I suspect you are basing that on personal experience.

It was more along the lines of Gatineau being a better place to live and build a life than a truly pretty place (although there are a number of reasonably nice built-up areas and the natural setting is quite attractive).
Not at all. In Markham it is common for "anglos" to comment that the best way to make a (member of a prominent ethnicity) blind is to put a windshield in front of his or her face! Like I said,

I've often wondered why ALL of the Canadians who pay attention to Eurovision have congregated on this forum for some reason...
I suspect it has to do with a profound appreciation of the intersection of fabulous and kitsch!
