The Canadian Classique,[1][2][3][4][5] also known as the 401 Derby and the Two Solitudes Derby, is a soccer rivalry between Canadian clubs, Toronto FC and CF Montréal (formerly the Montreal Impact).[6][7][8] The rivalry gets the "401" nickname from Ontario Highway 401, which forms most of the standard driving route between the two cities (with the remainder being Quebec Autoroute 20),[9] as well as the Two Solitudes book and cultural phenomenon.[10] It is a tense rivalry,[9] stemming from other sporting rivalries between Toronto and Montreal.
