We already had the shopping discussion in the Montreal vs SF thread:
Wrong. The thread is Montreal vs L.A., not Montreal vs SF.

And so, if SF destroys Montreal as far as high end shopping boutiques, then IMAGINE THE BEAT DOWN LA(the top shopping city in the Americas after NYC) lays on Montreal as far as shopping.
Wrong. Number of "high end shopping boutiques" that you cherry-picked does not mean better shopping. It just means that you cherry-picked a bunch of chains to suit your narrative. You still haven't proven that L.A. has better shopping than Montreal. And no, hand-picking certain chain stores and counting the number of locations of each does not mean better shopping. You fail good sir.

It would have been better for you to just ignore my 'drivel' because I don't say anything I can't back up with facts, hun.
You haven't backed up "with facts" your claim that L.A. has better shopping than Montreal. You posted the number of locations of certain chain stores in S.F. vs. Montreal. That has nothing to do with L.A. On top of that, the number of locations of chain stores has nothing to do with which city has better shopping. Despite your claim that it does.

Furthermore, Los Angeles is one the world capitals of the rich and elite, and that demographic demands the best of everything, from shopping to dining to hotels to the best night venues, etc.
And by "rich and elite" you mean illegal Mexican immigrants.
Here's a fun fact for you California homers. Every major survey ranking the World's Most Livable Cities in the last 10 years (Monocle, Economist Intelligence Unit, Mercer Consulting, etc.) has ranked Montreal above Los Angeles.
California dreaming? More like California nightmare.
I'm still waiting for Montclair to prove that L.A. is better for upwardly mobile than Montreal. Or that it has better shopping (not that SF has more chain stores than Montreal). Or any of his many silly claims. He has proven nothing. Just false bravado.

Darling, it's you that haven't posted ANYTHING but deer-in-headlights, shell-shocked, incoherent gibberish.

No. It's you who claimed LA has better shopping than Montreal. You stated this as fact, not opinion. If it's fact, you should have no problem providing proof. If you cannot provide proof, people will call you out as a liar.
ROFLOL! You post a story about income inequality? Really? You know that the United States has FAR worse income inequality than Canada, right? The USA has a gini coefficient around 45. Canada has a gini coefficient around 33. It's not even in the same ballpark.
Are you really suggesting that Montreal has worse income inequality than LA? LOLOLOL!
Los Angeles is also creating jobs at a much healthier rate than Montreal. And it's not just LA vs Montreal, right now the US is really on fire:
Los Angeles is a bigger city so of course it's going to have more museum visits…it is not a sign of quality, although LA has great museums. Montreal has some great ones as well.
Did you actually read more than the headline of the CBC story you posted? It also says this
"Even though it may not look like it in the monthly jobs reports, Americans still should be envious of Canada's labour market, he says, and some still are.
The New York Times is not buying the world jobs leader boast. A column on Friday was titled, "Good News on Jobs. Why Aren't We Happier?"
8.7M jobs lost in U.S. recession
The upshot is that it took 6½ years from the start of the recession for the U.S. to win back the 8.7 million jobs it lost during it.
By comparison Canada recovered all the 430,000 or so jobs lost during the 2008-09 slump in early 2011, and since has added 600,000 or so more.
Because of population growth, each country has more people to employ than in 2008.
CIBC deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal says that the comparison by this measure is in Canada's favour.
"Remember, they are starting from an extremely low base. So I don't think we should envy them," Tal says. "We didn't see the same decline in employment they saw. . . . They have much more capacity to grow and much more pent-up capacity."
