yes this is a very silly argument, but being new to montreal, i find most
arguments here to be a bit worse than silly.  monsieur capitaine, or
whatever his name was raised a good point earlier, about english culture
being more pragmatist and wealth-oriented, while french culture was more
"tender, poetic, and communitarian".  On the whole I have to agree and
this is why I moved to montreal from the west coast.  but i have to ask,
which french culture?  quebec or france?  montreal is as bourgeois and as
mindlessly materialistic as is say, ontario or anywhere else in canada for
that matter.  having been from coast to coast more than once i have to say
that quebec is certainly more canadian than french.  and although i though
montreal would be a good place for someone who is sick of anglo-protestant
north america, i'm beginning to reconsider.  Paris is looking better all
the time.
