zoney! said:I really like Montreal.
It is a city made up of neighborhoods....the type of city you can explore for years...and not get tired of it. And feels very international...despite being in North America.

Last time I was there, I was THIS close (THIS CLOSE) to putting my hands around the throat of this older woman from the NYC area. I was going to squeeze until her wig popped off. She was being rude.
Yeah...tour buses and Amtrak trains. Straight from NYC.
But otherwise, its quite the charming place (Montreal...not the greater NYC area)

Zoomerang96 said:montreal promotes leftist evils, such as europeanism, and the like. i highly doubt you'd like it, melon, and i'd recommend you look at moving to alabama - err, i mean alberta instead.
anitram said:ETA: I know a guy who went to Montreal on an internship which sounds somewhat similar to what you're interested in. He had a degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson University (it's the polytechnic university in Toronto) and got an internship at the French CBC. He was also offered a position at the French version of MuchMusic, but said that when he visited there, he found it to be way too hectic and disorganized. Overall, he felt that bilingualism is a huge, huge, huge asset, certainly without which he would have gotten neither offer. But he came back to Toronto when his contract expired anyway.
The good thing about Montreal is just about anyone who is a native French speaker will know at least some English, due to the big anglo population, and all the tourism.melon said:
Very interesting. I have a few friends/acquaintances who graduated from Ryerson, so I'm aware of its reputation within Canada for media.
I have 4.5 years of French under my belt, although now I'm a bit rusty. I can generally understand Radio-Canada if I have the closed captioning on, but if I have it off, I get overwhelmed very quickly...lol. I wish there was a way to get better in French conversation from where I'm at.
