Shriners Children Hospital in London?
The election of Andre Boisclair as the new leader of the Parti Quebecois has taken referendum talk off of the back burner.
Boisclair says he will push for an independence vote as early as 2007 if he becomes Premier.
As a result, many people, including the chair of London's Shriners Hospital Bid, figures that London may be back in the race.
Tony Dagnone says Boisclair's statements will unsettle Shriners across the continent. He says, "The Shriners are very wise. They will not make a term 100 million dollar investment in a province that may turn out to be another country."
Nonetheless, there is still some hesitation because another bid would mean not only having to convince the public that a third attempt will be successful but also it would require more money.
Yet, Dagnone says he and others think they can rally the troops again, although it can't happen unless there is a formal request from the Shriners themselves.
