Am I being aggressive? I guess I just find the incessant myopia on this board annoying sometimes.

Yes, I can certainly understand that many Germans would probably find Vancouver more appealing than Montreal for the reasons you mention. And while Toronto is my absolute favourite city in Canada, I'm under no illusions as to its beauty. It has tons of charm, and is visually appealing in lots of ways, but it's not beautiful per se.

Here's how beauty is defined: The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or colour, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality.

What streets fulfill this definition? I can think of several in Montreal and Quebec City. I can think of none anywhere else that fulfill each aspect of the definition, particularly the part about artistry.
