“What’s great about Montreal is how investors look at our city today. They understand that our real estate values are lower than other provinces, other cities. But then again our cost of life is significantly lower as well. Our quality of life is much better. So you can work in a great environment, possibly make a little less money than some other provinces or states. But your cost of living is cheaper, so you live better.

And we have that “joie de vivre” in Montreal that you don’t see anywhere else. And that’s what’s attracting investors, and we see companies in AI who are focusing on Montreal over other cities. Because there’s a great work-life balance that we have, that other places don’t.”
