End every sentence with "eh" and you'll fit right in.

When I worked for a big company, I used to bring Canadians out to help us with jobs we did in Hawaii. Imagine that, my guys were so burned out on Hawaii I had to bring in outsiders. Anyway, about a year or so in to it we got in trouble for hiring undocumented workers LOL. We had to get work visa's for the Canadians. Thought never even crossed my mind :D

It's a great town. I took a cruise out of New York a few years back that went up the East Coast and we finished there in Montreal. It's a walking town, you really don't need a cab, just start walking, and there are plenty of places too eat and things to do. If you get a chance, take a side trip over to Quebec City. The old town in the center is magical, as the original stone fortress walls are still there, and walking around inside of them around the shops is great fun...and very historical. HAve a great time....lose the eh, and you'll be fine....LOL..... ;)

We'll I have to admit due to several years of the tom brown experience I had some preconceived stereotypes and ideas about Canada and Canadians. First off I was not greeted at the border by a mounty, I have not seen a moose, and not everyone is wearing a leather toque with ear flaps. The French thing is odd, e very one speaks French but the really speak English also and they sure as fuck don't understand Spanish LOL

Lmao they don't speak Spanish! Too funny!

Growing up in LA and always living in larger cities typically when I go anywhere but NY, Vegas and DC everywhere else is a bit desolate in comparison. It appears as though Montreal isn't that bad.

I have a few Canadian friends and all have always been very nice, never combative. In fact, we always tease about how they negotiate things with a BBQ and a drink. Very hospitable and kind.

Can you please post daytime pics? I'd like to see what it looks like. I've never been and, although it's not on my list, I'm curious.

Wtf? That sucks!

Great day time pics. It looks like the city is older. Similar to going to the north east in the US. Is that accurate?

Is that their Capitol building next to the hotel? They build them like we do? Or is that more of their Kremlin?

When you've already transferred into a socialist state, you have to find a way to charge hippies. We'll start doing that as well once we ban all cars and need more money.

Went to a top notch steak house last night and had dinner for 3, couple glasses of wine, out the door a couple bucks north of a Cnote. Pretty inexpensive, would have been close to $200 at home. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/01/jeja6yda.jpg

So everyone in town is excited that it has warmed up to 50* today, unfortunately it's now raining. They are calling it an Indian summer, goofy bastards LOL
