Montréal Like a Local: North America’s Best City
Video Overview & Insights
Montréal is the biggest French speaking city in North America and is one of my personal favourite cities in the world. As a French Canadian, I’ve been to Montreal more times than I can count, and each time, I’ve found that there’s even more to see, more to experience, more restaurants to try. The culinary scene is simply breathtaking and the vintage shopping scene is unmatched.
Thank you for this vlog, this was quite the learning experience!
It’s one of the most European city in North America (there’s a reason so many TV shows are filmed here!) and is a must-see if you’re looking to book your next weekend getaway. In this travel guide we'll visit tourist attractions like Rue Saint-Paul, Vieux-Montréal, and the Parc Mont-Royal, as well as more local locations like the plateau Mont-Royal, Little Italy, and Mile End neighbourhoods.
📚 Video chapters:
One of the best cities as a tourist in the months of May to October. Goodluck in the winter months. Not the best city to live in -> horrible weather half the year, horrible traffic becuase of endless road closures, insane taxes, polarizing political leadership and and significant barriers of entry for new businesses and retail establishments.

What does this have to do with the fact that Canadians export 70 of their economy to the USA and then bad mouth us. What does this have to do with both the female and male Olympic USA hockey teams beat team Canada at its own game, the Dodgers beat the BLue Jays and Trump did a big beat down on Carne. And the leftists in Canada were unable to run on its horrible record and had to turn to bad mouthing my president and country to win elections. At least our News networks are not government own. I can get a procedure to keep me from dying in the USA, I cant read the bible out loud in a service and not be arrested, we are not sending the Canadian secret police to confiscate guns

@markscott4830Love Montreal, love sushi Momo!
@ludmilaandr8793Montreal might be one of my most favorite places on the continent, but it's a shame they became conservative. I know it's going to drastically offend people, but I'll just be blunt. I visited Monreal in the early 2010s, for only a summer, it was like a dream, it felt almost like some kind of a liberal paradise. I never experienced a place like that before. I vowed to return one day and when I did a few years ago, I was severely disappointed. I was trying to get away from the rest of the country because Quebec has a separatist following, but Montreal wasn't actually much different from the rest of the country. It's pretty weird but apparently the majority of the country is "conservative" now at this point. I think it's still mostly just basically neo-liberal policies, but the only difference is I guess everyone is just really selfish and greedy and wants to keep all their money for themselves. But it's all toryism across the country, which is just like old english old money, which is weird montreal became conservative because they have a different heritage. I wish I could go more into detail about my experiences, but I won't bother. But in Montreal during the warmer months, it was a lot different, and kind of belligerent and hostile, but during the dead of winter things were a lot more quiet and almost dead, but it wasn't as hostile at least, I don't think there was as many tourists and foreigners during that time. But I remember I was just out walking to somewhere and this car stopped and started taking photographs of me on the street, it was really disturbing. Fucked up shit like that would happen all the time.
@Blackdynamite666Mexico city is better
@Mateo88xxWell done! Even though I don't live there anymore but MTL will always be my #1.
I've been living here in Alberta for 15 years now and it never really grew on me except my pocket 😅😅
It's a shame that Montreal is in Quebec.
@amirh4733My home city! Born and raised there, left in 1994. Everytime I go back, I feel like a tourist in my own city😄My grandparents are buried at Mount Royal Cemetery
@tzipporah7635Toronto is better
@StarLakeFarm👏👏❤❤

@robelanger4242I didn’t know that Montreal was a big city on an island in the St. Lawrence River
@ianlyons7689Look forward to more Montreal videos; keep up the great work 👍
@abundancepositivemany things in montreal is bad. Housing and infrastracture are in poor shape, tax are heavy, and everytime I went their I receive attitude and subtle discriminative attitude from people working in service industry as an Asian. People their are stucked in 50 years ago.
@quarringtonz231You are french Canadian with this accent? Dam that impressive! Where you learn english?
@SeadowDont bother to come here square heads
@MrFrouzziStop treating North America as a country Canada is distinct from USA I think America has the best city in their two so stop treating it like a country.
@LiamBacchus-z6fThe best park is where the statues of MacDonald and Laurier are looking at each other. Very Canadian and very Montreal!
@barneybowler4695It's very underrated, better than paris
@churros77-g4cMary Queen of the World is a Half scale replica of Saint Peters Basilica in Vatican city.
@St.Joseph-Pillar-of-FamiliesWhat about museums
@TheRichb688Y'a le côté de la ville,comment c'est mais y'a le côté de la vie.
Sans parler de toutes les loies qu'il y a et beaucoup plus,quand tu passes devant ou rentres dans un magasin,hotel,entreprise etc... t'es censé être et te sentir libre comme dans la rue.

I was just there over the holidays. I loved the cathedral.
@PallettownIt's a great city that has managed to retain its character despite separatist politics, the current wokeness trend and all of the virtue signaling islamist protests plaguing the downtown centre every weekend in recent years.
@newtonsurmiser2319Trouvé un logement, à Montréal, est un défi. En trouvé un qu'on peux se permettre est l'autre défi. Les hôtel durant ce temps voit leur prospérité, environ 175$ une nuit au BestWestern sur Berri. Une petite place. lol. Après je vois une annonce publicitaire à la Télévision, 350$ pour une nuit. Finalement je l'ai dit "j'espère" qu'ils vont les aimer. Quelqu'un de réaliste quoi. Où sont nos beds and breakfasts, ont pourrait trouvé, des idées ? Aucun sens.
@NinonVermetteonly things worth seeing is the biodome and botanical gardens. in general montreal is trash
@redrumpotsDo you really speak mostly French out there or this is just for show?
@MyApps-uf1dzWhere are good non vegan sushi places to eat in Montreal?
@seanlaporte6496It's so nice. People don't realize.
@FunkyChild718If you think Montreal is the best city in North America, you haven't been to enough cities in North America.
