Celine Dion is the reason why Montreal is so walkable.

Funny but true story: I was walking on Sainte Catherine West in Montreal one frosty evening (right in front of the repurposed Montreal Forum), with my head down due to the cold wind from the West. I walked straight into Celine Dion and her (now deceased) husband, Rene Angelil (and a couple of their handlers). I muttered a quick "Excuse-moi, Madame et Monsieur"...Celine said something like "De rien, ce n'est pas grave".

And that is why Montreal is so walkable.

I never did buy any of her music. I do believe I have a couple of Prince albums in my stack of LPs
