Right. But, at the same time, it's ridiculous when people say that Montreal is the most "European city" in North America. It's the flipside of your argument: that a lot of Quebec
is run-of-the-mill Canada/USA, only in French, and people associate the use of the French language as somehow European.
They even made fun of this on
Master of None: "I went to Montreal not too long ago. Have you been there? It feels like you're in Europe!"
