Indeed, and Italian is the most common ancestry group among Montreal "anglos." There's a sort of mini-NY or Northeast Corridor vibe.

I always found it odd how the Italian community in Montreal assimilated into the Anglophone community. The earlier norm was that Catholic migrants to Quebec tended to assimilate into the Quebecois ethnicity, with even a large proportion of the Irish population from the 19th century essentially blending into the Francophone identity.
