So there was a period of sane Quebec government?

Anyway Montreal sounds like the place to be....I mean unless you want a job.

Is there something better?

btw household debt in Canada isnt all that bad after all.  main reason?  Our banks lend to people who can actually afford it - unlike what happened in the US. From Carrick's article in the Globe:

My understanding is the main concern is that interest rates are at record-low levels. Rates rising to more historically normal levels may create a lot of hardship.

But yeah, I agree that a lot of the prophesizing of doom has proven misplaced - it's like the never-ending 'housing bubble' disaster that somehow continually fails to occur.

Well that ties into the banks lending to people who can actually afford the debt level - which is why the mortgage rules were changed to make more certain of that.

Interest rates are at record low levels because of monetary policy.

My impression of Montreal on my several visits is that it is a city in need of an economic (business) revival.

Wow!  That was one expensive goofball OSU had working for them!

I loved Gee and the fearless way he expressed his eccentricities, and I know he was one of those money-raising machines, but $6 million/year is a bit much.  Especially when that's almost 4 times the compensation of #2.

He's West Virginia's eccentric now.

All the top talent eventually end up in the Big 12.

College Students Strip to Pay Tuition Costs

'With college tuition bills up to $60,000 a year, today’s grads are often saddled with crushing debt. Economists say student loan debt is slowing down our economy because young adults can’t afford to pay the cost of college.

But Maggie found a solution, working just four nights a week. She said she makes $180,000 a year stripping, and she will actually take a pay cut when she becomes a lawyer.'
