A lot of valid points.
I moved to MTL a year and half ago from Toronto and there weren't many garages. Luckily a garage owner directed me to one here and I WAS very happy with the selection/services. Compared to Toronto, the garages available in MTL is lack luster. A simpler comparison listed below;
1 - MONEY - This is a comparison of Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. Having lived in all of them, Toronto and Vancouver=Money.
2 - INCENTIVE - Besides the obvious being money, French is useless outside of Quebec and France. Some MM's learn english on the side, however there is no incentive to learn French and go back home to Asia. Even in a scenario where the MM would like to learn French, more likely they'll learn Québécois-Français opposed to Français.
3 - STATUS - I'm referring to social class. MTL compared to Toronto...it's kind of obvious. Money=Toronto and Vancouver. Generally "richer" communities attract other "rich" people=higher social classes (simplified). Toronto and Vancouver MM's can charge premium rates due to a higher density of upper class individuals(blue collar vs white collar). How often do you see any independent SP's in MTL rates STARTING at $900 for two hours. Nor do I see highly reputable SP's/courtesans travel to MTL.
4 - COMPETITION - Yes, agencies here in MTL charge less compared to their counterparts, BUT this is personal taste -> Most agency SP's I've met here in MTL don't have the same sophistication as in Toronto or Vancouver i.e. clubbing on Richmond Street vs King Street West. Sometimes I crave the Richmond Street type of girl and sometimes I crave the King Street West type of girl. MTL has more Richmond Street girls. I think we crave this because of porn -__-
Even though with all this, my perspective of the situation is mainly due to the nation wide "trafficking" bust last year. Two of my go to garages closed shop in MTL after that or maybe they got busted too. MTL does not support a sustainable economy for Kimchi/Dimsum MM's. People here are SUPER frugal/cheap and retarded. 1=2 in Quebec.
Overall, my experience here in MTL has been insightful as I count down the days till my contract expires...The city itself is dying. Quebecers even say business is dying. Quebec as a province is really f*ked up...if you have no ambitions or aren't hungry for $$, this province is for you!
