I have a lot of parisian friends and they all love Montreal. Some of them would actually like to move here (some of them did and are quite happy). I don't know if it's because you are taking this contest too seriously, but you really seem to have a visceral dislike of Montreal and, from your...

His rationale was simply to help another Canadian city, so to have as many as possible on the board. He was not sarcastic or anything like that.

You would think that, but it's really not the case. I read La Presse and Le Devoir every day, and nothing, except a one paragraph story buried deep in La Presse's last saturday edition. I'm puzzled as much as you are by this, but we'll have to look for another explanation. I also watch TV and...

The SITQ owns Place Ville-Marie and I000 de la Gauchetière, two of Montreal's largest office buildings. The only thing they have planed for Montreal is a 28 storey office building. And they are still waiting for a significant tenant before starting construction. Sigh...
