I mean.. I'm a Montrealer as well, and whilst I love this city, let's not kid ourselves. Montreal is not by any means 80% English and you're essentially handicapped if you can't speak French.

You just need to take a stroll in "Plateau" to witness this. The salaries are also really low and we are the highest taxed province in Canada.

I think we should give folks an accurate portrayal of this city instead of an endless stream self promotion

You know what? You’re right.

I think the stat was for the island of Montreal, not the wider city.

That said, I have visited a few times and not speaking French didn’t seem a huge barrier, but I was a tourist.
