A $40+ round-trip! Yikes! Unfortunately, in the suburbs the fares are much higher than they would be in the city for traveling an equivalent distance. I assume the bus routes didn't work out, either.
I recall a CBC-TV show from the late 80's about an Ontario man, Charles de Bourbon, who claimed to be a direct descendant of Louis XVII (who supposedly didn't die in Temple Prison, but miraculously escaped and lived in obscurity thereafter) and pretender to the French throne.
While his claim is certainly nonsense, I remember one interesting tidbit: his son, the Duke of Normandy, worked on the assembly line at Chrysler and his daughter, the Duchess of Aquitaine, was a bank teller. How the mighty are fallen
