It's mostly people from outside Quebec (especially other Canadians and Americans) who refer to Montreal and places in Quebec as French, with the country called France in mind.
I think you mean St. John's, NF. The reason the abbreviation is important because it can get confused with Saint John, NB. The city in Newfoundland is written like St. Johns.
Yes, Saint John's, NF. I don't like abbreviations. Saint Louis, Saint Paul and Saint Petersburg for me!
Fair enough, but the official spelling for the capital of Newfoundland is still "St. John's".
And the official name of Bangkok is Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam. Do you call it that? Are you wrong for calling it 'Bangkok'?

Speaking as an American who absolutely loves visiting Canada, I favor St. John's, Halifax and Saskatoon in that order. I didn't "get" Toronto, only liked Montreal, thought Niagara Falls was filthy and Vancouver a bit too busy for my tastes. Everywhere else in your country I visited I felt right at home.

I listed my 5 favorite Canadian cities and then everybody started bombarding me with non-germane barbs about 'Saint John's' vs. 'St. John's'. Whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose
