There's certainly a similarity in building typologies - the Chicago 3 flat vs the Montreal triplex. But yeah, on the ground it feels significantly different. Chicago is just much more spread out, for lack of a better term. Things tend to be both bigger and grander than anything in Canada, which has both positives and negatives.
