Quality of Life in Montreal, Canada

@Anonymous All major cities in Canada are expensive. It's well documented from new immigrants who recently settled there. The cities who aren't expensive are those that aren't welcoming to immigrants and minorities or seriously lack services & amenities.

I lived here all my life, it's a nice city to live in if you like winter and four seasons. Lots of entertainment, people from many ethnicities, food variety is easy to find. The city has nice burroughs that each have their personality, and the downtown doesn't hollow out at night and weekends like many other north-american cities. I do agree that taxes are hight and healthcare is difficult, finding doctors is very hard, and the winter can really feel like it's taking forever to leave! However the pace of life in general is pleasant and the people are nice so in my opinion it compares very well to other cities of its size.

Very very bad,backward health care system
Hard to believe this is a country in North America!
