It doesn't say that it's from Montreal. It's a local specialty. Pizza is a local specialty of New York City.

École polytechnique is located in Montreal too, I believe it's usually considered an university despite only offering engineering programs.

Also, the Biosphere is incorrect. The landmark is called the Biodome, not the Biosphere.

Minor mistakes, but worth correcting.

Yes, both McGill and Polytechnique are in Montréal.

But, the Biodome and the Biosphere are two different places. (the Biodome is inside the Olympic Stadium).

The École polytechnique that everyone knows is in the Paris area.

But I changed the incorrect answer to "La Sorbonne".
