Yes Montreal is a very beautiful city for sure! I do want to go again..but will be sure to go with someone who speaks the language ..I am not trying to knock anyones heritage or anything (for its true no matter where you go in this world you are always going to run into some rude people) ..but its so strange the vibes and the conflicts that seem to on between the Quebec french and the accadian french .at least here in the Maritimes.and having traveled to all the provinces quite a bit on my journey's ..well I guess I have had more not so nice experiences there that has turned me off of wanting to go there much..It may have alot to do with the Separtist thing that seems to cause the conflicts? Being a transplanted yankee I sometimes have a hard time understanding it.. From all the locals that I talk to here though they seem to think that the Quebecors walk all over them when they come here for their summer holidays..Not sure why that is ,
