I hope they never have to capitalize on that. When I went to Montreal last year, it was bustling already with the locals. It had its own vibe and felt undisturbed. I felt that I was disturbing the flow of the city by not knowing enough French to get by. It reminded me of Brooklyn and parts of NYC off the radar of tourists, the parts with an actual vibe that is inherent to the place. Don't know how to best describe it, but I have an idea of it.
