If you answer with New York, you're a basic bitch.

Montreal was a late addition.

It's not that old, I'd agree. But, of Canadian cities that I could see as among the greatest in the world, it's Canada's nearest option.

Québec is older, over 400 years. But, Montreal is more of a world city.

    Calgary is solid too, other than the fact that it's in Alberta.

    Vancouver is beautiful but in my experience it generally smells like garbage.

    Good buddy of mine spent 5 years in Calgary and has only good things to saw. The Tarsands really pushed things in that province out of joint.

    I'd like to spend some time in Van. I was in Victoria for a few days and Nanaimo for a few more. But Van and Tofino were bridges too far on that trip.

    Portland was the West Coast city that was outstanding to me. Victoria was cute. Seattle was excessive.
