Clubbing is part of a greater aspect of living in a city, its called nightlife.
Clubbing is what young people do, older ones prefer dining out late, go to a show, concert, talk a walk in the city, enjoy festivals, fireworks, whatever it is that people do at night to spend their free time. In that respect, Montreal has nothing to be jealous of other cities.
Tony with all due respect, I know that you are a reasonable man, what if you have the job, make a good living, have the house and its accessories, where would you want to live? Would you prefer having a 80-100k household revenue in Montreal or Toronto? Sure disposable incomes are higher there, but doesn't housing costs and other related costs eat whats left out? A dollar brings you farther here than over there.
I'm not dissing Toronto here, I'm sure its a great place to live. |

I know lots of people that would love to live in Montreal. However, there aren't the job opportunities here that are in Toronto. You first have to get the job(s) in order to have a $80-$100K household -and sometimes where that job is is not up to the job hunter.
Second, location is partly what determines salary. A job in Montreal does not pay equivalent to the same job as in Toronto, for the most part. In my field, the financial services industry, salaries are somewhat higher in Toronto than here. At the end of the day, a higher cost of living in Toronto is made up for with a higher salary for the same job.
I'm not really partial to either city- just that Toronto has experienced much more growth than Montreal the past few decades. In some respects, this has enabled Montreal to retain its culture and fight off "Americanization". This in my opinion is a good thing for Montreal. The minute Montreal becomes an attraction for every Tom Dick and Harry to live here, it will lose what makes it special.
By overall beef was that afterhours and nightlife were being used to determine which city is better, when there are many other determinants. |

Tony I'm about to go out partying right now. But I wanted you to know that there's a big section about salaries and cost of living in 6 big cities in Canada in La Presse, its in French tho.
I was not surprised that for a family, Montreal is the one where you have the most cash left in your pocket.
While as a single or a couple with two salaries and no children, Montreal was the one with the least money left.
hmm... I gotta get to work and have some kids asap :p |

Toronto, Canada April 7, 2006 - Grammy Award Winner and owner of Stereo Nightclub in Montreal, David Morales along with his partner local entrepreneur Nevio Persia will be opening Toronto’s highly anticipated after-hours and event space Sonic Nightclub at 270 Spadina Avenue in the heart of downtown Toronto on Saturday April 29, 2006. Opening night will feature David Morales alongside the Legendary Frankie Knuckles and Nevio Persia.
A true vanguard in the world of dance music, the efforts of Brooklyn’s own David Morales remain unparalleled. As a producer, he’s enjoyed multiple Grammy nominations (including a win in 1998 for Remixer of the Year) and hit records (from his own to Mariah Carey’s 1996 album Fantasy). Morales has also countered the generally faceless world of dance music as a visible icon and is currently lending his celebrity and face to the ALDO Fights AIDS campaign benefiting the global HIV/AIDS prevention initiative, YouthAIDS. The campaign launched in March in over twenty countries around the world. Please visit www.youthaids-aldo.org for more details.
With residencies at Crobar NYC, Stereo Montreal, 10 years at Echoes in Rimini Italy and 6 years every Saturday at Pacha in Ibiza along with the entire Def Mix Roster, David is guaranteed to bring the sounds of the world’s dance floor to Sonic Nightclub. For more information please see attached biography or www.defmix.com.
Nevio Persia has been involved with Toronto’s electronic music culture and club scene for the past 15 years, whether it was behind the decks or behind the scenes. His love for dance music and his friendship with David led to the collaboration and birth of Sonic Nightclub. He is dedicated to creating a supreme atmosphere, not only as an owner but also as one of the clubs residence DJs.
David and Nevio have taken great steps to renovate the space at 270 Spadina Avenue which was an old theatre. They started with the leveling of the dance floor, thus increasing the square footage and added of hardwood floors for the ultimate dancing experience. Precipice Studios – Toronto’s hot design firm that have given us Lobby, The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Salon Jie - have prepared Moroccan accents for the room that will include plush banquet seating areas and a redesigned entrance.
Careful detail has been paid to the custom built analog sound system which compliments the hardwood floors and gives rich, warm and inviting sound, which is the same concept that gained Stereo the reputation of having one of the best sounding rooms in the world. The Paradise Garage inspired lighting designed by Dymax enhances the sensuality and vibrancy of the venue and will prove to be the best lighting show in town.
Musically Sonic Nightclub will feature residencies from international artists such as David Morales, Billy Carroll, and Chus & Ceballos with support from Stereo’s DJs and local talent such as Nevio Persia, Sean Miller and Cajjmere Wray. Talent does not stop there - as a cast of Toronto’s premier performance artists along with International recording artists will be onsite providing aural and visual theatrics throughout the evening.
To support the entire operation, Sonic Nightclub is made up of professionals from the industry whom have been in the business for over 20 years. The combination of youthful and trendsetting directors and a stellar marketing team know how to bring the right talent and produce an epic style event on a constant basis.
