I've been living in central Montreal for a few years in the southern part of the Plateau, although I am not raising a family. It seems pretty appealing. It is much more walkable than US cities, the center is still alive and suffered no white flight. The hill park is very pleasant, and it is positively endearing how the home owners take so much care to keep their homes tidy and dainty. There are all those 'green paths' everywhere in-between houses, for example. There are also white children playing in the children's playgrounds and at schools, as opposed to the usual situation where 80% of the children are of color.

It's not even as far-left as it seems. It has more of the affluent green leftism than the unhinged BLM leftism. It can still be pretty annoying, of course - say, they have anti-whyte propaganda posters everywhere. But it's not all gloom and doom. Say, shortly before covid, I was sitting in a local cafe and an elderly Juif man was explaining Q favorably to the barista. Generally, the areas with the Juifs are sweet.

The French supremacist thing is good even though my French is awful and it is unfair to ruin the English heritage of Montreal. It helps prevent Quebec from following the same depressing population replacement scheme as the rest of Canada. In fact, it has more of an Eastern Euro scheme going on where there's a clear and unambiguous provincial center and everyone is moving into it, but rarely to other provinces. This helps it remain a functional city, unlike US equivalents.
