Ofcourse, any Catholic rite can be celebrated/offered in any Catholic Church.

Very westernized and watered-down liturgy. I sincerely hope there are Eastern Catholic parishes in Montreal that are more faithful to the authentic Orthodox liturgical tradition. They are unfortunately few and far between, but one excellent example is Saint Elias in Brampton, Ontario.

une seule faute: les Melkites sont Catholiques ils ne sont pas divises en Orthodoxes et Catholiques.

yes, as a matter of fact they can, as they are in full communion with Rome

Yes and vise versa. It is a matter of logistics not theology.

Can an Eastern Catholic Liturgy be celebrated on a Western Catholic Church?

Although I attend both the Novus Ordo and Tridentine Masses, I would also like to attend a Melkite Liturgy once in a while.

Anyways, the chants sung are proper Byzantine. From the sounds of it, it sounds like it was Axion Estin sung in Greek... but it is nonetheless beautiful.

Well, crudely, I'd say that this is "Byzantine-Lite". For our new translation of the Divine Liturgy, the Melkites have now expanded the Divine Liturgy to the original, which is good.
As for Byzantinising everything, do donate money to us if you want to see something fully Byzantine. More icons, and more ornaments cost more money. What we have are the bare essentials, and it seems to be fine for now. If you want to see more, stop criticising and start helping.

Looks like The Divine Liturgy being chanted in a Roman Catholic Church. I've never seen a Melkite Church look like that before.
