You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:29, 23 December 2026. Your current IP address is 3.227.249.192.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Saint-Basile-le-Grand''' ({{IPA|fr|sɛ̃ bazil lə ɡʁɑ̃}}) is a city located in [[La Vallée-du-Richelieu Regional County Municipality]] in southwestern [[Quebec]], Canada. The population as of the [[2021 Canadian Census]] was 17,053.

== History ==
On June 15, 1871, Saint-Basile-le-Grand was created from territories coming from [[Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville]] and [[Carignan, Quebec|Saint-Joseph-de-Chambly]]. On June 7, 1969, the municipality obtained its status as a city. Its territory, the majority of which is still agricultural, occupies an area of 35.84 km2 between the [[Richelieu River]] and [[Mont Saint-Bruno]].

On August 23, 1988, the city suffered an [[Arson|arson attack]] on a [[Polychlorinated biphenyl|PCBs]] [[warehouse]].

For several years now, the citizens of Saint-Basile-le-Grand are able to take advantage of the commuter train. The station located at the corner of boulevard du Millénaire and boulevard Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier ([[Quebec Route 116|Route 116]]) also led, in 2004, to the construction of a small shopping center called "Place de la gare". 

===The Church===
The church was finished at the beginning of January 1877, after a little less than a year of work. The church was built on land donated by Basile Daigneault.

Here is a quote from Mr. Moreau who went to the stone house of Basile Daigneault to hold his meeting:
{{citation bloc|"Built [the house] on the land with Mr. Basile Daigneault as a neighbor on both sides, on Rang des Vingt-Quatre, /…/, it was found that the majority of the freeholder inhabitants wanted to buy it. Consequently, the meeting, considering that Mr. Basile Daigneault, owner of the land on which the said house is located, land which he offered free of charge to the deputy of Monsignor of Montreal to build the church, presbytery and other dependencies of the said parish , without including, however, the said stone house which is built there, asks to sell the said house, before making the contracts of the said land, so that, later, it will serve as a presbytery. ».}}

===The "Bunker"===
Saint-Basile-le-Grand also has its place of choice in the history of [[organized crime]]. Indeed, a fortified square was erected there in the 1990s, at 28 rue Alvarès. The property belonged to a satellite club of the [[Hells Angels]], the Evil Ones. This was in the sights of the municipality in the early 2000s, when a regulation prohibiting fortifications (bulletproof glass, maximum exterior cameras and limitation of the height of fences) was adopted by the city council.

The bunker was seized during the roundup of Operation South in February 2004 to finally be destroyed in January 2006.

== Demographics ==
In the [[2021 Canadian census|2021 Census of Population]] conducted by [[Statistics Canada]], Saint-Basile-le-Grand had a population of {{val|17053|fmt=commas}} living in {{val|6561|fmt=commas}} of its {{val|6635|fmt=commas}} total private dwellings, a change of {{percentage|{{#expr:17053-17059}}|17059|1}} from its 2016 population of {{val|17059|fmt=commas}}. With a land area of {{convert|35.84|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|17053|35.84|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} in 2021.<ref name=2021census>{{cite web | url=https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810000202&geocode=A000224 | title=Population and dwelling counts: Canada, provinces and territories, and census subdivisions (municipalities), Quebec | publisher=[[Statistics Canada]] | date=February 9, 2022 | accessdate=August 29, 2022}}</ref>
