I should also mention that if you think $750/month per child is too expensive, perhaps you should re-evaluate how much you earn.

If you earn less than paying $750/month per child, then stay at home and take care of them. If not, then……………………………………………

The perk of what? childcare here? I doubt it.

I am not staying here in Quebec or in Canada for that matter.

I’d rather pay $750/month per child than live here among this kind of culture.

It’s highly stressful in ways I can’t describe, unless you have physically lived here and dealt with it.

Maternity leave is the same across the country because of EI being a federal run program… it's the childcare that is the absolute best in the country- bar none in comparison to others. When the time comes for you to add to your brew FB you'll enjoy the perk while we pay about $750 a month per child.

The crazy driving makes me nervous.

I haven't encountered crazy staring yet.

I think they'd rather I not stare back

I agree with you one thousand percent! And so many of the commonalities between Montreal and Paris are spot on (the smoking, the biking, crazy driving). I actually found people in Paris less rude than in Montreal. And people in both cities have staring problems. I love visiting both places but could live in neither

Oh it is DEFINITELY safe in Quebec. Just don't go into the shady areas, but in general most of Canada is pretty safe.

You know what, I think the rivalry between the Quebecois and the French will never end Just like how the French say the rivalry between them and the Italians will never end, or between them and the English…

Hmm.. common denominator? THE FRENCH! Hahaha!

I've only been to Quebec once on a ski trip my freshman year of college, but I was definitely able to experience some of the things you mentioned. For one, it is so safe there – walking around at 2am was not a big deal at all! I also ended up at this bar where I met a Quebec student, and our entire conversation was based around how much he hated French people – how they act, how they speak, how they think they're sooo much better than the Quebecois.

I will say, the skiing is amazing, I can't wait to go back, no matter how bad the traffic/ driving is!
