Canada is completely Technocracy territory. The leeches and EDEs claim its theirs because it's profane or wild, but what it actually serves as is a bastion of the global liberal technocratic dream: progressive, educated, facts-oriented and producing men and women of merit who can be slotted into the machinery of international technology, finance and government. Official bilingualism and the largest percent of immigrants creates a large workforce of people who essentially carry the modern virtues idealized in Europe or the United States, but who can easily assimilate into their assigned roles.

Montreal is conventionally a city of the Technocracy, a sanitized version of London or Paris without the accumulated history or ancient relics upon which reality deviants can supp, language barriers that prevent the unilateral saturation of conspiracy theories disruptive to a well-functioning Consensus

Those are official fictions encouraged by the national brand, and taken advantage of by New World Order hypermemetics. Expect to see a lot of those, as absent the vast physics experiments or a runaway military budget, the main Conventions involved with the Ottawa government is the NWO. The nation's official multiculturalism, termed 'the two solitudes' and later, 'the cultural mosaic' were coined by the Ivory Tower as a control group versus American 'melting pot' assimilationism. A lean military budget has also given rise to the concept of 'overtraining' and agile organization of the forces. Subsequently, Canadian NWO operatives are generally multi-ethnic chameleons from urban centers like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal (as opposed to Langley's entrenched aristocracy), switching code and language and making do with relatively nothing.
