A Montrealer that knows the scene very well will know where to go to get the best prices, it also helps if you can speak french to get the best deals.
There is also a class of MPs and SPs that do not speak english and have limited abilities, that is why they offer lower prices to keep regular clientelle.
The climate for Mps and SPs is very competitive, there are also less manufacturing jobs here as compared to the GTA and Ontario in general. Starting in the med 70s the head offices and manufacturing jobs have headed west, and now the jobs are heading so far west that the jobs are in China.
Even Phnine admits that scratching the surface he discovers that Montreal is less expensive even when he is paying "tourist" prices.
