What is/are your favourite Canadian city(ies)?
My favourite, well next to my home town of Ottawa which I won't include here because well, I want to talk about somewhere else eh, is Montréal. It's rich in culture and refinement; it's industrial yet old world; it's sassy yet elegant. It has a buzz all its own and nothing that compares to the sterile overgrown Toronto or the roll-up-the-sidewalk-at-6-pm style of Ottawa. It reeks of old money in some neighbourhoods and of lesser means in others and everything else in between. Nowhere else in the world can you get a 'hot dog steamé'. It's the home of the old Forum and the Habs. It's the French Canadian's gateway to modern French Canadian culture set in historic architecture and landscapes....It's...ahhhh....in a word: Montréal.
Montréal est un monde en soi.
Salut!...Aemma

). As far as favourite cities go, topping my list would be where I live, Hamilton. Not that I particularly like it; it's dirty, poverty-stricken, and immigrant-infested, but I've become accustomed to it after being here for so long. Aside from that, Burlington is a fairly nice city, being far quieter and less diverse in comparison. The Niagara Region also has some decent cities and towns which still have an old-world feel about them, and the landscape is largely unaltered. The only negative point is that most of the wineries have been purchased by Italians and Portuguese, who are presently wrecking the look of things with their ugly home architecture (concrete, fountains, statues, and wrought iron everwhere) and Catholic churches.
