      What? Why? On the east coast I’ve mostly seen ground as first floor. Sometimes below ground is counted though.

          I’ve lived in Québec all my life, been in Montréal for 17 years, and I’ve never seen a building that uses the European style of floor numbering. It throws me off when I go in Europe. You may have experienced the exception rather than the rule.

          We usually have RC (rez-de-chaussée/road level), 2, 3, 4…

            could be. they have all been the same type of building so maybe a querk. it started off being designed “normal” and then they changed it.
