I still prefer the golf course angle, but that's a good one as well.

That picture is beautiful. (Or the stuff being photographed is beautiful)

Its almost like we have a European City in Canada.

Hey, parts of Hamilton could pass for industrial era Dublin or Glasgow.

Here's a less frequently seen angle of Calgary's skyline from near Fort Calgary.
Photo was taken by me from a new pedestrian bridge crossing the Elbow river which connects Riverwalk in EV to Inglewood.

So, I don't know why we keep saying Quebec (or MTL) is European. Is it in terms of architecture? If so, I find the old part of Montreal is not ornamented enough like European buildings, which makes sense because Canada did not have the kind of wealth to generate the kind of buildings we see in Europe that stuck around for centuries + so the style we see in Old Montreal and Old Quebec are distinctively North American.

There is only one street in Montreal that I find "European-ish," and it is this one. The other were either too simple, or were built at a time when Canada did have enough wealth to push for better looking buildings but by this time, the architectural styles have already diverged.
