<p>^^ Apparently you know very little about Canada. Let’s start with something easy like Toronto versus Montreal. For most of the 80’s and 90’s Quebec itself had zero population growth. Why, because incoming immigrants preferred not to settle in this province.</p>
<p>Here is a quote from a report: Montreal, Quebec’s largest city, lost nearly half a million in population. Despite generous tax subsidies for families with newborn children, the fertility rate remained abysmal, while most new immigrants shunned Quebec in favor of Anglophone Canada.</p>
<p>That said, Montreal is an okay city. Just okay. There is nothing exciting about it, except perhaps the modern dance scene and local arts scene, that aside, Toronto is a far superior city in things to do and things to see. I’ve already listed those in my previous post. I understand Americans are in awe of the French culture that the city has to offer, but to us Canadians that doesn’t make the city that exciting, or at least to some of us. Toronto is the economic and cultural engine of the country. And that won’t change… at least for a while.</p>
<p>As for the schools, Canadian schools post their acceptance rates. Students generally apply to the ones who will accept them. There are very little rejections because the students who don’t have the required GPA don’t apply. However, once you get in, staying in is a huge challenge, U of T and McGill business are rumored to drop close to half of the declared majors in sophomore year due to low GPA. ( Don’t quote me on this… as there are no published figures).</p>
<p>That said, you seem small minded and bigoted… You just made silly asinine comments about a whole country, based entirely on ignorance. You have a lot of growing up to do. And worst of all you hijacked a post and added nothing to it. Am I to assume most Americans (if you are one) are as closed minded and bigoted, based on your comments. No… I am not as small minded as that. </p>
<p>Imagine choosing a school because the girls in the city are hot. This is the weakest argument I’ve heard in ages. McGill is a great school, I am just not sure it’s what the original poster is looking for. Do some research next time…besides getting drunk and partying in Montreal.</p>
