Montreal has been named as the best city in the world for students.
This international ranking of university cities has seen Paris slip from first place - a position the French capital has held for four years.
The Canadian city has come top of the QS Best Student Cities, a spin-off from the annual QS World University Rankings.
It will add to suggestions that Canada will attract a bigger slice of the lucrative international student market, particularly if there are concerns about changes to entry rules under President Trump.
It also has the benefit of being able to offer degree courses in two big international languages - with English-speaking universities such as McGill University, and French-speaking, such as the Université du Québec à Montréal.
Entry to this league table requires cities to have at least a population of 250,000 and to be home to at least two universities in the World University Rankings.

I can personally attest that McGill is a great school - it's where I did my accounting post-grad study. And Montréal is where I would live if I ever decided to move away from here.

I said this before, Canada has THE best snowmobile trails, bar none.
that makes it a great country in my book.

If NE Pa. doesn't get some more snow soon, I may be looking into a trip up north. Been two years since I last had a good few days of snowmobiling.

It's just because they have the kind of winter weather which encourages staying inside and studying.

Not bad, rube. Not bad at all
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
