The grain of salt with the mercer index is they measure an "expat" lifestyle.

Hotels are probably more expensive in Montreal and parking costs. Sales tax is higher so clothes and the like will be a bit more expensive.

Also if you pick the 10 best restaurants in both cities Montreal will probably be more expensive. However, if you compare like quality Montreal comes out much cheaper.
