in Quebec City, Canada. Built in 1930-1931 amid controversy for Price Brothers ltd., it is the tallest building in the Old Quebec historical district, and one of the oldest skyscrapers in Canada. The building is the property of the Quebec City municipal administration, but is leased to and used by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. A memorial is attached to the building. In 2001, it became the location of an official residence for the Premier of Quebec, which occupies two of the upper floors.
That's great. Thanks for the history lesson.
How fitting to be viewed by the rest of Canada!? The bird is the word.
