Oh.. let me write an article about how the tourism business was jettisoned by the government during COVID, can’t find qualified personnel and the consequences… without writing about it.
Hotels had to layoff their staff, who found other jobs and those who returned didn’t have the training nor abilities of the previous staff. Hotels were offered LOANS from the government instead of real help… Loans that had to be repaid. You can’t do hotel renovations and maintenance using loans, it’s just increasing the problem, not solving it.

Customer service in Montreal really is a special level of shitty. I know when I travel I tend to look at things through rose-coloured glasses, but I can think of many instances of being treated well or politely and it’s much rarer in similar situations in Montreal.
