I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Quebec City.
It's full of Quebecois.
I imagine it would be.  So?
What if you hear someone speaking French?  Barbaric!
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Does Quebec have reasonable speed limits unlike BC?
No, 100km/h official speed limit.  Unofficially, you won't be arrested below 118km/h.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Is there a serious Quebec City - Montreal rivalry?

Yes, from the dawn of times of the colony when Quebec City would force those traveling to Montreal to use barques to travel the River, so they could keep the ships docked to claim the cargo.
but you got screwed as once you opened the St-Lawrence, they went straigth to Toronto, bypassing Montreal entirely :D

Oh that's awful.

Does Quebec City have the hordes of gypsies and others trying to pickpocket? If so, it doesn't replicate that old world charm then.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Yeah, I always liked Jaques Rougeau. He was a mediocre wrestler, but he had great comedic talent as a heel.

The next time I'm watching a French tv show & I hear the word "congélo".

I am going to find a way to Nuke Paris.

God damn it, France French is retarded.

Maybe you should stay home in NYC then.

You don't like hot girls anyway.

outside of Montreal, the highways are mostly ok.  I would advise against driving on country roads though.  This is where the Panzer shines.

Most of my trip will occur on US roads. :contract:
