The year 1146 was when Eleanor of Aquitaine committed to the Second Crusade. Just goes to show that we never should've let Quebec into the dominion

At the time of Confederation Quebec was the economic powerhouse amongst all the provinces.

If I remember that was true until the 70s. It wasnt until unrest in the province caused corporations and Anglos to flee Montreal that Toronto overtook it.

Yeah that's what I've always read. I'd be curious to actually dig into the stats to see if that was true or just another one of those bits of commonly accepted historical wisdom that gets repeated over and over again. Montreal did see a downturn in the 70s and 80s at least, but deindustrialization no doubt played a part in that too. That and fairly aggressive social democratic policies might better explain capital flight than the people in charge being more insistent about people speaking French.

Also there was a risk that your corporation would no longer be in NAFTA if you were headquartered in Quebec

To no one in particular: Please reference this example of an actual Communist taking Freeland to task in person for being a neolib ghoul. Take notes. https://www.facebook.com/CommunistPartyOfCanada/videos/529289477854608/

Montreal was one of Canadas largest and most important ports and railheads as well. Most likely, as you said, the crisis of Capitalism that happened at the same time was a major factor that gets lost in all of this. Torontos wealth from the 80s on is in banking, finance and real estate, I dont think it ever overtook Montreal in productive industry. In the 40s, most of Canadas heavy industry and war production was centred in Montreal. My grandparents still called Toronto Hogtown and described old Toronto as something like Chicago or Winnipeg - stockyards, warehouses and grain silos rather than factories and office buildings. Obviously Ontario had industry in Windsor, Oshawa and Hamilton, but Toronto itself as I understand it wasnt really that much to look at.

Even earlier the business community was doing all they could to prevent that outcome; such as publicizing the fact they were evacuating cash reserves from the province in a massive convoy of armoured trucks ahead of the election.
