That's a BIG YES to our neighbors to the north. All my life a trip over the border was something to get excited over.
My family always Summered at the far-from-Canada end of Lake Champlain. Trips to Montreal were great fun.
In fact, the nasty things said about the French and French speaking people (some of it Canadian sourced) was quickly devalued by the friendliness of the Quebecois. I don't want to omit the "friendlies" found all over the rest of the country.
I do wish your remote beer stores were open on Sundays though. (Ha-Ha)
