Ahem, it's _Sir_ Sherbrooke in fact
As I just learned from my own link.....
Montreal Street in Sherbrooke is also a reasonably major/strategic artery (it's one of only three axis that lead to a bridge over the St. Francis). And back in the day, IIRC I'm pretty sure King Street (Sherbrooke's #1 way) was called Montreal Road as soon as you exited downtown, going west. Which at the time would have made Montreal in Sherbrooke even more important than Sherbrooke in Montreal.
