This article is optimistic aboiut Montreal's future. It is also beautifully written.
I think every Canadian should hope Montreal does get its groove back. Anyone who can look on a map can see it is the natural capital of Canada.
I think the author may also be right. The one thing that has been holding Montreal back has been Quebec separatism and xenophobia. If it can put that to rest now, it will be back to being a world city, instead of a provincial one. It should be in conmpetition with Paris, New York, and London, not with Quebec City.
The recent provincial election bodes well. It is not just that the separatists lost the election, but that their power base, which was once in Montreal, is now mostly rural. Montreals eems to have grown up and moved on.
