Habsfan Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Une autre bonne nouvelle! Il faut que ça continue! Quote
montréaliste Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 You bet, c'qu'i faut, c'est d'attirer les compagnies européennes, pour que Montréal devienne plus évident comme pont entre l'europe et l'amérique. Faut pas oublier que la France, c'est très riche et diversifié, et qu'il faut repérer les entreprises susceptibles de s'implanter en amérique qui ne sont pas encore présentes. Quote
pedepy Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 ce pont la n'a jamais existe et n'existera jamais. sinon, c'est une bonne nouvelle certainement - et j'ai toujours dit que si montreal avait perdu sa place de metropole canadienne, elle n'avait rien a envier sur les autres grandes villes du continent pour une compagnie etrangere qui voudrait venir y etablir des assises nord americaine.
