All the Shrimp with Lobster saucee I have ever tried in Toronto is a black sauce. It's all been quite yummy. Note though, it is my understanding that there is not a single spec of Lobster in the sauce. Often it's Pork, or other. To me, what is required for excellent Shrimp with Lobster...

Thanks Guys. I ended up just crashing due to exhaustion. (Long day when you have to get up at 4 in the morning, work, travel, and got into the hotel at midnight, only to fly out again the next day. I made note of your recommendations for next time though. To me, late night "good eats" are...

Will be arriving in montreal late this evening - round 11 pm and will need something to eat downtown. I have no idea what is open and what is good. (Staying in the Queen Elizabeth hotel) If you were coming to Toronto, it would be an easy recommendation - Swatow in Chinatown. Need...

Well, I sure am laughing at your story. Sorry bro, but it was funny.

Never heard Ottawa refered to as OT. Maybe because I was reading it as Ott, as opposed to Oh-Tee. I've heard Toronto refered to a million times as T.O. or Tee Oh, but never Ottawa as Oh-Tee. The Hammer = Hamilton OT = Ottawa T.O. = Toronto (or lots call it YYZ) What do they call...

Where is OT?

^^^ I have no problem with people learning to speak French. J'etudie francais en ecole et je travail pour une compagnie qui est situate au Quebec. But here's the funny thing. 1. Do you think that everyone who lives in Toronto speaks English? Not in a million years. Just walk around a costco...

One last hypothetical question for you. Where do you think Quebec would be today if France had chosen to keep New France (instead of Guadeloupe) back in 1763? Answer It would be a state (or states) in the United States of America because the French would have SOLD Quebec to the United States...

Oh my. Bringing up the Nazis. Do you even know the history of your own province? You do realize that "New France" was never a country - it was a French Colony right? You do know that France gave Quebec (or New France) to the British after Britain (and parts of present day Germany) defeated...

Oh my.... Quebec would drown in debt. It would be more than 100% of GDP. An independent Quebec would have a bond rating of "junk" as opposed to AA stable which it currently enjoys. The elimination of billions in equalization payments, let alone billions in payments that flood into Quebec in...

I would expect that Montreal and Rupert's Land would vote to remain part of Canada actually. Business as usual.

Just saw this on the CBC's website: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/quebecvotes2012/story/2012/08/21/parti-quebecois-non-french-speakers.html Apparently Marois would ban anyone who cannot speak French from holding public office in Quebec. And I thought the Republicans in the bible belt in the...

There are 2 issues that Separatists in Quebec never seem to have an answer for: 1. What Currency would an independent Quebec use? 2. What about partition? WRT currency - If Quebec wanted to use the Canadian dollar, (I'm not sure how that would happen, but let's dream and say yes) an...

Toronto is NOT Houston. Not even close. Toronto is THEE most multicultural city in the world. Until you've live here, you cannot appreciate that. Next time you are here, take a walk around Costco in the west end, or St. Lawrence Market on a Saturday morning. Bring your universal...

I agree. Here in Ontario, most of my friends with kids send their kids to French immersion (which is basically French School from kindergarten on up to Grade 12) The government can't come up with enough spots to serve the demand. I think this is great news. I have a young woman...

Respectfully.... Do you ever wonder what would happen to the French Language if Quebec did separate? My personal opinion is that it woud suffer. The Americans don't speak French. The rest of Canada is officially bilingual, but that would change very quickly and very dramatically as the...

My point was and is that Toronto is a welcoming city. We don't care what language you speak, all we care about is that you have some talent to bring to the party and you pay your taxes. We certainly do not get all wound up about language laws and repressive laws in the name of "protecting"...

Well, the fact of the matter my friend is that until 1976 Montreal was the biggest and baddest city in Canada. It's population was almost 2 million while Toronto's was about 1.5 million. Now Toronto is 2.7 million and Montreal is 1.8 million. (Almost back to where you were 35 years ago.)...

Quite correct. As a guy who lives in Toronto, but works for a company based in Quebec for the last 12 years, I'm in Montreal and the rest of the province at least half of the year. As such, I have a unique opportunity to observe the politics and culture first hand. I have often joked (but...
