Montreal family fights to keep home from being expropriated for a new subway ventilation station.

The Ly family in Montreal, who have lived in their home for 40 years, is fighting to save their property from expropriation by the city's public transit agency, STM, for a new subway ventilation station. The family, including two elderly parents, received a letter asking them to vacate by mid-November but secured a two-month extension until January. The STM claims the right to seize the property under Quebec law, though a petition with nearly 2,900 signatures supports the family's request for alternative locations.
