Cartierville

From Rap Dictionary

Cartierville is located in the northern part of Montreal, Quebec, Canada along the banks of the Rivière des Prairies and is bounded to the east by Montreal North, to the southeast by the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, to the southwest by the borough of Saint-Laurent, and to the west by the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro. Named in the honor of Sir George-Étienne Cartier, it became a village officially in 1906. This area has a high concentration of Afro-Canadians and francaphone residence and has recently seen an increase in drug and gang related violence, which is not uncommon in the area.
