More on how the Norway maple is invading not only our mountain, but our money and stamps as well.

Are people still "introducing" alien species willy-nilly? Most of the familiar natural features in the city are not native here: the sparrow, the pigeon, the Lombardy poplar, the Norway maple, even dirt-common weeds like the plantain and the burdock. Jacques Cartier would've seen a very different natural landscape.
