Hey buddy! Just to add a side note about the language thingy: Montreal is home to a huge immigrant population from across Europe that came over in the 50's, 60's and 70's. So their kids, like me, grew up speaking our parent's language at home (Spanish, Italian, Greek, etc etc…) AND learning both French and English in school, on the streets, at work. So yeah, many Montrealers are TRI-LINGUAL and we can switch between these languages during a conversation.

When trying to help some American friends imagine Montreal's vibe, I once described it as "Imagine New York and Paris had a smaller love child, which has the same party loving attitude as its cousin New Orleans". It's a crude description but it evokes the mix of bagels, cafés and nightlife that one can find there.

Hi Tyler, if you ever decide to visit Montreal I will take care of a grand Canadian food tour for you! My husband is a chef so would be a great video to try the commercial stuff vs homemade!

Thanks<, for the update I always appreciate the insight. <I'm really blown away by the fact that having watched your videos for so long, I had the same opinion that you are putting forth in this video. <The sudden plunge in the crypto market is being attributed to the Fed’s expected interest rate hike in September. Bitcoin is on a uptrend and has dropped by 4% in the past 24 hours, the key areas of support are the 0.5 Fibonacci level from the low in June to recent high. The second level is in the golden pocket region around $20.5k. I think bitcoin will continue its wild swings between $21-24.5K the market dynamics of the last few days, as of now, two significant developments are on the horizon for bitcoin. My hope is that by the fourth quarter, the economy will be slowing enough that the Fed says we are going to pause, and then you will see the next crypto cycle start. I have witnessed the last 3 cycles and just before each bull run the amount of bear posts and negativity around crypto is just like it is now. Bitcoin is entering the area of where a bottom will be formed IMO. Please note this could take months and there will likely be further volatility in both directions. Despite the volatility that has ruled the market this year, being a retail trader in the crypto market and implementing strategies/signals from Jan Lainer a professional broker/tradr that has been my mentor, I have accumulated 12' btc! in profits although the rates are capricious wiping out some of my profits, people who are open to learning from history, will survive It’s not that difficult.

That flag is the provincial flag of the Province of Quebec. It's the Fleur de Lis. Each province has a provincial flag as does each US state.

About winter… It's not just the cold and the snow. Though big snow banks can be a problem for getting around, the biggest problem with winter is freezing rain. When the streets, sidewalks, and even the snow get frozen over and become more slippery than an ice rink, the city can be pretty slow to react and to spread salt to make it safe to walk or drive, at least outside of the main streets. I've seen two weeks go by before anything was done in my neighborhood. Slipping and falling isn't always funny. You can seriously hurt yourself. Or slide in the way of a car. There have been mornings in the winter where I just opened the door, saw everything outside completely covered in a frozen sheen, and cried because I had no idea how I was going to make it to the metro (subway) station in one piece.

Try and imagine at the same way that New York City and its surrounding burrows works Toronto as well as Montreal work the same way a lot of cities in fact in Canada have this

Somehow they didn't mention the Old Port and that it's an island

I should point out Montreal is cheaper because winter is like -35c and Toronto only gets to like -10c. It's also mostly because of the French. The laws there make nobody want to live there. So demand isn't as high as Toronto

I dislike Quebec a lot. Suffered there for 11 years. But honestly Montreal is awesome and has everything. The only thing missing is an aquarium. Amazing food, lots of hot chicks, and alcohol. Lots to do and see. And it's old. But leave the island and you'll be treated like dirt for not being french

Yes Montréal the night live…and Québec is both a province and a City lol and all the province of Quebec live in french school is on french but we mostly all speak english too

That's the flag for the entire province of Quebec

Quebec is both a city and the province its in.

Not bias, its called strong protectionism since 2 centuries.

The vast majority of people in Canada live very close to the border. Mostly resource extraction higher up and not much else, except beautiful nature of course. And trillions of mosquitoes and black flies of course.

Cringe every time you say the city's name…it's pronounced as 'Muntreal' not MONtreal…

I suggest you do one of these on Victoria, British Columbia. <3

also, we pronounce Montreal, Mon, like in Monday +tree +all and not Mon, like in Monster.

Another thing about montreal is that you don't have to travel the world to try some food; there are restaurant that serve food from so many country.

Dude y,all" handsome

Im a native Montrealer who has lived and travelled all over the world. There is definitely a uniqueness, charm and excitement about this city. I'm a proud Montrealer and my father was an architect who contributed a lot to the architectural skyline. When i miss him, i can walk downtown and see his buildings .

Please follow the city name with the province. It's Montréal Québec, just as it's Boston Massachusetts and not Boston USA.

I live in Québec. When I was in highschool, a lot of my teachers would go to work in bicycle. They live like 2-3 cities away from our school.

The blue& white cross : Quebec flag = same as The ' lone star' Texas flag
The white flag& red cross: flag of Montreal city in Quebec.

I have been living in Montreal all my life. My first language is French my second is English my dream would be to learn Japanese but I think it's a bit too complicated.

Quebec is a province like Ontario British Columbia etc. Montreal is a city in the province of Quebec just as is Quebec City.

The funny thing is across Canada French I nothing more then an annoyance. It is responsible for massive amounts of taxpayers money being waisted simply to protect a language only used in a very small part of Canada. The simple fact is according to recent data more people speak Cantonese or Hindi then French in Canada at this point. The problem is the way are electoral systems work in Canada its Quebec and Ontario who ultimately choose are politicians not the Canadian population as a whole so Quebec interests are overwhelming given the spotlight over anywhere els in Canada so the French propaganda will forever be pushed into the spotlight over actual real issues that are far more important

We speak english in Montréal, and you can work in english also, really

As a Canadian, our health care system isn't good at all. The pandemic exposed how bad it really is. Much like most of the world, cities and provinces in Canada face severe health care worker shortages and health care workers and lab workers are paid horribly compared to the amount of hours they put in. The solution in most provinces in Canada is to build more hospital which costs the system more money to operate rather than building multiple tertiary health care clinics in communities so people go there for less serious issues instead of emerge for minor health issues when they csnt see a physician. Its also still very difficult to make an appointment with your family doctor these days. Many still operate virtually because they dont have any time to physically see all of their patients. I have personally been waiting 5 months to get an ear issue checked out by a specialist. Our waiting lists for everything is atrocious. South Korea is an example of a properly structured health care system that is segmented to treat people in specific locations based on severity and type of issue so that people aren't clogging up the network in a specific area. Canada has a long ways to go but our political leaders keep making the same mistakes…building more hospitals isn't the answer and treating health care workers poorly and paying them bad will only convince them to retire early or find another profession.
