Or even Gatineau?
I must admit I am a bit perplexed at why they are going out on a limb like this(heeding the song of the sirens), although I realize all of the major Western Canadian cities are very attractive markets.
It's just odd that they are taking that type of risk when their established market isn't even maxed out, with quite a bit of room to grow in Montreal, Gatineau (Ottawa) and a few other medium-sized cities in Quebec.
