For centuries Montreal reigned as Canada's most beguiling city. Inspired
by the pages of the Gazette, Canada's oldest daily newspaper (founded in
1778), here are seventy-five true tales to inspire, amuse, horrify and
captivate. Stories include humourist Stephen Leacock's flinty bitterness
at being forced into academic retirement; a boat race through downtown
Montreal in the dead of winter; a duel sparked by a society ball; and
city-wide celebrations marking the end of World War II. In No Place More
Suitable, author John Kalbfleisch brings into colourful focus the full
range of human endeavor, genius, hilarity, poignancy and sadness from
over 350 years of life on the banks of the St. Lawrence.
