FWIW I have heard rumours of similar behaviour at the Glasshouse condos here in Winnipeg. Maybe not quite as extreme as Ice, but similar Airbnb-related misbehaviour plus who knows what else. It is also a relatively nice and new tower. I can imagine that Airbnb must be a curse for people who live in condos, particularly those in central, downtown areas.

Those are canadians that you happen to disagree with.

Great view of the mighty east coast metropolis... I love that angle, and the fog just adds a certain something.

That guy who took that great wintery Montreal aerial also took some other interesting shots:

Don't know which thread to put this in. Hey, Quebeckers (or anyone, actually): what's your favourite city outside of Montreal and Quebec City in Quebec, and why?

I haven't spent much time in any of them, but I liked the looks and feel of Trois-Rivieres and Sherbrooke when I went through them.

Last year I explored Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres, Riviere-du-Loup and Shawinigan in the same month. All those cities were solidly urban, full of rowhouses and bulky downtown. Trois-Rivieres was the winner for me (even though I was rooting for Sherbrooke), for some reason it seems more compact and cohesive as a unit. Rviere-du-loup was also a pleasant surprise. Shawinigan was basically the borough of Lachine set in the middle of a giant forest and perched on a giant waterfall. But so far, I'm going with T-R.

Sherbrooke has a nicer setting then T-R though, don't you think? I like the big hills going down toward the river.

Quebec City would've looked so much better without those concrete bunker-like talls. For the taller structures, only Chateau de Frontenac and Hotel Clarendon fit this old city, IMO.
