The hotel was right above the train station and that's where we went: We went
to the hotel.

re 8 I've never heard of a Canadian French Dialect. I have heard of a French
Canadian accent.

Montreal's a nice town. I had lunch there the day the power came back
on. Things were a little confused.

Uh, I doubt things would've been confused, because Montreal's on a SEPERATE
POWER GRID, but still Montreal rocks

Are you sure? I thought Montreal was affected by the outage. At least
the comments made by the waitress at the first cafe I went to seemed to
suggest it.

Yes, I'm sure. Quebec's got its own power grid.

They don't trust power generated by English-speaking people.

(A good while back, I heard that Quebec had a really nice source of
hydro-electric power in its northern reaches. I heard of it when
transmission lines were being built to import that electricity into
New England. Personally, I'd guessed that the failure of those lines
caused the blackout in August.)
Still, I'd take the word of a waitress in the town over the word of dah.

Or you could do research and realise how I'm right.

If they have good hydro-power sources, they may not be tied into the grid
for the same reasion northwestern states are reluctant to join the eastern
part of the U.S. grid -- they're enjoying very cheap power that would get
more expensive if people from other regions could also buy it.
