'we dont all do work for Nike and Apple'
Oh, boy.
You've got a very black-and-white view of this, you know. I assume you freelance, yeah? Then why you just get on the freelancer pool with Cossette, BBDO, Havas and whoever the fuck else are in Montréal (I don't remeber now, and frankly don't care to do so) and do good non-template graphic design for provincial or national (or *gasp* even international!) brands at 500 CAD a day?
If you're going to focus on 'des compagnies de broche à foin' — to use your local patois — as clients then, yeah, you're going to get paid utter shit. On the other hand, you don't need to work for Nike or Apple to command a decent rate.
Now stop the doomsday shit, and get to work.
- 500 CAD ain't worth much these days.nb
- I'm not up on what day rates are like there, anymore. Haven't lived for a long time.Continuity

- 500 CAD is nothing.bainbridge
- Well said. I manage to find clients who want good design even this fucking hell hole of a city. People forget design is a job and your shitty clients are azarkonite
