Three cons is related to cars. If you live near a metro station, you don't need one. Cycling facilities should be mentioned. The city is vibrant because not only because of the festivals but because it is cultural capital and centre of arts productions of Québec. Many French québécois artists lives and works in the city. The québécois likes to have fun and they are the one who makes the city different from other North American cities. Learning French is a must. All signs commercials or government related are in French. Saying the city is bilingual might be true downtown with the people and tourists, but in reality and officially French is the official language of Montréal. Again, this anglosplaining of the reality of Montréal is hiding the contribution of the easy-going French québécois on the quality of the city.

The use of the word anglosplaining is one of the things that scares me about my move to Montreal in 2 weeks.

@claudelalonde1732 9 месяцев назад

Anglosplaining is used when anglos criticize our language laws and tell us how we should protect French. Don't get involved in this, and you are welcome. How about learning some French? @@brooksybaby03

@antonboludo8886 2 месяца назад

I know people who were born in Montreal and only know a few words of French, like tourists in their own city. Very comical. The Québécois hillbilly French is also funny, but tiresome after a while.

@claudelalonde1732 2 месяца назад

@@antonboludo8886 French is my mother tongue, as many québécois, and I never been tired speaking it. 2nd language can be tiresome of course.

Le français est ma langue maternelle aussi. En fait je parlais "joual". Là là. Je suis né à Montréal. Mon père était Allemand et ma mère Québécoise de souche. Entre eux ils se servaient de l'anglais. Ma mère avait appris l'anglais américain et mon père l'anglais britannique. Des fois il y avait des graves malentendus. Je ne pouvais pas parler avec mon père avant l'âge de 5 ans car je ne parlais pas encore l'anglais et lui n'avait jamais fait l'effort d'apprendre le français. J'ai fait le Baccaleuréat Français à Montréal, alors j'ai laissé tomber le français du Québec. @@claudelalonde1732

Nice video, Josh, well balanced and objective. One point though: Greater Montreal’s 4.4M population is spread not just on the island (2M people) but on Laval Island, the North and South Shores. Which is one of its challenges: it’s so spread out that it stretches its capacity to service the population adequately (particularly its outer suburbs): fine public transportation system on the island, haphazard and unpredictable elsewhere. Still, I wouldn’t be anywhere else. I was downtown today with my son for a movie and we spent an hour after the show strolling down Ste-Catherine street for the sheer fun of it: vibrant, diverse, well-behaved, and alive with action (and so many eating places to chose from!).

Great video! I've been looking for these kinds of content 'cause I'm thinking about relocating to Montreal lol I live in Vancouver, and sure the rent is crazy high, but Quebec has waaaay higher income tax and sales tax compared to British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta... so that's the major con for me right now lol But still, I think Montreal has more to offer than Vancouver, FOR ME, based on my likes/personality/hobbies (I don't like hike/camping/lake life, so there is that).

Being able to speak French will definitely help you, however there are jobs for English speakers. You can also work for companies online that offer employment in English. Good luck and let me know if you need help buying or renting if you come to Montreal!

NOTHING MAKES ME CRINGE MORE THAN DRIVING ON THE "20" AND TRAFFIC BLOCKS A PARAMEDIC UNIT OR FIRETRUCK!!! ONE MORE CON YOU MENTIONED.

@Alternity666 10 месяцев назад

You keep talking about driving, but driving in Montréal is probably one of the worst ideas ever. People, just don't drive in Montréal.

@alphat4551 8 месяцев назад

People just don't drive in Montreal? Enough of them do that you can't find any parking on the streets, traffic jams everywhere, construction cones and every other street closed. If everyone is using public transportation, then all those cars with Quebec plates must be from out of town!

@Alternity666 8 месяцев назад

@@alphat4551 I am talking about the majority. There is some situtation where it is ideal to drive, but in most cases, it's only people missing neural connections. Also, re-read my text with the punctuation correctly. I am telling people to not drive, not saying that people don't drive. Anyone with a low level education knows how punctuation works.

Typical boosterism from a real-estate agent:- anglo people think Montreal is "multicultural" because they hear a lot of French spoken there and assume it's "multicultural" because they cannot speak French. However francophones don't think it's multicultural and try to discourage expressions of multiculturalism as non-Quebecois residents will soon learn.:- if you're not "laine pure" you are not welcome in Montreal. If you want the most multicultural place in the world try Toronto but you will soon learn that having is not the same as wanting and that wild out-of-control multiculturalism can be very unpleasant indeed:- hearing "Give me your money or I will kill you!" is quite unpleasant no matter in what language it's spoken. If you are sufficiently wealthy to insulate yourself from all the insults of snarky Quebecois then Montreal might be ok for awhile and especially if you have no children and can stay footloose and ready to move but Montreal is not really a long-term residential option for non-Quebecois.
