I speak 3 languages fluently - I grew up with multiple cultures in the household - because like all Canadians I'm a mutt - a wonderful complex mix. Daughter of a diplomat I had to learn that all cultures and languages hold value and beauty. Montreal is lucky! Now if only they could see it that way.

Montreal is lucky! Now if only they could see it that way.
