    I was in Halifax for the first time this summer. I guess looking back it’s pretty crowded already. I saw some huge ships and parking lots unloading cars so I guess they’re already busy with that. I’m going to Montreal on March break, I’ll be sure to pay attention to their shipping arrangements. They’re more of a container port I think?

      I live right next to the port of Montréal, so I can provide info if you want. But I know nothing about ports. All I can say is that there’s a lot of containers, big round things (to store oil?), and various industry including sugar, beer, some battery-related chemistry, among other things.

      There’s another port, also close to where I live, that’s actually in another city. But it seems to be a city mostly for industry. It has only a mere 2000 inhabitants, and a lot of industry, especially oil. The city has the uninspiring name of “Montréal-est”.
