Felix et Meira is a good movie.

Aren’t there Orthodox Jews in Cote St. Luc?
The Main isn’t a Jewish neighborhood anymore, is it?

Would be more typical for Montreal.

Wi, mé mwen renmen lang Jamayik anpil.

(Yes, but I like Jamaican language a lot) … even though so few Jamaicans in Montreal these days.

At any rate, both Jamaican Creole and Haitian Creole are easily among the simplest languages to learn. Grammar is extremely streamlined and SIMPLE (as in not complicated). Maybe one of them should be the next global lingua franca since they are so easy.

Côte-Saint-Luc is home to assimilated Jews (by Outremont standards, but not by Americans standards). Anglo-assimilated Jews are the richest demographic group in the city, as they are across North America. Some blame them for ruining America... Jews in Hollywood pushing filthy trash for the average American to watch on TV (or the movie screen) for decades... it's called "pushing the envelope" on moral standards. I don't know what they're talking about. I got rid of my TV a decade ago and haven't been to the movies in years.
