Space-Pope posted:why would i want to go to canada? this is true of a lot of cities in canada, yeah. toronto is just new york city * 0.7 and cleaner, for instance. (countdown to some stuffed-head new yorker coming in to crow about how NO city is ANYTHING like NYC) montreal is not like anything you'll find in the USA. new orleans is the nearest analogy but only because it's french, has good food, and is bizarre. in every other way it's nothing like new orleans either. there is no voodoo in montreal and not that many black people. and the tourists are far better at containing their bodily fluids. Citizen Tayne posted:This might be the worst statistic to pass about Montreal. montreal's signature dish is a smoked meat that's like pastrami, but better. eat it with mustard or on a sandwich or on top of poutine. montreal bagels are unique to that city but are also the best bagels in the world, and the only ones actually worth consuming. montreal is architecturally known for its style of strange three-story walk-ups with wrought-iron stairs that are both elegant and conducive to community socialization. montreal only finished paying off the 1976 olympics in like 2014.

when we were all 17 we went to ottawa for our AP Gov't & Politics class to meet some canadian high school class and we went to a session of parliament and got throw out because the aspergers kid in our class would not stop loudly telling himself robert's rules of order. then we went across the border and found out that canadian strippers are WHORES!

A guy I was bullshitting with asked me where I was from and how long I've lived in Pittsburgh and said, "You've been here 15 years and you still sound like you're from New Jersey."
