Tell us something interesting about your hometown?
My hometown Aylmer, Quebec, a suburb of Gatineau, borders with the city of Ottawa which is separated by a river.  The town is 50% anglophone and 50% francophone but it used to mostly be French. Because of this, the Anglophone/Francophone rivalry gets shaky at times. Also, Aylmer alone has 7 different golf courses.
