I do wonder if Québec is poised to miss out on some of the shift to a remote economy in tech? If Québec-based companies can hire remote employees outside the province, but non-francophone companies can't hire remote employees in it, then that seems like it might lead to a net loss of jobs.
I talked to my employer about moving to Montréal a while back, because I love the city, and we're all remote anyway, and perhaps I'm a sucker for a brutal winter too (but OMG the summer), and they told me in no uncertain terms that no definitely not. It turns out it's one of the few places on the continent employees can't live, because it's just not feasible for us to comply with la loi 101.
