Whitelaw Twining opens fourth Canadian office in Montreal https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/ca/news/breaking-news/whitelaw-twining-opens-fourth-canadian-office-in-montreal-518194.aspx

This city needs to ban black prefab concrete towers (add grey in there too). Hideous project..

In a super rare occurrence, we gained a new VC headquarter from Europe. BELGIAN VC THEODORUS RELOCATES TO CANADA UNDER NEW NAME TO TARGET EARLY-STAGE LIFE SCIENCES STARTUPS https://betakit.com/belgian-vc-theodorus-relocates-to-canada-under-new-name-to-target-early-stage-life-sciences-startups/

The lot was 60m, then got bumped to 120m, and then 170m on the North Side. In exchange, the lot next door was sold back to the city for social housing, which has yet to be built... typical.

I thought of the same, but one last fight is needed. I can't see us go through another 30 years of stupidity again... we're already at 5 now.

I think they'll do a better job with transit and healthcare... but that's it. We need to come up with a strategy, ground up, to make Montreal competitive again. I'm on board, we just need more people to come on board, be loud and pave the path to prosperity.

Seeing this + all the VFX companies relocating their HQs away from Montreal, gaming and tech bloodbath incoming for 2025, cancelling of financial aid for tech startups... Bill 96, CAQ mismanagement... A lot of my clients have quietly relocated to Toronto, they have no issue with talent there and much less red tape. Other clients of mine abandoned Canada altogether... I've said it here four years ago and it still stands, Montreal is in for a rough decade. We already lost basically 5 years of progress, we are behind major N.A cities... new leadership will have to get us back to speed in under 4 years.

Even up until 2018/2019, every weekend it'll take an hour just to leave downtown lol. Now? Ghost town... the only part of downtown that's still popping is Old Montreal. Crescent has become sleepy, St. Denis south of Sherbrooke as well. Chinatown is absolutely dead due to the druggies, same with the Village.

True, it's pretty sad how empty establishments are at 9 or 10pm. Promoters are concerned about the state of nightlife here, as I am. Lots of people got too comfy at home after the lockdowns, I hate how sleepy of a city we've become.

We need to re-spark our nightlife.... I hate to break it to you all, but Toronto is bustling more now. The only thing holding them back is stuff closing between 12-2am.

The same guy saying this about a mall at 6pm on a Thursday is forgetting that a majority of dowtown Montreal is like this after 10pm on a Saturday night.... No white elephant in the making here.

Six Flags to Invest More Than $1 Billion Over the Next Two Years to Enhance Guest Experience nothing mentioned about La Ronde, but looks like Wonderland will be getting another record breaker. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/FUN/six-flags-to-invest-more-than-1-billion-over-the-next-two-years-to-8lt4z1hu86iq.html

Arahova and Double Pizza have leased spaces under 2006 Rue St. Denis

Six Flags Corp will be conducting reviews of all parks, with the goal of selling some. I won't be surprised if La Ronde will be one of those parks.
