      Yup, if you’re pronouncing Calgary as a 3 syllable word, you’re doing it wrong.

      But then again, there are some cities where people add letters that aren’t there, like Vangcouver

      Okay so technically, Montréal is about the mountain that is in the middle of the city.

      Mont-Réal (Réal meaning Royal in Catalan, actually name of the mountain being Mont-Royal) Mont = Mount Réal/Royal = Royal (found this Wikipedia article about the word which is also a name for people in Québec https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Réal_(given_name) )

      It was really something during the convoy in Ottawa

      I was listening to their pronunciations of streets like Elgin and Colonel By and they were atrocious.
