Metroji clue #66

Quebec City in five emoji

Canada

The only walled city north of Mexico, and the place French North America started in 1608. Winter here is long enough that the city has built a culture around it.

What each emoji refers to

The ChΓ’teau Frontenac is a railway hotel from 1893 rather than a castle, though almost nobody photographs it as one.
The winter carnival runs for two weeks in February, and there is a hotel rebuilt out of ice each year.
Quebec produces the large majority of the world's maple syrup and holds a strategic reserve of it against bad harvests.
The fleur-de-lis on the provincial flag predates the Canadian one by nearly a century.
The Quebec Bridge has the longest cantilever span ever built, and it collapsed twice during construction.
