Suppose a white family with three children of school age.
Is it good?
How is Québec and Montréal for raising a family of five?

Not as ideal for a white family as say 25 years ago. I would look around for housing on the outskirts of either city.
The outskirts are less "white" -- I lived in the outskirts for several months and it was most POC
Then I moved to downtown and was shocked that everyone was white
It’s safe, but you do want to select the right area.
There was a shooting on my street when I lived on the ooutskirts. That was a big reason I moved.
But still it is one of the safest cities in the world.

I never ventured to the outskirts much when I lived there.
My usual areas were Mile End and Cote des Neiges, always felt safe.

Right beside Vanier college. The reason why I refer to it as an outskirt is because it is the very last stop on the subway line.
