    Il vient d'y avoir un tremblement de terre dans la région. Beaucoup de camions passent sur le pont tous les jours. En plus, ci fil fut fermé pendant plusieurs heures. ... Je ne m'aventurais pas sur ce pont si j'étais vous.

    MARCH 9, 2011, 8:09 PM Canadian Banks Object to Toronto Exchange Merger By IAN AUSTEN Mark Blinch/ReutersThomas Kloet, left, the chief of TMX, and Xavier Rolet, the chief of the London Stock Exchange. OTTAWA — The proposed merger between the London Stock Exchange and the holding company that owns the Toronto Stock Exchange has encountered opposition from a perhaps unexpected front, Canada’s financial community. On Wednesday, the securities units of three top Canadian banks urged governments to kill the deal in an open letter that was published online by The National Post in Toronto. “Canadians are quite capable of competing and winning on the global stage,” the Toronto-Dominion Bank, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and the National Bank of Canada said in their statement. “Our success does not depend on selling out or waiting for others to ‘save’ us.” The statement was also signed by the investment arm of the Alberta Treasury Branches as well as Casgrain & Company, an independent investment dealer in Montreal. The Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank of Canada, which did not sign the statement, are advisers to the two exchanges on the merger. The Bank of Nova Scotia, Canada’s only other large bank, did not respond to requests for comment. The three banks are not alone in their opposition. Over the last several weeks, other members of the Canadian financial community have already expressed reservations because of concerns about the loss of economic autonomy. Several prominent politicians, including some with the power to veto the deal, have been openly skeptical or, at best, noncommittal. The trans-Atlantic deal will be subjected to at least six governmental reviews. The banks’ statement further fed speculation that the merger would be denied, much like BHP Billiton’s failed $38.6 billion bid for the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan late last year. “If Toronto is already a global center for finance of mining, what are we trying to fix?” said Mark R. McQueen, the president and chief executive of Wellington Financial, which is based in Toronto. “Once this deal is done you can’t unscramble the egg.” Coming after the Canadian government’s refusal to approve the Potash deal, any rejection of the plan from the TMX Group and the London Stock Exchange could mark a significant shift in Canada’s economic thinking. Beginning in the 1980s, Canada’s corporate and financial communities became advocates for free trade and open investment policies, leaving organized labor and left-of-center politicians as the main voices for economic nationalism. Now some Canadian advocates for free markets believe that views about the economy may be broadly shifting among Canada’s political establishment. “Politics does strange things,” said Joe Martin, the director of Canadian business history at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. “As the world is globalizing, there are a lot of people who don’t have a world view and they don’t know anything about the financial sector.” When the TMX Group and the London Stock Exchange Group announced their plan last month, they clearly anticipated political resistance in Canada. The chief executives of both exchanges carefully, and repeatedly, described the deal as “a merger of equals” and emphasized that the resulting company would have headquarters in both London and Toronto with board representation from both countries. They also promised that the Toronto Exchange’s operations would remain intact and also be given global mandates. But critics argue that many small and medium-sized companies based in Canada will simply be lost in the shuffle of a bigger exchange. “Given that less than 10 percent of Canada’s small- and medium-sized businesses operate in global markets, access to capital for the largest segment of our economy could be adversely affected,” the banks argued in their statement, a view that has been widely echoed by politicians and others in the financial community. Critics, including the banks, also argue that the deal is in fact a takeover of the Toronto exchange by London. Senior politicians in the province of Ontario, which has veto power over the acquisition of more than 10 percent of the TMX’s shares, fear that legal work, information technologies and other services now provided in Toronto would gradually disappear to Britain. At a special Ontario government hearing last week, Thomas A. Kloet, the chief executive of TMX, and Xavier Rolet, the chief executive of the London exchange, emphasized that exchanges must consolidate to be competitive in the future. Raymond Bachand, the finance minister in Quebec, which also has veto power over the deal, said that while he has several concerns about the merger, he also recognizes that globalization may require the Toronto exchange to become part of a global market. But Mr. Bachand, a lawyer who has been involved in mergers and acquisitions, also acknowledged that the broad public debate in Canada about the stock exchange will not be entirely driven by cold, economic analysis. “Every time you speak of foreign ownership, you hit a hot button, which is a very sensitive button,” he said.

