Short detour into history:

Montreal developed at the junction of three major transportation and 
communication routes, the St. Lawrence, Ottawa and Richelieu 
rivers. It is totally indefensible and therefore became a cosmopolitan 
trading / meeting / communicating centre, an outgoing forward-
thinking and liberal (small "l") zone.

Quebec City developed as a fort, at the point where the St. 
Lawrence River narrows, on a high bluff within cannon-shot of the 
other side of the river, as a defender and a controller of travel and 
trade. As the capital of the province, it has developed a conservative 
(small "c") and protectionist persona.

Almost 400 years later, the personality of these two cities has not 
changed much. Montreal is still outgoing and cosmopolitan, and 
Quebec City is still conservative. Both are a blast to visit, so go for it.
