The west island, just west of fairview would be ideal, fits all their criteria plus they could be right beside an REM station, plus the bus terminus at fairview. 

 

What is the height restriction in the West Island?

Other possible locations are: 15/40 and St Laurent Technopark

Six cities Amazon should consider for its second headquarters

Amazon’s surprise announcement Thursday morning that it will begin searching for a second headquarters in North America will send political and civic leaders across the continent into a frenzied scramble to lure the fast-growing technology powerhouse.

But what cities actually have a chance to land Amazon’s “second home?”

The company’s press release lays out a few details of what it’s looking for: metro areas with more than one million people; a “business-friendly” environment; a strong technical workforce; and “communities that think big and creatively when considering locations and real estate options.”

Here are six cities that immediately sprang to mind that would meet Amazon’s needs:

[...] 

  1. Toronto
  2. Boston
  3. Austin
  4. Pittsburgh
  5. Chicago
  6. Atlanta

I am surprised Calgary and Kanata/Ottawa did not make those lists. I understand it is an American website and they probably do not know much about either one.

I saw one website saying Detroit would be a great fit. It would surely bring life back to that city, it really needs it.

Attracting talents in Montreal isn't a problem we could work only in english in Montreal. Look the ceo's of Couche-Tard and SNC Lavallin and Domtar all are english speaker only .  Brian P. Hannash and Neil A. Bruce  and John D. Williams 

How much of amazon's revenue comes from Quebec and will it be happy to have to conduct business in French by law.

fyi the CEO of Couche Tard doesn't not live in Quebec 

Le CEO de Domtar aussi a déménagé hors du Québec.

Citation

Le Britannique John Williams, PDG de Domtar depuis janvier 2009, souligne toutefois que les taxes et impôts élevés ainsi que la loi 101 peuvent décourager certains étrangers de venir s'installer au Québec. 

Aucun des dirigeants que nous avons rencontrés ne s'est spontanément plaint du piètre état des infrastructures québécoises - sauf M. Williams. «Montréal a le potentiel d'être une ville fantastique avec sa vivacité culturelle et sa gastronomie, dit-il. Le problème, ce sont les infrastructures, qui sont une vraie honte.»

John Williams a quitté Montréal pour Charlotte, en Caroline-du-Nord, après deux ans. Ce ne sont pas les nids-de-poule ou les ponts fissurés qui ont influencé sa décision, mais plutôt des raisons familiales... et l'hiver québécois. 

«C'est trop froid pour le commun des mortels», tranche-t-il.

L'aéroport d'Ottawa n'est pas très connecté sur les États-Unis.

Je pense qu'on déjà peut exclure les villes qui ne sont pas près d'avoir un vol direct vers Seattle et SFO

Comme le pdg de Tembec James Lopez aussi aux Usa. J avais oublié que il avait déménagé aux states reste que la grosse majorité des usines de Domtar sont aux USA. Je me souviens d avoir lu qu il avait parler des infrastructures pourri que l on avait a Montreal. En 2020 ca va etre en grande partir reglé. Les Ceo de couche tard et SNC Lavalin sont par contre a Montreal.

Amazon’s New Headquarters Could End Up North or South of the Border

Marketwatch, for example, listed Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Bridgeport, Denver, New York, Provo, Raleigh, Tampa, and Washington D.C. as cities that met Amazon's requirements. Conspicuously missing from that list were Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Mississauga—all in Canada—and Mexico City. U.S-based reporters seem to forget that Mexico and Canada are also in North America. (Amazon explicitly noted that the new headquarters, or HQ2, would be in North America.)

They all have their draws: Montreal, for example, is a hotbed of research in artificial intelligence, a field of great importance to Amazon (AMZN, +1.25%). Toronto is a world-class, diverse city on Lake Ontario. And it is, for the record, already in the race, according to The Star. Halifax, Vancouver and Ottawa are also interested, according to the CBC. Whether Amazon would consider a city as close to Seattle as Vancouver is an open question. Presumably, one reason to create another headquarters would be to create some geographic (and time zone) diversity.

After Amazon (AMZN, +1.25%) posted its news on Thursday, local newspapers chimed in with their own takes about why their hometowns may be good fits for what Amazon is calling HQ2

Given the stakes—Amazon says it will invest $5 billion in HQ2, which would be home to 50,000 people—it' s not surprising that many cities are coming forward, including Chicago, according to The Chicago Tribune. The Boston Globe listed both reasons why Boston may make the list and why it is unlikely to do so.

Denver, Pittsburgh, San JoseBaltimore, and Philadelphia have also expressed interest in being home to Amazon HQ2.

What do two twitter comments prove? FFS. Why did IBM, Microsoft and Google all invest significantly in Montréal in the last couple of years, then? Damn this language law (singular not plural, you'd think these angryphones wouldve at least learned that after repeating the same old tired clichés for 40 years). #sarcasm
