Merci d'avoir partagé cet article.
Montreal has actually "fully recovered" with for example an unemployment rate lower than Toronto's even before the pandemic and also lower crime rates.
But sure, Montreal will never again be the largest city in Canada if that is someone's definition of "recovery".
One comparison that is dubious in terms of the economy is that Barcelona as the economic powerhouse of Spain had an economy largely controlled by Catalans who were always a prosperous élite class in spite of oppression under Franco.
When Montreal was Canada's economic powerhouse and dominant city, the economy there was controlled b6 the anglo minority, and French Canadians were a poor proletarian class.
