Honestly it's not that bad, their snow removal system is admittedly a marvel of civil engineering... if it wasn't so godawful for the people living there. The snow removal really relies on people having either no cars at all, have a steady 9-5 where there cars will be parked elsewhere anyway, or be rich enough to afford a private, off-street parking. Snow removal happens and one side of a street becomes no parking from 7-7, either am-pm or pm-am. So at any one time, half the spots are gone in the city during the winter. If it's 7am-7pm and you happen to work 9-5 or similar it's not bad: you'll be awake around 7 to move your car if the trucks come by, or after 5 for the same. It's 7pm-7am, better fucking hope you have private parking or no car at all. And if you work odd hours, forget it.
WHY? Just....just all of that is fucking insane. Even for what I expected the layers of stupid are inspiring. Good job Quebec

I mean Montreal does like INCREDIBLE in the winter, so at least there's that
