well there are many factors so tough to isolate one.

lot more R&D goes on in Quebec specifically becasue there are very beneficial incentives to operate such a business.

In Ontario and Toronto specifically you find a lot more customer oriented businesses, sales, banking, finance etc which would gravitate to the economic hub regardless.

I know I work for a company myself that has all it's R&D operations in Quebec and all its sales offices in Ontario specifically for that reason.

Without those incentives from Quebec the place shuts down within a week and 1800 people are out of work.

That can't cover all the aforementioned incentives, but I get your point.

70s oil boom.

Well managed.

I think Australia has the most applicable system for Quebec. There are tuition fees, but the students don't have to pay them during their studies, they have like 3-5 years to repay them after they obtain their diploma, no interest (that I'm not sure, but it would be possible).


But they don't have enough balls to do that.

I can't see how Québec is such unappealing to the big corps man. Especially considering our strong economic status (partly due to the rigid banking rules in Canada) and since we have loads of ressources.

I hope one day companies will have to pay us to come in here, not the inverse.

Every ressources are pubicly owned, that must help.

They exploit the petrol by themselves, and make loads of money with it.

They get taxed like crazy, but all essential services are free (even dentists).

Everything that's bad for your health is also heavily taxed (tabacco, booze, junk food) and it all goes into the health system.

edit : over there, students receive a salary, a (frank)ing salary for (frank)'s sake...
