I speak French well (I used to be fluently bilingual to the point where I thought in French when I spoke it but not I am just bilingual). This requirement is not just that it is a French place, it is required by law including the requirement to send your kids to French schools and it is almost impossible to get healthcare delivered in any language than French. Taxes are also quite high.It also is a fun city with a lot to do, lots of winter sports around. A pretty good video games talent pool that is even more available today because Ubisoft has been struggling, affordable housing compared to many U.S. markets, especially California (house mortgages interest is not tax deductible and the French requirement has get the immigration pressure in housing prices down compared to the rest of Canada).WoTC traditionally has done poorly on in-house computer games, so I am not sure this is a wise investment. Yes, the latest Balder’s Gate made much more money than the license fees they received, but they also were not capable of delivering it and would not have earned anything if they had tried and failed themselves.</blockquote>
