As pointed out your statement about unemployement is incorrect. Brain drain is a huge problem for all of Canada; do you have any statistics showing how it is affecting Quebec more?
Forget the unemployment, there is a much bigger issues at stake with racists governments blaming the immigrants for their failed referendums and resulting in mass business exodus...
This kind of stuff pretty much diminished Montreal and gave the rise of Toronto as Canada business capital...
I'm in Montreal, we're doing fine. Sure Toronto is objectively doing better economically, but sometimes raw economic output should not be the only preoccupation of government (hey, I can make rent in a nice four room apartment as a graduate student!!). I don't like that when people point out that you're wrong and ask you for numbers, you just scream the typical "but, but Quebec is racist!!!!". That's unproductive at best.
Quebec is not racist, the regular people in Montreal are great and they acknowledge the fact how repressive the bill 101 is, actually, it is worst for the regular Quebecois, preventing their kids to learn English from young age and handicapping their future...
The separatists’ leaders are racist, but soon they will go away in oblivion, because the young generation knows better thanks to TV and Internet and are open to the world...
The whole world is uniting; EU is a good example (even with UK getting away, which looks more and more unlikely)... There is no room for chauvinism in this century in my book.
Montreal is one of the best cities in the world, largely because of the immigrants settled there, even tough the nationalist governments try to punish them any chance they get...
Ever try to register a company in Quebec? Let me give you a clue, it is possible, but only in French :-)
Montreal city web site, it does have an English section, but the majority of the documents are in French only...
