The City Of Mary

So I was involved in a conversation with the well-traveled Canadian, both of us going on about the various places in North America that we mutually had had the opportunity to visit. His choice for the most spectacular natural wonder was Sequoia National Park, mine was the Grand Canyon. 

In our individual top tens, there was a lot of common ground - the front range of the Rockies here in Colorado, The Nova Scotia/Maine coast, Wrangell/St. Elias, Niagara Falls & the Great Lakes.

And Montreal, but we both had the same caveat about Montreal. It was the city we liked, the architecture - not the people. The city was spectacular, the people, eh, not so much.

Of course, we both stated that it wasn't all the people of Montreal that were, uhm, difficult, just a few. Unfortunately, we both seemed to have run into the same few difficult residents of the city of Mary.

Amazing how just a handful of people can taint the reputation of a city of almost two million, eh?
