Over the past few months there seems to have been a French invasion of our city (feel, let’s not overdue it, the real invasion is done by the Iranians). Everywhere I turned there was a group of people (different age groups), speaking in Parisian French (could be Marseille or Lyon even). At first it seemed quite cool, then it just became so … overwhelming. You really thought you were in a European country (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Even my company, Deem Communications got into the action by organizing an open air concert with Elodie Frege on the eve of the arrival of the French President, Sarkozi.

The past few days have also been very … umm… oui oui! I spent a good part of my day with French investors looking to build several big projects here. Now, will it happen? not sure, but the fact that they were here during the 10th anniversary of the French-Armenian Trade School near Sasuntsi Davit statue and during the International Assembly of a French Speaking City Mayors (yes, including Tremblay from Montreal), was just … oh la laaa…

If this is sounding like a complaint – IT IS NOT! I wish there were more. More Germans. More Italians. More Japanese. More British. More Brazilians. More Argentinians… and yes More CANADIANS! This will only make this land a more interesting place (yes, more than it is now)!
