You can do without French but then again if you're living there make an effort

Winter is worse than Toronto but not by much (and Ottawa winters seem worse than both, to the point a whole canal freezes)

Montreal winters are far worse than Ottawa, if only due to the laissez faire attitude taken towards infrastructure and maintenance of the city and buildings - not just government, but landlords as well.

Well, according to Wikipedia, Montreal has 226cm of snowfall per year and Ottawa has 175cm (and 3 fewer precipitation days)

Average and record low are lower in Ottawa though. Would be interesting to know about wind temps though.

Ah, well that sounds like something they've got in common with San Francisco.

Montreal winters are legendary. Toronto barely even gets snow.
