>>> Is it me, or is local media in Quebec too negative? Montreal has been ranking well in a number of international surveys, yet the media in Quebec tends to focus only on very negative stories. Wouldn't they be more useful if they actually contributed to the promotion of a certain pride vis-à-vis Québec's achievements?

 

(NB: I'm well aware that 1.7% GDP growth is pretty lame, but...)

the media here is way too negative, but if that is the reason why Montreal is doing better then by all mean let them continue

 

Montreal has soo much potential, if a bit more people believed in it, we would be one of the best city on earth (to some we're already there).

 

GDP at 1.7% is not that bad, considering how Ontario with the same economic structure has done. Our sectors of the future are doing very very well so the future is looking promising for us.
