I live in Babylon

Fears over drinking put end to high school trip, says the Boston Globe.

So parents are preventing their kids from coming to Montreal, cause they might be drinking? Ha!

I can barely spend a weekend in Montreal when there's a long holiday weekend in Vermont, Massachusetts or New York. Suddenly, the city gets filled with drunken teens, flashing their American money around like we're Cuba or Somalia and it somehow made us respect them more, and it often ends up in small group fights in the streets. Our police doesn't even pretend to care anymore.

Seriously, what do you think the kids do, when they're 19 years old and can't drink? They come to Montreal, where they can, starting at 18.

"We've heard rumors of prostitution, and lax marijuana policy means it's more accessible", said one Boston principal, after getting called by a Montreal journalist. Indeed, those things are true. And that's why your kids come here.

Plus, we've got strippers.
