Great skyline shots, you actually found a smiling Montreal bus driver (the biggest collection of assholes in North America) a couple of days ago one of those winners refused to open the door of his bus when I knocked about 10 feet from the stop ...I swear I was about to get on a cab and chase after that smug motherfucker and beat the crap out of him.....sorry for the rant living in this bloody city will do it for you

Is Montreal that stressful? Or just the normal big city stresses? I was talking to a guy in a sandwich shop. Told him I lived in Ottawa, he said Montreal was too stressful and he'd rather live in Ottawa. I said I'd rather live in Montreal.

Interestingly, I found the east part of Montreal almost identical to the east part of Hamilton. Very similar in look and feel.

Then next time, don't knock. Bus drivers hate that, regardless of the city, and it's a good way to ensure they'll ignore you.

Great shots, flar! (This should really be like an automated phrase on this board) I, too, would love to see your take on some Montreal neighborhoods.
