Having lived in Toronto rather briefly, decades back, and having visited Montreal a number of times, I find it interesting -and rather natural - how people in Eastern Canada
relate to, and identify with, New York.

I'm from here in Vancouver, and our reference points are often Seattle and San Francisco. Personally speaking, as someone with family in both Seattle, and SF, and having visited
there a number of times from early childhood on up, the geographic closeness and the imperious effect of it, makes total sense.

O Canada, forever seeking your identity elsewhere.
