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.
Perhaps I shouldn't have made that comment. I was born in Montreal and have lived there a lot as well. It's been a long time since I read the book so I may not be remembering it accurately. My recollection was not that she was harsh, but rather quite the opposite, characterizing the city its culture and politics a little too cutesy.
