    Both Vancouver and Toronto have natural spacing constraints which can only drive up the cost of centrally-located real estate, Vancouver can only really grow in a southward direction and Toronto is limited to 180 degrees and has no space on its southern lake-front side. Montreal has the luxury of expanding in 360 degrees and this keeps the market at a more reasonable level. Already we see the enormous expansion on the south shore area which is still very close to centre-town. Properly marketed, this natural benefit should be a positive advantage in attracting head-office, or manufacturing facilities.

    Toronto is a decent city, but it is totally paranoic about whether or not it has surpassed Montreal in quality of life issues...and most studies ut Montreal ahead of Toronto. Inevitably, in these cases as in this one, the Toronto media and national English media simply do not report on it. This feeds Torontonians` ignorance about the real status of their city relative to others.

    This article seems more like a public relations exercise by Montreal International than a thorough overview of foreign investment onto Montreal.

    Every generation remembers how tough it was for them and how spoiled and ungrateful the new generation is. Even Socrates complained about how spoiled the newer generation was. Then, having complained about how tough it was for them, they brag about how wonderful it was for them to have had it so tough. Then, inevitably, they try to recreate tough conditions for the incoming generation and, in the process, they impede progress. I get the impression however, that today's youth are rejecting this so-called wisdom of the past and are leapfrogging into their own vision of the future. Good for them. And yes, they can do it because they are better educated than their elders

    The Liberals have to work harder to get Ontario votes than they do in Quebec. It is interesting though that Montreal expertise in infrastructural financing * Is quite advanced...think SNC *and Ontarios 407; the Caisse's involvement in transportation. One thing we can be sure of: if the Head Office *is in Toronto, it will be overloaded with unilingual Anglos. Ottawa is bad enough as a poorly equipped bilingual civil service; Toronto is hopeless. The Family Compact still lurks below the surface.

    I agree that it is a valuable heritage and, as such, should be milked for all its worth. They could put the Pint in the Point, for example. We could butter up Wisconsin to buy it and Guarantee them a good price, but that would be too cheesy. Compared with other historical industrial symbols here, it would , in my view, be the cream of the crop. If it is placed too close to a major thoroughfare here, it could cause huge traffic bottlenecks. We certainly don't want to pour a lot of resources into this. We should aim for 2% return on any investment here and just hope that no one skims off the profits.

    We need to call a spade a spade - our city just doesn't have enough capital resources for this bank to work. It needs to be close to the center of power and money - which is Toronto. There's no other strategic rationale as to why else this could be. `No other strategic rationale!!!???`You have a single-minded hobby-horse which blinds you considerably as to the complexity of the world you live in. 1. There are considerable political strategic implications here. The PMO is Toronto dominated and the Ontario Liberals are in deep trouble and a nice little federal gift might strengthen their standing. Also, Ontario, much more likely than Quebec, could slide into Conservative voting territory if the Feds don`t play ball. 2. Expertize in infrastructural financing is another strategic consideration. Montreal, from all accounts, has the most experience in this domaine and much of the new Bank`s policy has been guided by the Quebec experience in infrastructural financing. In general, we are dealing with a politically charged and unequal playing field here and Quebec and Montreal will have to pull out all the stops to win this. If it goes to Toronto, you can be sure that service to potential francophone clients will suffer. Bilingualism in Toronto is a sorry joke.

    Of course Trump loves the undereducated angry subclass...unless they were to damage his buildings. This is part of a global phenomenon, the economic gap increasing; fear of poverty and its inevitable companion, anger, rising. I agree that we are protected by the greater parity we share here, but the greater the income gap, the greater potential for social upheaval.

    What is this doing here? Did someone confuse runaways with runways?

    With the traditional media slashing jobs dramatically everywhere on the globe, why does this relatively small bit of news seem to be appropriate to you for inclusion on a section dedicated to the revival of Montreal? Is any good news about Montreal so distasteful to you that you just can`t help yourself and must, in any possible way, find the negative side of our city? And please stop giving us your BS about loving this city.

    There are billions of dollars around the world looking to be invested. Investment in infrastructure is one of the most secure means of investing those funds; especially if it involves a secure country like Canada. La Caisse might decide to be one of the investors, but only if they like the numbers.

    Increasingly the language issue, if there is any, will be the lack of capacity of others to speak Mandarin. In a growing part of the world, the demand to learn Chinese (mandarin) is catching up to the demand to learn English. Since Quebecers are more open to learning additional languages than are most English speaking North Americans, this may give Quebec an advantage as more of them learn to communicate in Mandarin. q

    He is not expressing optimism; he is reserving judgement until there is more evidence.

    You are absolutely right! The anglo-media bias against Quebec, including the Toronto led Post Media (i.e. The Montreal Gazette) is constant. More often than not, it is not about what is reported, it is what is not reported....Quebec employment gains being a typical and constantly repeated example. The Toronto media (including the so-called national paper, the G&M) fears Montreal. That is the only explanation I can come up with given their unremitting bais against Montreal..and Quebec in general.

    If you read their methodology, you will see that it is far from arbitrary, and when you ask how many people, you will see that they have interviewed a couple of thousand of financial professionals from around the world. Nor as a joint Chinese-British organization, do they have any reason to favour Montreal over any other global city. So, your question is only legitimate if you can give some specific critiques of the methodology, or your analysis as to why the conclusions are irrelevant. So far, you are just blowing hot air, based upon your all too obvious biases.
