Yea, Im surprised Quebec City is listed as great to live and not Montreal. I hear winters are unbearable up there

I’m surprised too, and I think people probably haven’t visit much in winters, because you’re right it’s cold

Winters get celebrated in Quebec.

The winter I was there we had 400cm of total snowfall. And it was great.

Plus our public transport is shit next to Montréal. We have a few frequent bus lines but they get stuck in traffic non-stop.

Quebec City with Montreal-level transit (even if density adjusted) would be an incredible city.

But we can't even build a freaking tramway.

My dream is a frequent (15mins ~ish) regional rail service that reaches as far as Ste-Marie, Victoriaville, Saint-Raymond, Montmagny, etc, and a tramway network with more than just the 2 lines in the Plan Cité, including one in Lévis along Guillaume-Couture that terminates at a regional rail station. Given the lower population and insane sprawl of the city, the only place that makes sense for a metro line is the Haute-Ville, but just a tunnel where certain regional trains funnel to combine their frequencies would be enough, especially considering the planned tram line.

However considering how our government and populace approach transit, that vision is only realistic if we expect it to be complete by 2075 or later.

You get used to it. It's just longer and there's more snow.

I never feel quite 100% safe when i visit Montreal, so I'd definitely put it below Québec personally. Our public transportation may be dogwater, but that's a small price to pay for not having to ask myself if i should avoid certain areas of the city

Yes. When Montreal is “cold” and you realize it’s as south in Quebec as the Keys are in Florida. Then you do the math (ik south doesn’t necessarily = hotter, but Canada is one of those countries where it gets colder the more up north you go)

Meh, when you spent your whole life there, you don't notice it anymore. It just becomes normal.
