Montreal is a multicultural city which has a ethnic diversity about itself. The city is mixed with all types of people. English and french can be your first or secondary language. And just to let you know, there’s more then just 2 black communities. You have many people from different countries that live in montreal besides quebecqoi citizens that make up the city. Native indians, Asians, caucasians, West Indians and more… I wouldn’t say montreal has no ghettos but I would say montreal has lower income families living in projects and in co-op communities. Theres basically rich and poor people living in the many boroughs of montreal which is just the similar as other cities and states. And if there was enough social assistant svc’s, jobs and shelters there would be no one on the streets. Trust me because I live in montreal and lived through it all. Montreal isn’t as different then any other place. There are positives and negatives to this city as any other city. Don’t believe everything you hear unless you have proof that justify the facts.

Take care,

On the furries, I didn’t realize it was the huge convention, I probably would have tried to snoop around, uh I mean do some ethnographic observations, but since I only saw some folks riding the elevator, I kind of avoided them.

And about those furry folks–I was trying very hard not to laugh too much at them. I kept thinking about the MTV True Life with them. I didn’t know there was a convention, but I did see a few tails and other animal suits. LOL!!

I can’t wait until we get our photos from the International Graffiti Convention. Sosa said that when you have conventions you are conventional. LOL All I gotta say is wait until you see our photo essay of the event, tentative title…Ethnic Options Gone Wild!
