I'm sitting here in downtown Montreal watching some fantastic fireworks from my hotel window. Anyone know what's going on?

I'm going to have to guess it's the fireworks competition at La Ronde.

your guess is correct. fireworks competition takes place pretty much every saturday (and the occassional wednesday) over at la ronde all summer long.

Why were you looking out your window not on the roof-top patio at 737 ?

When Quebec seperates we should annex Montreal. Keep it in Canada. Quebec City? No one ever talks about tht place. They can keep it.

Layover.
And I agree with Dusty's statement... if Quebec goes, we should get Montreal out of the deal. Great city!

Broke S/O... just bought a house and can't even afford a daily trip to TH, let alone a night on the town gettin' jiggy.
