Of course, there is no "problem". My only comment was when we are talking about Montreal being an Island Life, what we are really talking about is a few river crossings and some neighbourhoods having a pretentious flair. It isn't as far removed from a place like Calgary as is implied in the "Island Life" thread moniker.
That said, some incidental stats about Montreal Island's fresh water + river status are interesting, in that it is technically an interesting island setting.
