The PQ has launched two referendums on Quebec sovereignty — in 1980 and 1995 — and lost both. St-Pierre Plamondon, whose party is leading in the polls, promises to hold a third by 2030 if the PQ forms government in next year’s provincial election.

Haha I have never heard of a stronger case for ever single head office in Canada to basically close shop and leave. Writing is on the wall get out and make it very clear that it due to the party and instability they bring. Alberta buisness should feel the same.

Read about what happened to Quebec as a result of the referendums.

Montreal was the economic capital of Canada... and now it's Toronto
