Actually, yes, there is a rivalry between Quebec City and Montreal. More accurately, it's a rivalry between the rest of the province and Montreal. The Metropolis is represented for its power, money, media, progressive attitudes, cosmopolitanism and, above all, its multilingualism and multiculturalism.
Most Montrealers wouldn't really consider it a rivalry, but the city is increasingly resented in what is called the "regions." In fact, the La Presse newspaper did a four-page special on the cleavage between Montreal and the ROQ just today.
