Waist of time, nothing to see here except Citadel Hill, MK airline memorial, and swissair 111 memorial, oh yeah public gradens. Thats about it, The flight here is nice on any approach, but like I said, dont waist your time.
BTW, Montreal Is a nice city, you could drive out to Mirabel, and the apprach on any runway in foggy or over cast weather is sweet.
How about trying Calgary or Winnipeg, the latter nicknamed WinterPeg ?
Downtown Montreal has something both pro and cons, half of the city is at underground level.

Have you been to Winnipeg? Downtown is crime heaven. No thanks. I was scared to death just walking four or five blocks at night the last time I was there.
Come to Canada...Eh! Ya, I'm not to sure about Montreal, but Quebec City is AMAZING! I've been there twice and can't get enough. But I bet Montreal is really nice...a french version of Toronto!
When I was in montreal it was blurry, the sidewalks kept moving back and forth under my feet and all the chicks looked hotter than usual. Evidence:
while she's not ugly, she's not as hot as I remember her
Lemme see... you post something about your school's drinking records, then proceed to say "she's not as hot as I remember her" ... do you actually remember her?
Come to Montreal!!! It's definitely worth a visit. Stroll along St-Catherine St., the underground malls. Old Montreal is nice, though not much to do at this time of the year (mostly summer outdoor cafes etc.), but still a nice change from the typical bland North American metropolis. Also the casino, clubs, bars (St-Denis St. and Prince-Arthur, though I'm not sure what's it like in winter). If you're looking for a white winter, then it's been snowing heavy all day today....you can also go skiing up north to the Laurentians (St-Sauveur region is nice).
Like others have said, Quebec City is also worthwhile.
In case you've wondered, no worries about understanding French, since most Montrealers these days are perfectly bilingual.
Calgary is GREAT at Calgary Stampede time!! The city turns into one big party during that time!!
I wouldn't consider Calgary to be boring, but then my opinion is biased since I used to live there and loved being there!!
Despire my best efforts, I've never managed to make work trips ouit that way work out when the Stampede is on. I've missed the last three, maybe this year!
It's a nice city, but doesn't seem to have alot of action. Whats with all the stores closing at 6pm!? That's odd
Atleast the ones around The Sandman Downtown (where I usually stay).
Bass Bros in Kensington make the best Halibut I've ever had though
