About Future Imperfect

The idea for this blog started because I am often asked to explain Quebec to non-Quebec clients. At the same time, a lot of nonsense is written about Quebec.

Future Imperfect Bis is an attempt to provide greater balance and perspective to the issues that affect Quebec. It often deals with infrastructure, natural resources and electricity because these sectors continue to be of keen interest to many foreign investors.

I strive to avoid legalese, and to be succinct and engaging. I will let you be the judge as to how well I am doing.

I hope that you find Future Imperfect Bis useful and engaging, and look forward to your comments.
