Montreal is great. I recommend it. Yeah it's a bit cold but it's dry so not damp cold. Would you rather be a bit cold or working like a dog for some US company where your healthcare could vanish overnight because your boss was in a bad mood?


Montreal is great in some ways. In other ways you run into the regular overt hatred of non francophones.

Thats the kind of mean spirited people that work in the "civil service".

Anyone who denies it, hasn't lived in Montreal long enough and needs to get out to Sherbrooke or Drummonville a little more often to see that natives in their full hatred.

The job market is getting quite tight in Alberta, though Calgary's tech industry seems slightly less oil-centric, and is accordingly better insulated.
