Other Travel Tips
I heard Montreal is very nice and because they speak French it gives off a very European feel.
yes
Yes, it helps if you learn French, and don't mention anything about being in "Canada" or the capital being in Ottawa (or is it Toronto?).
many are rude (like in all cities) and even though they understand you, they act like they don't and don't help. i say this sadly, based on experience.
I went to Quebec once. The people were really nice. I thought they'd all be snooty and wannabe french people. I went and saw the Expos play before they moved to DC. A funny story. at the game I was in line for beer. The people in front of me spoke only spanish. Me and my stupid friends only speak american. (English, but not always correct) and the people behind us spoke french. the girl at the concession stand was able to speak to all of us in our languages. She was way too talented to sell beer at Olympic Stadium.
