375th: Québecor stops promised payment
Quebecor promised a million bucks for the city’s 375th celebrations in 2017, but has reneged on handing over the last third of it, claiming it didn’t get enough bang for the buck.

The city should do the same on it’s contract with the STM.

Why?

Well, if Quebecor can renege on a contract, why shouldn’t the STM and the city of Montreal? Either you are a trustworthy partner, or you aren’t. If you aren’t, then the city doesn’t have to abide by it’s contract to let you distribute 24 Heures in the metro, for example.

Oh, I misread you, Ephraim. But 24H hasn’t been distributed in the metro for awhile. It’s handed to people outside the stations. It’s Metro that’s distributed inside.
24H did have the contract for awhile, but Metro was distributed inside the stations for periods before and after the 24H contract.

Kate… doesn’t matter what realm, be it Quebecor, Videotron, etc. Until that money is turned over, the city should remove Quebecor from all contracts, all bids, everything. If you can’t keep your word… you can’t sign a contract with the city.
