    - Cost of living is lowest than Vancouver or Toronto.
    - People speak (lot of them) both French and English.
    - Highly qualified hi-tech work force (McGill, Polytechnique and Sherbrooke universities for instance).
    - The province has a touch of America and Europe so it's fantastic place to live in.
    - Crimerate is very low.
    - Poutine.

    So why not outsource?
