Last night's result does nothing to change the status of a Quebec expansion bid. As with every other market in this country, if there's an ownership group willing to spend the money and a suitable stadium, there will be a club in Quebec. If St Laurent pack Claude-Robillard on Tuesday with 10000 fans then maybe it moves the needle a tiny bit to get someone with money to consider it.
I think expanding into Quebec is the top priority for the league but in the end someone has to put their money where their mouths are. That Qatari rumour was shot down pretty quickly.
