      Okay so technically, Montréal is about the mountain that is in the middle of the city.

      Mont-Réal (Réal meaning Royal in Catalan, actually name of the mountain being Mont-Royal) Mont = Mount Réal/Royal = Royal (found this Wikipedia article about the word which is also a name for people in Québec https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Réal_(given_name) )

      It was really something during the convoy in Ottawa

      I was listening to their pronunciations of streets like Elgin and Colonel By and they were atrocious.
