This is not to say that there aren't 250,000 people in Calgary and 1 million in Toronto that I could happily have such interactions with.

Only that in Amsterdam or Lyon, the percentage of people (and therefore the likelihood of stumbling upon them) would be somewhat higher.

Add to that the bonus of not having to "explain Quebec" or francophone Canada in a (often) defensive way to fellow Canadians that usually comes up during the course of the evening with people you casually meet... and you get the picture.

At some point you just wanna have as many of your evenings as possible free of discussions about the fucking parrot that the language police allegedly wanted to have speak French and not English.

Was that a Norwegian Blue parrot?
