Yes, I'm talking about modern day connections to Europe and European culture.
Montreal does have a lot of people with European cultural connections besides English and French.
Montreal is the most trilingual city in Canada, where many people speak an immigrant language besides the two official ones. Some of these are European languages like Italian, Spanish (though much of it is from Latin America), or Russian, in addition to the presence of non-European ones like Arabic or Chinese languages.

And it does have a lot of people still born in Europe.
254,860 people born in Europe, out of 936,305 immigrants, in a census metro area of 4 million, according to the last Canadian census.
