On Wednesday night, Marc Snyder used the occasion of Shel Israel‘s visit to Montreal as an opportunity for a bloggers dinner.

I made the trek to Montreal to see what is happening there. And I’ve got to say, one heck of a lot.

The fascinating conversation underlined for me that bilingual Montrealers have the best of all worlds. They reside in one of the great cities of North America where they can daily experience both the English and French cultural traditions. This provides a unique flavour and perspective to their conversations.
