MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA
• The Local Montreal Story:
The World Values Survey, conducted by the University of Michigan 's Institute for Social Research, collected national surveys from 97 countries between 1981 and 2007. It found that the happiness index rose in an "overwhelming majority" of countries studied, including Canada. Here is the list of the top 10 happiest places on earth: Denmark, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada and Austria. As the small country of Denmark came out on top as the happiest place, the USA came in 16th place and we are proud to say Canada placed ninth on the happiness scale by an American institution.
We as Canadians are rated number seven (7) in the world to do business with as export volumes fall amid the downturn in the USA economy and a strengthened Loonie (a Canadian dollar), our federal government is pursuing a free-trade pact with many South American countries and beyond into foreign Asian locations plus other markets too. Our dynamic and modern city might be just the right place for your next vacation trip abroad. Plus we are very respectful of our unique architectural heritage and we are known as a true luminous gem in all of North America. It also successfully blends her old world charm from the early 1600's, with many great big city attributes. Located on a huge oval shaped island, with over 3.6 million people, it is surrounded by the massive Saint-Laurent River.
It is connected by several major large steel bridges to the north and south shores off the island. The city has over 650 parks and green spaces on 393 KM of land, that makes it truly the largest city park in the world. Montreal is the largest French speaking city in the world after Paris, France. While Montreal has sadly relinquished the honour of being Canada's largest city to Toronto, she is by-far the most economically influential metropolis and still relishes it's role as the nation's most spirited and highly international city. The prestigious millionaires magazine "Forbes", has recently rated this city in the top ten cleanest cities to live, work in and to visit. Plus in 2009 they wrote, that we are the third best place to do business in the world, after Denmark and the USA. It is a major area for local and international commercial business, industry, culture and world affairs on many levels. We have a significant presence in telecommunications, electronics, transportation and pharmaceuticals, to name just a few. There is also a wide array of public transport networks in all directions including: subways (Metro), buses and commuter train lines - most produced locally by well know companies from the region.
As the province of Quebec is primarily francophone, and yet the city of Montreal is a multi-cultural and bilingual city. Although Montreal is predominantly francophone (3,530,159), the Anglophone population is 937,933, which makes our city Canada's fifth largest market - it should be noted that 78% of Quebec Anglophones live within the greater Montreal area. Also bilingual Francophones make up over 51% of the francophone population (1,804,939), and thus gives you a total English-language market of 2,742,872 within the province of Quebec. We are a locally based community service reaching over 840,300 website and blog readers weekly in the Montreal area with another 582,600 in the French community of which 433,600 are bilingual Francophones that also read our detailed information too.
Plus, recently we have been added to an exclusive list, as being the gastronomic center of the world, as per an article written-up in 2006 by the prestigious "Gourmet Magazine", and a place where historical strands join to create a potent mix of pride, art and culture in our local daily lives. You'll be greeted with a sincere smile and treated as part of the family. As the locals say: Joie de Vivre (fun of life) is everywhere, you will feel it too !
• The Local Gay Community Friendliness:
With-in Montreal and much of Quebec, you will find a special spirit of openness and tolerance, between the general public and the whole gay community. Here, more than anywhere else in North America, gay men and lesbian women of all ages and background's, can walk together in safe comfortable surroundings. Since the 07 of June 2002, when the Quebec government adopted Bill #32 , which now gives same-sex queer partners, the same rights and obligations, as heterosexual partners. Which only adds to the recent federal court decisions, then changes under local laws for the rights of ALL citizens in any area of Canada, that includes every province and territory, across this huge land-mass of ours.
Make your move to marry your love of your life here and enjoy our marvalously fantastic gay city too. That is why many American's feel safe enough to even get married in Canada, where it's legal for our community members to do so. Also recent trends for more worldwide travellers to choose Montreal, has only added to the prefered destination already made by most of the gay community from the United States. Besides a recent well known symbol of Canada since 1873, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or the RCMP, has a first with the joining of two of their own male officers to wed in love with the approval of the upper brass in Ottawa and the local community, that they serve in eastern Canada. A truly real "Brokeback Mountie" story of "a man that caught his man" in real romantic Mountie gay lifestyle !
• The Local Gay Community Scene:
The proud gay community with their Montreal Village Gay listings info network, is also one of the largest anywhere. Plus boasts more than two hundred and fifty gay & lesbian owned and some 125 other gay-friendly establishments plus most are concentrated in the Village Gay area east of the downtown. While the city has relatively a small number of discos and nightclubs, it boasts a wide variety of local type bars, friendly queer clubs, to open terrace pubs in the summer and to several hard-core leather hangouts. In the past few years places for lesbians have mixed in well but most of the girls go to the gay male locations instead. You'll also find a selection of enticing nude male dancer clubs that are always available. You're sure to find something to please you, no matter what your taste requires or requests.
Also with the new no-smoking law province-wide, it doesn't seen to affect the attendance at the gay public locations at all but the outdoor terraces are full because of the ruling. Most of the drinking establishments close daily at 3:00 AM, but some after-hours non-alcohol bars are open from 1:00 AM till close to 10:00 AM or even later into the early morning hours. During the summer, a strip of Montreal’s Gay Village (”Le Village”) is closed to traffic to form a huge pedestrian mall with many activities planned too. You will need to be there from late June to early September, as Ste-Catherine between Berri and Papineau (under the bridge) becomes a great pedestrian mall where people can walk and enjoy the stores and bars along the way. The hope is to attract more tourists and make the Village a more enjoyable place during the summer. The city will also install more bike racks, if your in the mood for a city tour on two wheels.
While there’s concern about disruption to the local traffic and difficulty to find parking, the local Vision Montreal burough mayor’s office and the many merchants expect that it will improve the area more than hurt it. Most visitors to the area will be encouraged to take public transportation or just park at a site setup at the Bibliotheque Nationale at the corner of Berri and Ontario for your vehicle, just across from the Voyager bus terminal. A huge array of special gay circuit party events are held regularly throughout the year and given in non-specific gay environments they thrive and grow yearly. The city is also very well known for it's numerous popular saunas, that are all over the city and well equipped for all tastes. Plus most of them are always open 24 hours a day and very well attained with regulars.
For a choice of restaurants, gay Montreal offers a whole spectrum of dining experiences, from the traditional beans (known as féves-au-lard) to excellent delicious cuisine from around the world, as mentioned above, we do have some of the best choices of eateries in the world ! Do try the many open-door cafés with small delights for you to saveur.
The whole world caught the feeling at the event of 2006 in Montreal in late July of the first ever, OUTgames : The next Rendez-Vous is awaiting your personal visit at the event in 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark with the next event in Antwerp, Belgium in 2013 !!!
