Sen, two factors may explain why your experience of vulgar usage in Ottawa and Montreal is different from mine: you may have not been with vulgar sorts that I worked with in the Primary Reserve of the Canadian Forces and, in the case of Ottawa, it has a fair few CFAs, as it is a company town that draws from other regions.

Indeed, the Wikipedia article on Ottawa Valley English remarks on the loss of the accent in the city and environs.
