Montreal
About Montreal
Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, the second-largest in Canada, and the eighth-largest in North America. Founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", it now takes its name from Mount Royal, the triple-peaked mountain around which the early settlement was built. The city is centred on the Island of Montreal and a few, much smaller, peripheral islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard. It lies 196 kilometres (122 mi) east of the national capital, Ottawa, and 258 kilometres (160 mi) southwest of the provincial capital, Quebec City.

This method he invented, your brain is exposed while being operated on but you are awake, is called — I just love this — the Montreal procedure. It sounds very spy-filmy, doesn't it? Like the Ottawa protocols.

Other times Montreal came up
The first one they built, they tested, they loaded it with a ton of stuff, and then it got towed behind another plane, because that's how you get a glider somewhere. It got towed three and a half thousand miles from Montreal to Britain in one day, and this was just the test flight to see if the gliders worked. It contained vaccines for Russia, military equipment for the free French, parts for some bomber planes, and a bunch of bananas for the pilots family in London.

His beer only has 5.5% of the market in Greece at the moment, and it's called vagina beer. I just keep thinking, is this interview going to mention at any point the fact that perhaps a bit of rebranding might work? Another one that's a favorite of mine, there was a sushi bar in Montreal. they got forced to change its name by a judge, a high court judge, because, so the name that they gave it was fuck yo sushi. F-U-K-Y-O-Sushi.

They declared war saying the only way they wouldn't actually go to war with Belgium was if Belgium handed over a case of muscles and a case of Belgium beer to the rhinoceros. Delivered to the rhinoceros' hind quarters, as they said. The Belgian ambassador to Canada actually made an announcement saying, I will hand this over. I don't want to create an international crisis. They turned up in Montreal, and they all met. They had a really great day eating muscles and drinking beer. You know, war was averted. Wow.
