a pretty darn good comedy festival,

many other festivals

despite losing the Expos, we do have a a good sports community.

And more!

I've traveled Canada. Its a great country. Quebec is not the most boring. Thats a rediculous statement.

So basically Montreal has a vibrant night life (unlike other major cities, apparently), a "european culture" (does this mean uncivilized, like the European culture discussed in this thread?), a lively minority community (not like other major cities!), a big music festival (which one is this, I've never heard of it), a sports community consisting of the Habs (which SUCK), and Just For Laughs.

The people of Canada are more free than the people of America. "Sovereign republic" is a joke when the people are oppressed and kept in a state of fear and anxiety over the next pending "terrist attack".

Some people just aren't smart enough to realize that, apparently.

The lazy sad reply of a lowly subject. What else was to be expected?

Have some guts, lowly serf, and finally rise up and proclaim your independence. Or are Canucks that lazy?

I agree-- I can't see where Asher gets off calling Quebec boring . . . heck the women are the hottes . . . .errr nevermind

I agree that that relic has to go, and Canada needs to remove all ties to the monarchy

Why? It's not like she vetoes bills anyways.

Yes, Canadians (particularly Ontarians and British Columbians) are lazy people.

I've been advocating removal from the UK monarchy for a long time.

So why not make me the head of state, if we're going to let anyone.

Hell, I'm more qualified than the incest UK royal family.

Montreal Jazz Fest is the largest annual musical festival in North America.

We have the Habs (which were the last Canadian team to win the cup ), as well as the most succesful CFL team in recent years, and the championship winning Impact.

And yeah, alot of qualities Montreal has can be said about many major cities, but fact of the matter is that not all provinces can lay claim to them.

and the GG frees the PM from some of the ceremonial crap that comes with being the rep of the head of state etc etc but I still favor getting rid of the monarchy . . . it just seems a huge waste of money to me.

The Jazz Fest would be interesting if everyone liked Jazz.

And the Habs sucked last year, pay attention. Didn't you see their playoff runs? Clearly if you were a hockey fan, Calgary was the place to be last year.

Replace the GG with a President.

Habs got farther than the Canucks and Oilers and Senators

Oh, and now its pretty obvious you havent been to the Jazz Fest.

Its a Jazz Fest by name. It has absolutely every kind of music you can imagine. Hundreds of concerts with millions of people in attendance.

Think a Live8 concert every year.

*edit* forgot the Leafs got past the first round too

Depends-- do you require drive-by shootings and the constant threat of a mugging for a place to be exciting?

Sorry -- just trying to get in a New York state of mind

Oh, the sad old stereotypes. But who needs even more tourists?

If the thread of crime is the price I must pay for the greatest City in the world, then so be it.

Yes, the Leafs, Canucks, Oilers, and Senators all suck -- I'm FULLY in agreement with you on this.

Flames > Habs, though.

Looking at the Jazz Fest schedule, the biggest names I can see are Patty Labelle and Jacksoul...

Not quite Live 8...

[Ninot]

meh, i meant more in terms of grandeur than who we have here.

But any one of the bands at the Jazz Fest can put on a great show. Not all the Live8 bands were really fun to watch anyways.
