went on holidays to Toronto & Montreal last year. Toronto is great, just a great city with convenient services, nice things to see and no bullshit. Took the train from T. to Montreal where I mostly slept in the lawns of that fancy university there (the name escapes me). It struck me that there's a helluva lot of homeless bums in Montreal & I was waaay too lazy to actually see tourist stuff - i didn't give it the proper attention it deserved. but yeah, canada is great. lay off the timmy hortons.
All about the Montreal. Toronto was far more standard a city, starbucks literally every second corner etc. Though Queen St (?) has a few amazing record shops and the like. Montreal has La Sala Rosa venue and generally speaking had a much better vibe I though than TO. Also, though the homeless problem was way out of control in TO as opposed to MTL. Though I don't recall MTL having deadly record shops ...? (Not that thats necessarily a priority for you.). If its work your after, all the Canadians are heading to Calgary where, so the saying goes, you get paid $19 just to pour coffee (in Tim H's. Which was deadly).
