OK, I am joking (sort of) but Ottawa is a government town and not known for it's shopping/nightlife/culture etc. It's a couple hours away from Montreal and I'd hit there if you want to shop.

Hmmm...I've been to Ottawa many times and have never found it to be a good shopping city.
If you like art museums...The National Gallery of Canada is there and they are having an exhibit I'm interested in this summer, "Leonarda daVinci, Michaelangelo, and Renaissance in Florence."
Yall are so funny. I am going along with my hubby on a business trip. I did not think it was all that great for shopping since I could not find any info online. Thanks ladies.