    Tu as répondu a ta question. J'ajoute qu'une seule ville canadienne viendrait destabiliser l equilibre alors que 2, ce serait plus gérable. Me semble.

    J'imagine que la RIO/ stade olympique attend la NFL avec impatience.
  10. LindbergMTL
    Pour moi, ce n'est qu'une question de mois ou une couple d'année avant qu'on voit la NFL débarquer à Montréal et Toronto. Les revenus de télévision ne seront plus la pour la CFL.

    Peut-être y construira-t-on une pyramide, comme au Louvre!
  12. LindbergMTL
    hole mole! Super ! On dirait plutot 34-35 etages.
  13. LindbergMTL
    Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà joué au gold en hiver, me semble que ce pourrait etre intéressant au Québec? Avec des balles oranges et des parcours tappés, et des "snow pits". :-)

    Investir dans un gratte ciel peut couter cher, mais c est aussi creer de la richesse. J'ai confiance que SNC va s'y mettre d'ici une couple d'annees.
  15. LindbergMTL
    Pas surpris. La volatilite' dans le Moyen Orient pourrait aider le projet...
  16. LindbergMTL
    3 X plus grands en terme de pieds carrés...

    L'hydro électricité, bien que préférable au charbon et autres technologies polluantes, n'est pase considérée comme énergie verte au même titre que le solaire ou l'éolien, car elle oblige l'innondation de grands écosystèmes importants. L'éolien est problématique puisque le courant fluctue énormément. Mais je crois quand même à cette vision pour le Québec et Montréal. Une énergie propre, renouvelable et bon marché comme la nôtre deviendra de plus en plus un argument de taille pour les industries. En passant, est-ce qu'il y a un lien pour ce discours (merci GDS pour le mettre ici), ça prend un lien pour se passer le mot. :-)

    Jolie. Classe... Vue a' partir du Chateau Champlain. Le mobilier et les rideaux font "ancien empire".
  19. LindbergMTL
    Peut-etre. Ils avaient pourtant fait les plans pour construire l'autre tour, et les prix des loyers n'ont pas baisse' depuis. Est-ce que quelqu'un sait combien de pieds carre's ils louent a' l'exte'rieur de leur edifice a' Montreal?

    Ce qui est surprennant dans tout ca, c'est le fait que SNC n'aie construit qu'un petit immeuble de 23 etages apres avoir gobe' Lavalin, qui elle avait justifie' la construction d'une tour de 51 etages... Y a quelque chose qui cloche dans tout ca. Je me demande encore aujourd'hui comment se fait-il qu'une firme comme SNC n'a pas un centre corporatif plus grand que ca...

    Entre le CHUM et le Marriott sur R.L., il y a un beau terrain vacant coin St-Laurent. J'espère qu'on va y faire quelque chose de beau et en hauteur. Ca ferait une belle enfilade non?
  22. LindbergMTL
    Joli design, mais bien modeste, étant donné le potentiel de location et vente d'unités. Je verrais bien une tour de 35 étages résidentiels sans problème.
  23. LindbergMTL
    En fin de compte, les nuages peuvent masquer les tours a' partir de 149 metres, en bas de ca, ca vaut pas la peine de se pelleter les bretelles.
  24. LindbergMTL
    La collusion si je l ai bien compris serait a un autre niveau, plus profond que ca. Tu te disqualifie pour un, je me disqualifie pour l autre. Il a plus de 40 ans de metier.

    Qu'est-ce que tu es en train de dire, IJ, que le projet du Havre n'aura pas lieu parce que le SHM est en train d'imploser?
