Oh, I like your signature, showcasing the Toronto meet-up!
I hope you can justify making a "trip" to Toronto (Ontario). We are very multicultural and embrace diversity. Oh, and also, most times, we are just too damn polite ...
I've had the chance to visit Quebec a few times; for work and pleasure.
As an accounting student, on a work-term, I had to fly from Toronto to Montreal before 9:00 am to verify some financial records held at CDS (Canadian Depository of Securities) and was (unfortunately) forced to fly back after 6:00 pm the same day. I did make it back, on summer vacation though, to visit the Olympic Stadium (before it deteriorated
). Other times when visiting Ottawa, we've made a mad dash for the Casinos in Hull (this was before Ontario got them too, Casinos, that is
).
I (with wife and kids) drove to Mont Tremblant a few years ago and it was almost surreal to drive from Ontario into Quebec and see the culture (and language) change so drastically. I've been exposed to some European flair, with my Italian heritage, so I was at least familiar with the customs. Unfortunately, since I didn't learn any more than grammar school French, I felt less than functional when outside the Montreal area.
I guess I can visit, but
ex-nay on the
stay-ay!
