Don't have too many more. Some random stuff:
-- While I certainly understand what causes them (weather/climate), Montreal was the most pothole-ridden city I think I've ever driven through. Winnipeg is even colder than Montreal but I don't recall
that many potholes there. I also noticed in Winnipeg that even many of the residential streets are paved in concrete, which is a good idea since concrete pavement doesn't get as many potholes. Maybe Montreal should do the same.
-- Left turns downtown. Boy this was REALLY annoying. A whole ton of streets downtown that seem they would be perfectly OK to make a left turn into, have left turns forbidden. Sometimes you have to drive, like, 5 blocks just to be able to make a left turn. Ridiculous!
-- The concourses in the airport weren't as bad as the terminal. Still, it has to be the worst airport I've been through.
Don't know if I have any other thoughts. Maybe something will pop into my head later.
I went there mostly just for a vacation and not as a scouting-Canadian-cities-to-move-to trip, but damn, it is now tempting. Before the trip I'd heard so much good things about it that I was wondering if I might end the trip thinking that way, and indeed I have.
