Pretty funny considering it's an Anglo university in a French province...

Not really if you look at the history of Montreal and Quebec in general before the quiet revolution. There's a reason why there's so much resentment towards the English from the French Quebecois nation. But that's a whole other story.

Oh I understand the historical context that lead to it, but there's a whole lot of political decisions (or lack of political decisions) since the quiet revolution that still allows it to be as wealthy as it is as a university that doesn't teach in the only official language in the province even though education is a provincial power.
