That of course would be Montreal. OMG, have you ever heard anyone say anything bad about that city? It is wicked and wicked. Plus it scored highly, higher than any other town in Canada, in a new ranking of 150 cities that reveals the urban centres that have made the best rebounds from the global financial crisis that began in 2008.
The Global Metro Monitor, released by Washington’s Brookings Institute, published in today's Globe and Mail, measured a number of factors that revealed "...that the financial downturn has shaken up the metropolitan world order. The cities that have demonstrated the greatest economic resilience are not centralized in the United States or Europe, but spread throughout Latin America and Asia, where a new network of trading partners, from Lima, Peru, to Shenzhen, China, has shed its reliance on American markets."
Montreal, a unique market in the Americas, finished 27th; Austin, Texas finished 26th. It is interesting to note that the same National pride that fuels a lot of energy in Quebec is also evident deep in the heart of Texas.
Dublin, Ireland, finished 150th. Out of 150.
