...hard to lose weight? "It looks very simple: People need to eat less and exercise more," Padwal says. "But if you drill down it's more complicated." Telling a single mother who works full-time that she should take a brisk walk in the inner city after work each day is not the most practical advice - she's unlikely to do it.

Montreal's greatest attraction remains its inner cityscape. Though it is a largely French-speaking metropolis of almost 3.5 million (nearly everyone speaks at least a little English), its core is easy to explore on foot.

Back then, crack cocaine was associated with inner-city violence and drug-addicted babies, while the powdered version of the drug was considered yuppie nose candy. Congress cracked down so hard on crack that users who get caught with five grams of the stuff - about five Sweet'N Low packets' worth - get a minimum of five years in prison, which is more than the statutory maximum for simple possession of any quantity of powder cocaine, heroin or any other controlled substance...
