Well i was there too and thought that is was incredible. I am happy that 
i didn't miss it! I had this huge smile on my face all day. The metro was 
packed. People had to squeez to get in.. I stepped on someones foot 
accidentaly and when i said that i was sorry the woman responded to me 
"Forget it! Today it is no big deal! ". Canadian flags were everywhere 
and it was a pleasure to talk to some of the people that came down from 
Toronto and Ottawa.(I didn't have the chance to talk to that many people)
Anyways.. the day was great and i am still smiling when i think about it!

A montrealer!!!!

A dog approached a mother cat with her kittens. The cat barked several 
times, and the dog ran away. Turning to her kittens, the cat said, "Now 
do you see how important it is to know a second language?"
