Mr. Potter penned an opinion which was short on proof and relied on misconceptions and innuendoes.  

I was born in Montreal and have lived "here" for all of my 59 years, yet, in all of those years and the 1000's of times I have eaten in Montreal restaurants, have gone to pubs/bars, I was NEVER asked/prompted to pay my bill in cash.

To generalize is and exaggerate is one thing, it is something completely different when the person forwarding this point of view is associated with McGill, by all counts the finest university this country/Canada has to offer.

It's not as if McGill professors go out of their way to label the good people of Alberta/Saskatchewan as far-right "rednecks"....now is it.
