It's ironic because if you visit Montréal in the summer everyone is outside.

Also, if a French Canadian take you to lunch, expect to eat for 1+ hour. No such thing as a quick lunch.

I think the idea of the underground city is that it's nice in the winter.

I lived in Chicago which has something similar, and never went down there except to take the train. It's all chain stores that have "upstairs" versions as well. Good if you're walking around outside and you notice there's a tornado heading your way, though.
