Made the short list of 20, maybe even the top 10. But the oddsmakers don't see Toronto as a favourite, it's somewhere between 10:1 and 15:1.
As probably everyone knows by now, HQ2 will be split between NYC, Richmond VA and Nashville TN (so not really an "HQ2" then …).
The fact that Toronto-Waterloo did not win is not surprising (the incentives offered by the winners add up to US$2.4B, and that's only about a third of what NJ had offered), but it's maybe not such a bad thing anyway. Luisa D'Amato is of the same opinion:
