I have an upcoming project with "les affaires" about experience transfer from the baby boomers to the younger generation. we will see how this come up. (can't disclose more than that) by the way, yes montréal has very good advantages for launching a startup, although we should also work on the issues and how to improve it. that's why i have started a series on this blog about other cities and how they are doing, what are their structures and how is entrepreneurship. there was a post about ottawa recently, and there should be more coming. robin: the globe and mail had the same conclusions, saying that Québec has a far better education system than Ontario, and that ultimately, education wins. thanks for the link. :-)
