I don&#x27;t think Quebec gets a free pass here. It was once the financial capital of Canada until all this separatist talk. Toronto then became the financial capital of Canada, with something like 40% of its companies HQ&#x27;d there. Montreal now has about a third of the GDP of Toronto, yet Toronto only has 1m more people!<p>It seems like Canada is prone to buying into extremism. Be it separatism or the recent love-affair with Putinist style economics banking soley on oil&#x2F;gas and expecting there never to be a shake-up in the market when clearly the industrialized West was going full tilt into renewables.
