Well, i think they have maybe a little bit of the "we're carrying the load of our country" kind of feel.  Quebec wants to leave the country but it fears Canada wouldnt survive without it. (not that NYC wants to leave, but could we live without it?)
    Also, worldwide, Montreal is the first place you think of when you think of Canada, same with NYC and believe me, people who live there know it.
 
    they always tend to know whats "hip" before everyone else  
 
    take a look at the Stills....look NYC to you?

I see your point.  New Yorkers do tend to be quite provincial.  I guess I think of French-Canadians as haughty and arrogant (probably because of the French part), but in my experience, New Yorkers are quite friendly.

New Yorkers are friendly, unless you try to wear a Red Sox cap into Yankee Stadium, like I did when I was 11.
 
    The obnoxious, rude New Yorkers sitting next to us the last time we were at Yankee Stadium turned out to be from Toronto.

I lived in Toronto for a couple of years and generally the francophone quebequois were always really friendly; the anglophone ones were the annoying pretentious ones ("Look at me!  I'm from Quebec! I'm cultured!").  Same thing when I've been travelling - when I've been in Europe I've hung out randomly with Quebec people more than almost anybody else.  It also helps that the French can't understand their accent or even just break out laughing.  Quebec generally is an odd mix, though.  It has a huge Hell's Angels contingent, for instance.

another similarity!  Both New Yorkers and "Les Habitants" are known for being a bit snotty and holier than thou. However, its quite possible to know many of both who are friendly and inviting.
 
   but hell, Montreal cant be that bad, they gave us William Shatner!

NOPE! Definately canucks, it says so on the show. Anyway, their jaw is separated from the rest of the head, don't you know a Candadian when you see one?
