Your totally wrong on the income taxes....

Assuming you make around $75k then in Ontario you pay about 30% income tax (Between provincial and federal).
If you make $75K in Quebec you pay 41%.
Transfer payments is a whole other argument that I agree with you guys on but your missing the fact that Quebec has outrageously high income tax. All of my Doctor friends got educated at McGill and then ran for Ontario or the US.
That being said, Montreal is a great place to visit. Awesome concerts, beautiful women, crazy parties and tons to do. I just wouldn't want to live there.
