      It was really something during the convoy in Ottawa

      I was listening to their pronunciations of streets like Elgin and Colonel By and they were atrocious.

      Okay so technically, Montréal is about the mountain that is in the middle of the city.

      Mont-Réal (Réal meaning Royal in Catalan, actually name of the mountain being Mont-Royal) Mont = Mount Réal/Royal = Royal (found this Wikipedia article about the word which is also a name for people in Québec https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Réal_(given_name) )

        Montréal is also the name of the island

        Montréal is also the name of a city on the island

        Montréal is also the name of the CMA that surrounds the island

        Montréal is also the name of a park on the mountain of Montréal that’s in the middle of the city of Montréal that’s on the island of Montréal inside the CMA of Montréal.

        West Montréal can go fuck itself.
