What a slap in the face for Quebec, to have an Anglais company take over their best Gold company. I wonder if they can rally enough support via the Caise and other Quebec financial resources to help Osisko do a Pacman defence on Goldcorp? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man_defense)
Their relative sizes might not matter as much as you might think. Goldcorp has languished due to less than stellar management, while Osisko has had very good management - a number of Goldcorp shareholders might prefer to have Roosen on top and turn out the gang that now runs Goldcorp. I seem to recall a number of aggravated shareholders at Goldcorp meetings, whereas Roosen has only cheering shareholders.
