Are you a Calgarian or Montrealer at heart?

The city you settle in depends on many things: the location of family and friends, economic and recreational opportunities, cultural fit and, sometimes, your politics. In "An Open Letter to Montreal, On Behalf of Calgary" (Issue 21), Will Ferguson dares to propose that Calgary and Montreal are emerging as Canada's new political power centres. Ferguson's suggestion: a new power sharing arrangement in which Calgary acts as the head and Montreal the heart. Find out where you fit in the new Canada. Are you more of a Calgarian, or a Montrealer? Take the Maisonneuve quiz to find out.
