"I think Montreal has its own dialect, though" - Yeah, the big divisions I put up subdivide a lot, but I didn't want to run out of tickyboxes. :3c New York State contains three different dialects - New York City has its own, the eastern bank of the Hudson Valley is considered part of the New England dialect and is closer to Boston than to New York City linguistically, and the rest of upstate is actually considered part of the Midwest; Texas divides between the South and the Southwest, with a squidgey area in the middle where it can go either way depending on your immediate vicinity; so on and so forth.
