I lived in Montreal for 5 years while I was a student and read Deja Dead fairly recently. I don't recall anything that specifically jumped out at me. In fact, I was rather nostalgically reminiscing while the author described various locations around the city. Montreal is a very special place and is a character in this series. One book features the Rock Machine motorcycle gang - they dominated the local news in the 90s (whenever the referendum didn't). The author's feelings about the city did not come across as negative to me, but rang true to my experience as a non-native anglophone living there.
