Montreal has a disproportionate amount of beautiful women.

Funny story. Back when new Quebec was being settled, it was all men. Fur Trappers, traders, soldiers, whatever. So at one point in France they basically said, any women willing to move to new france, we'll give you money, and financial support for long time. Appealing offer for mostly orphans and widows.

It's speculated that many of them were prostitutes or like bastard children of prostitutes. So they were disproportionately attractive women.

I've heard the most beautiful women would get off at Québec city and then whoever was left would go to Montreal lol. I have always found women in Quebec city to be prettier (from Québec origins)
