Montreal is a city that's truly got it all. From renowned restaurants, great bars, and wild festivals to a booming arts and culture scene and even better people, and the best part? It won't cost you much to visit.
Quebec is the clear winner and Ontario is the loser in a ranking of the cheapest Canadian cities for renters.
