I regret living in the Plateau - I have lung problems and there are a lot of people in my neighbourhood who smoke and/or wear perfume/cologne :( I'm told other neighbourhoods aren't so bad and that the Plateau is bad for this since there are a lot of people from France but have yet to live anywhere else in the city.
For me the other pain points are Loi 96, how many offices/clinics/etc close at 4pm (or even 3pm now), and the heat of the summers here.
I actually find the winters an improvement over Toronto! There are so many cross-country skiing routes within the city parks and the bike paths are actually plowed in the winter, so going outdoors in the winter is far more enticing for me. I also have more tolerance for cold than for heat. (I bought a used pair of cross-country skis off kijiji and it was the best 60$ I spent on combating seasonal affective disorder.)
Primary care medicine is an absolute disgrace but I will say the specialist care I've been getting has been hands down the best I've had in my life. Getting referrals from random walk-in clinics was annoying but now that I have a team of quality specialists I'm actually getting better care than I did in Toronto, Vancouver, or Calgary.
Ta faute pour avoir déménagé dans un cartier de français européens!
Joking aside, je te comprends, j'haïs me faire agresser par les fortes odeurs des autres. La plupart des quartiers sont compris de gens beaucoup plus respectueux envers nos narines, n'importe où ailleurs est probablement mieux que dans le plateau pour ça :P
Also quick tip for anyone without a family doctor: If you need to see a doctor for ANY reason (prescription, pain, injury, etc.), call 811, state your ailment and request to see a doctor. They should book you with a physican relatively soon, depending on the urgency of your case.
