To me, the cheif advnatages of Montreal over Toronto is the potential

proved that a non-English speaking city can work and be a Good Thing).
Given that Montreal's bis seems much more advancedthan any otehr
Canadian city, I think we should all get behind it and support it. I
am sure there is plenty that can be done to help the bid by those who
live utside of Montreal.

In particular, something that would be immensely cool is some group
travel thing allowing people from Toronto to travel to and attend
cheaper than flying/driving on their own. It's probably a little far
for a chartered bus, but maybe Via Rail can be coaxed into a group rate?
Also, I expect some of the potentially interesting corporate sponsors
have their HQ in Toronto; my experience has shown that begging for money
is best done in person.
