A new international airport is opening next month in Plattsburgh, New York, just over the border, with obvious intentions to compete directly with Pierre-Trudeau in Dorval by offering Montrealers cheap U.S. flights. Their logo includes the tagline l'aéroport américain de Montréal – yes, the site's in both languages.

Not only that, the little-used Saint-Hubert airport now wants federal money to expand so that Pratt & Whitney, one of the South Shore's bigger firms, doesn't move south of the border too. posted at 17:21
