                <description><![CDATA[Don't go to Montreal. Go to another city with happy, friendly people who speak English and with whom you will have a good vacation. The majority of Quebecois do not like English or Anglophones. They have language police who enforce French as the primary language for shop signs or any signs. The laughable thing is that they speak french execrably! Their pronuncation will make you squirm. They have spent the last 40 years trying to break away from Canada and they are still trying. They were beaten on the Plains of Quebec in the 18th century and have not gotten over it yet! Their car licence plates say "Je me souviens"! <br><br>They will not let you speak French to them - not even to order from a French menu! Their weather is the worst. You get your balls frozen off in the winter and bitten off in the summer (by bugs which crawl up your long trouser legs). I have never felt so blah about any city as I did in Montreal. It did nothing whatsoever for me. What a bunch of sore losers. Don't waste your hard earned money or precious vacation time.]]></description>
