Does anyone call it the Island of Montreal? Even in the US, it's called the Ile de Montreal. We don't say that Paris includes the Island of the City. -- Zoe
montréalais is right. It's the Island of Montreal in English, the Île de Montréal in French. The island had 26 municipalities on it (the largest being the City of Montreal itself) till this year when they were merged into one, so the distinction of the Island versus the City no longer exists. But it will take a while to die out of common speech. - zadcat
"...located at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the Rivière des Outaouais." - Is there a reason that we have the English 'St. Lawrence' (as opposed to St-Laurent) and the French Rivière des Outaouais (as opposed to Ottawa River, its article name)? It seems an odd mix of languages. Radagast 22:12, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC)
I don't think that's correct. According to National Resources Canada's resources for translators, the Ottawa and Saint Lawrence rivers are two of a limited set of features of pan-Canadian interest that, accordingly, can have their names translated, whereas other features are supposed to have only one form. It's not that those parts of the Ottawa River in Quebec are called Rivière des Outaouais in English -- it's that, unlike other features, it has a name in French and a name in English. - Montréalais 06:32, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Can the statement The Champlain Bridge and the Jacques Cartier Bridge together handle 95 million vehicles a year, a volume greater than all of Toronto's and Vancouver's bridges combined be sourced? I'm very skeptical of the figure - Highway 401 crosses three rivers and the Gardiner Expressway and most of the east-west arterials cross both the Humber and the Don. Or perhaps it's counting bridges that cross the municipal boundary only? Peter Grey 18:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
It would be useful to have a map showing the municipal boundaries. --

Is it possible to get this data somewhere. The current figures (wih defunct link) reflect I believe the are of the Census Division of Montreal which also includes Nun's island, Ile Bizard, Ile Notre Dame, Ile aux Herons, Ile Dorval, Ile Sainte Helene and so on. Would anyone know where to locate the true area of the Island of Montreal?-- Paulalexdij ( talk) 19:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Since nobody has had anything to say about this, I have amended the article to clarify the extent of the only available figure for the area of Ile-de-Montreal. Cheers. -- Paulalexdij ( talk) 12:18, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
The red and blue colour coding on the map in the box at the top right of the page is not, as far as I can see, anywhere explained.
The main map only shows the outline of the island and the districts. The other one shows a big red dot in the larger region, but no local details at all. It gives no sense of the surrounding area or the relative size of the island compared to the rivers, or its surrounding islands. There is a much better map in List of bridges to the Island of Montreal that shows the island, rivers, and surrounding islands, all of which are mentioned in the text but not shown in the maps. I came here because I was curious about how much water there was around Montreal, and didn't find anything, but the other map answered my question immediately. It seems important to me to show the island as part of a local system of rivers and islands, not just a district floating in space. Its not like it's an atoll surrounded by empty ocean. .45Colt 17:55, 20 January 2016 (UTC) .45Colt 17:55, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
