I vaguely remember something about a major Canadian city originally being a fort? It's built on a hill and the walls are still intact?

Quebec?

You mean like your independence is not part French? 🙂 Besides, we could just have all the rich Canadians in the US buy the country...

Yes, definitely Quebec City. Best part is that the fort had grass on the roofs so that when you looked with binoculars or whatever they used to see far away back then, you wouldn't notice the actual for part. You can go up on the roofs now -- lots of cannons and stuff all around the fort too. If I remember correctly, the old castle is now a hotel in the city also! Cool looking building if you ask me
 
Château Frontenac, built on the remains of the old governor mansion.

Some pics I took a few years ago, reduced for 56k convenience.
