When I travel for business I am not there as a tourist and when you visit the same area multiple times you start to get a feel of how people are and think.

I don't intend to start a pissing contest by making a list of place I traveled. My job makes me travel around the globe about 3 weeks per month.
That being said,
It comes down to personal preferences. Personally, I found that Quebec is not a bad place to live

Yeah, I would.
I'd travel a lot, but I'd be based in Montreal.
I've already said I was talking about condos, I just called them apartments. Get over yourself.

Twon a pas tord. À l'extérieur des grands centre, c'est ghetto pire que n'importe où ici.
True story, j'étais, cet hivers, dans une auberge jeunesse, à Florida City, à jaser avec du monde de plein d'horizons (USA, UK, Chine...) autour d'un feu quand 2 coups de feu on retentit pas trop loin. Un américain( cinquantaine, Vétéran) lève même les yeux et dit: "45 magnum" pis un jeune punk de l'Ohio rajoute "Negger down". C’était drôle et et troublant et pathétique à la fois. Les trois filles du UK la trouvait pas drôle... elle ont crisser leur camps pour Key West aux petites heures le lendemain, pis moi aussi.

La décision d'un simple individu francophone qui a vécu une vie aisée grâce à l'héritage de son père vient livrer ses états d'âme. C'est facile d'opter pour vivre dans une principauté quand t'a les moyens et 95% du reste de la population d'où tu est originaire ne l'a pas. Ça me fait penser aux gens qui se disent "grands voyageurs / grands aventuriers" mais qui ne peuvent pas voyager sans formule tout inclus. Et comme si c'est pas terminé, les anglophones du Québec qui vouent un ressentissent viscéral envers les francophones vont boire les bonnes paroles de Jacquo Villeneuve comme les véritables parole d'un prophète.
La raison d'etre de la loi 101 et ses semblables n'est clairement pas l'amour du Francais, mais la haine de l'Anglais. C'est pas les Anglophones qui ont fait des lois pour dire que le Francais etait pourri, illegal, etc. L'inverse est vrai.
Pourquoi selon toi?
Jacques a pas souvent raison mais la, je lui donne 3 morceaux de robot.

C'est gros en chien. Je pense que le robot avait 6-7 morceaux max.
J'envie le sidekick du Capitaine, au moins il était sourd et pouvait pas entendre les railleries à Jacques, pis je me demande ce qu'il mangeait pour toujours vomir du papier...

Quebec is not a bad place to live but I no longer feel like it is home for me. It is a place to live, period. All changed for me when I started travelling for business 10-years ago and witnessed what is out there, the good and the bad. Quebec can and should be so much better, I want to call it home but I just can't. So much energy and resources are wasted on petty stuff in this province.

You know, a lot of people who come to Montreal for business think it's amazing....

/\ Exactly.
"This province is not the worst place to live in"... instead of looking upwards and striving for better we continuously look backwards to compare with the worst... Looking backwards brings you backwards.
Simply put, this province could be a much better place to live in. Unnecessary to list the reasons why the development stalling. The answers are all around you. For once, I agree with JV.

Yes, for the partying & food. Once you start telling them about our taxation rates and social attributes, they quickly tune out...
I wish you start making lots of money, your mindset will change because you will only tolerate so much. Whether you like it or not, money changes all perspective.

You're partially right.
Montreal WAS a great place to come for business but were past that now.
My father was an executive at "Le Reigne Elizabeth" and made lots of good investments in the food and real estate business back in the late 80's and early 90's.
It was much easier then to start up a business or invest but now the food and beverage business is so bad that banks don't even get involved for loans in that anymore.
Once again I'm guilty of saying Quebec is shit and all but the truth is its not.
When u add the good and bad it's simply a slightly sub par place to live.
It's not terrible but far from great.

I was just in the elevator with a business woman, I was carrying an old CRT model television that we now have to pay 17$ for a company to recycle. EVEN THOUGH WE'VE ALREADY JUST PAID AN EXTRA 21.50$ ON THE NEW TV IT'S BEING REPLACED BY.
We had a short discussion about it. I called Recycle Quebec myself, I explained, all they can do is refer me to a place which WILL charge me to pick up and dispose of old obsolete tech.
Where's all that money going to? 21.50 per screen times the amount of screens we have here, over 300 users, 350 PCs, multiply that for all the medium sized companies, then add the PMEs and the large corporations.
WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING WITH OUR MONEY?

Lol @ small horizons. Because people dream of a nice house on a lake instead of a nice house @ the Mediterranean or Ocean.
"Mountains" ? lol
Stop deluding yourself that Montreal has good night life and food. Go to Europe for a few months and you'll laugh at what passes for night life in MTL.
