The Just For Laughs comedey festival usually runs from July 15 or so until the 25th. Hotels are usually jam-packed so if this were to become the Montréal FT get-together time frame, things would have to start rolling well in advance. Montréal in summer is very much like Paris. You take your refreshments and/or meal at an outdoor bistro (café) and watch all the beautiful French women (or men, for those who prefer that species) saunter by in those clingy tanktops and hip-hugging shorts. I may be biased, but I still find Montréal women to rank near the top quartile. They are equally stunning in February, but who can tell with all those layers they have to wear to ward off the cold.
I dare you FT'ers to prove me wrong! You'll have to come down and judge for yourselves.
