I thought it was the almost won referendum that drove this exile, not Bill 101.
Nope. The almost won referendum was in 1995. The referendum that wasn't close was 1980. Bill 101 was 1977.
The Bank of Montreal announced its move in 1977.
(I'm aware of this because I had several classmates in high school whose families had moved from Quebec. They were extremely clear that they moved because of Bill 101, not because of the referendum.)
