Just a few comments that I thought were important to share from an “outsider” (which I am less and less considering myself as- but nonetheless was when I came to Canada 5 years ago).
Our Lifestyle and Nightlife = Clubs are ready to kick you out at 2:45am, when in other countries, we can stay and dance the night away until 4-5am..
We don’t have that many “great” clubs. You can count them
on your fingers.

The Beauty = You didn’t mention anything about the winter that we get in Montreal which, I would say, is the primary season that represents our city. Out of 12 months, 6 of it at least require us to wear some sort of thick layered clothing to go out. Not that it’s unpleasant, winter has its beauty too (all of the outdoor activities truly show what Montreal is about, vs. winter season in any other country).
Social and Political Aspects = You mention that “we have shelters and many different wonderful organizations that help the ones in need, making sure that people are not starving or sleeping on the streets.”, but why is it that I still see [downtown] people begging for change, or other unfortunate people sleeping in the winter at the entrance of metros that we have? Also, how are we not getting good medical service when we are paying so much tax? Yes it’s free…but I have never before heard of ligning up at a hospital for over 14hrs to get SOME sort of medical attention. Do we have to be breathing our last breath to be even looked at?

Yes Montreal is a very exciting city, and it has a lot of advantages versus disadvantages, but we need to recognize the negative points as much as the positive ones so that someone someday can wake up and create a change.

Thank you for your very positive view of our wonderful city, it truly does have many of the aspects that you covered, but just thought I would drop a few comments on a few of the crucial points that you brought up that may not be as perfect as we think.
