I've been wondering if Ottawa could benefit from the "instability" in Montreal. On top of the Bloc Quebecois being in power, today the media were talking about a report by the Université de Montréal that says Quebec companies pay the highest taxes in North America. Perhaps Ottawa should be marketed as an alternative for companies in Quebec that want to do business in French but don't want to be heavily taxed or have had enough of hearing about separatism. If they still want to be Quebec residents they could live across the river in Gatineau and operate their business in Ottawa. You'd think that because Ottawa is full of qualified English and French speaking people there would be national headquarters here. A company could serve English speaking and French speaking people from here.
