> Montreal? Calgary? Edmonton? Halifax? St. John's?

Winter.

Montreal is great. I recommend it. Yeah it's a bit cold but it's dry so not damp cold. Would you rather be a bit cold or working like a dog for some US company where your healthcare could vanish overnight because your boss was in a bad mood?

Montreal is great in some ways. In other ways you run into the regular overt hatred of non francophones.

""My mom was laying in her bed, she turned over and I noticed she was crying," says Martin. "That's when she told me a nurse had just yelled at her for speaking in English.""

Thats the kind of mean spirited people that work in the "civil service".

Anyone who denies it, hasn't lived in Montreal long enough and needs to get out to Sherbrooke or Drummonville a little more often to see that natives in their full hatred.

Fight Anglophobia.

Neither. That's why I moved from California to Australia five years ago. Don't regret it.
