Love Quebec City though, even if they were burning American flags there the two times I visited on Jean Baptiste day.
- hclalpha 4y agoSame people,under order of British gov, also went down south and burned the white house in 1812. True story. Not the point at all. Montréal is unique. It's the only American city with both french and english cultures living hand in hand. It's also great for novel cuisine, micro. It has 4 full seasons do you can practice almost any sports and neat mountain ranges with amazing wildlife just an hour away to the north.
- Apocryphon 4y agoBurning of Washington was done in retaliation of the Americans burning and looting York, the capital of Upper Canada. French Canadians, the Canadiens, lived in Lower Canada, whose capital was Quebec City. Probably not the same people.
