The New Reality of Moving My Head Office to Ontario

So as I have said many times before, I like living in the crazy province of Quebec. I like the people, the crazy way things happen and the fact that I can get a beer on Sunday at the local Depanner.  The only thing I don't like is how they treat business in the province.

On one hand the government is handing out all kinds of money to help people start businesses. The unfortunate part of this is if you speak English, you are a non-business.  This really gets me since business is business. 

With our Business Over Breakfast Clubs, we do business throughout the world.  We look for ways to breakdown the barriers to helping to build a person's business and a world economy. Unfortunately they just have not learned that in Quebec. 

With their preoccupation for forcing the French language on English businesses, most will just move to a more friendly marketplace.  I for one am moving my Head Office to Ontario.  I have decided that after 10 years of running a business here its easier to do it in the language of my choice.  I no longer have to strain through trying to figure out what Revenue Quebec is asking for, I can talk to a real person on the phone, get a straight answer and no longer struggle through Franglais phrases trying to get my point across. 

I mean I tried, however, with this latest round of insults from a basically racist government that is set on trying to out the English, its the last straw.  I will continue to live in the province, pay my taxes and enjoy my surroundings. I will continue to try my French when I can and love and respect my neighbours and my community.  I just will be carrying out my business with people who care and will be giving my corporate tax money and all my business expenses to English speaking business people that care.  Oh and did I mention that gas is 10 cents a litre cheaper in Ontario as well.

So bye bye  Quebec, it you would like to reach Kensel Tracy, The Corporate Coachworkz or Stratejis Disruption and Transformation Strategies, I can be found a 290 Picton Ave., Suite 104 surrounded by other English speaking business people doing business world-wide with people who care.  The number is 819-665-5851 and I will answer the phone with " Hello".
