City population growth foreseen as slowing
It’s only a statistical forecast, but the populations of Montreal and Laval are expected to grow more slowly than the rest of Quebec over the next 20 years.

Really? There have been 50K jobs in the regions that they haven’t been able to fill in 5 years… where are these magical people that want to move to St-Louis-de-ha-ha?

There is a group of people that dream of fleeing Montreal and the burbs as they get old and retire.
The ISQ projects that most regions will have a dramatic decrease of working age adults in the next 20 years. Double digit drops in many areas, including 22% in the Cote Nord.
Personally I don’t think it’s that wise to move hours away from your doctor or the closest hospital or your children when you’re at an age that you need more medical care, but at least this way we get loads of news stories about all the oh so many unintended consequences.

To be honest, if I ever move away from Montreal proper, it would NOT be to “les régions”. I’ll move to somewhere it doesn’t snow. Then again, I have the luxury of European citizenship, so I have more options.

So envious. My UK citizenship used to give me European citizenship too, but not since Brexit.
