Canada
Further information: Boroughs of Montreal, Boroughs of Quebec City, Boroughs of Longueuil, Boroughs of Sherbrooke, List of boroughs in QuebecIn the province of Quebec, the cities of Lévis, Longueuil, Montreal, Quebec City, Saguenay, Sherbrooke, the small town of Métis-sur-Mer, and the municipality of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge are divided into arrondissements, called boroughs in English.
Boroughs were introduced as part of the 2001–2002 municipal reorganization in Quebec, and therefore cities which were constituted before then (in their present form) do not have boroughs. For instance, Laval has sectors (secteur) and districts (quartier), but not boroughs.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Though the words Canada East on the map stretch over many rivers and lakes and unexplored wildernesses, the actual Canada, which might be the colored portion of the map, is but a little clearing on the banks of the river, which one of those syllables would more than cover.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
