      Thanks guys. These flags were flying nicely in the wind.

      The Challenge - I'm born and raised in Montreal but I'm English Canadian. I love it here living in both cultures and a city that's very multicultural.. similar to Amsterdam in that respect... which is why I probably feel so at home there too.

      Thanks Erich. Me too. I love other parts of Canada as well, we have a wonderfully diverse country. BC & PEI are probably my favorites places in Canada away from home.

      Awesome! Do they ever fly the Canadian flag?

      Peter: Humm not sure, can't say I've ever seen the Canadian flag there since the actual Olympics although up near Sherbrooke Street they sometimes put up flags of many nations.I think I've seen the maple leaf there a few times.

      I really like the respect for Québécois from Canadians. Some Canadians are sometime borned (as some Québécois are sometime), but there are also Canadians that respect this beautiful French language province. I love Quebec. Nice picture!

      jimmy.lavoie - Thanks very much. I love Quebec too after all it's my home. :-)... but it's a great place to grow up. Canadians are generally speaking very tolerant people and there's great rivalry between all the provinces but overall it's nice that we have a mix of English-French & First Nations people plus a global ethnic overlay ontop of this three nation foundation. It gives us a unique view of each other and it does garner respect for one another I think as well.

      @ Peter Ellis: Canadian flag is only flying on federal institutions (airports, bank [sometimes], Canada Post, military institutions...). On provincial fields, Quebec flag is flying. For example, there is a law that requires every school in Quebec to fly a Quebec flag on the school building and on the school field. Well, maybe because I'm Québécois, I prefer the Quebec flag, as we are really proud to fly it as Canadians are proud to fly the Canadian flag. ;) Have a nice day!
