mtl was absolutely not the indisputed business center of Canada in the 1960s.
Headquarters and capital were already moving towards Toronto by the 60s, following the opening of the St-Lawrence Seaway, the growing importance of the american economy for Canada and the progression of the quiet revolution which saw the province become way less interesting for the old money from the Golden Square Mile.
The FLQ was also most active in the 60s, culminating in 1970 with the October Crisis and then nearly seized to exist in the 70s/80s bar the occasional bombing by the RCMP (see the Keable, Mcdonald commissions and Robert Samson)
The 1980 referendum did lead to what a few economists dubbed the "Montreal Effect", and there's certainly some factual basis to it in the form of the flight of many anglophones from the province, but arguing that the sovereignty movement was mostly if not solely responsible for this trend we were seeing before it was on the radar instead of precipitating the ongoing changes is overstating the case.
That said, Mirabel was a disaster regardless of the following growth of mtl. It was rushed for the Olympics, the plans to properly connect it fell before it became clear that mtl's population wouldn't grow as fast as predicted and airlines absolutely loathed it from day one.
Both "je voudrais" and "j'aimerais" translate to "i would like", albeit with some nuances in the connotations.
The later has more of a wishful quality, more open to rejection. In spoken form, they're mostly interchangeables.
Proprietary or open sourced doesn't matter much if you're not verifying the checksums of all the binaries that come per-installed on your system. If the majority of tech savvy people can't be bothered to do it, then average joe is doomed.
