they run on loving moon law there. The rest of the country is common law, the peppers are still using the loving Napoleonic code. Nothing worse when you're researching a point of law and find a case that looks decent only to realize it's civil code and therefore useless. Also Montreal was the financial and business capital of the country until the FLQ started snatching people off the street in the 70's and every Anglo with a couple bucks to rub together said "nope" and drove the 4 hours west on the 401 to hogtown. Before that toronto was some bullshit provincial outpost. Toronto still is some bullshit provincial outpost but the people here keep lying to themselves that it's a world class city.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:Quebec is funny. On one hand they have a vibrant cultural scene and Montreal has a reasonable housing market for a major city in Canada. The so-called "language police" is very much overblown... instead of Franaiswaffen going door to door, think more regulations that enforce stuff like a business' front sign cannot be majority english language, or enforcing the bilingual info/warning texts on products, etc. It's really nothing and I doubt many actual anglos living in Montreal or Saint-loving-Tit-Des-Meux-Meux gives a poo poo. olylifter posted:Also Montreal was the financial and business capital of the country until the FLQ started snatching people off the street in the 70's Hey now, there was also a shitload of bombs going off. e: On that note, this is a great (and free to watch) documentary from the National Film Board on the October crisis... there's a part in there that goes over the bombings and that enumeration just... doesn't... seem to... end? The film has a nice history of its own with the filmmaker being tasked by the NFB to make the only one film they're gonna do on what happened (came out in 73), hoping the anglo they picked will have a certain angle they want... Throughout the course of making the film, Robin Spry became sympathetic towards the cause of the Quebec separatists and this tainted the only film the NFB were going to do on the events. https://www.nfb.ca/film/action_the_october_crisis_of_1970/ Bronze Fonz fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Oct 9, 2020 |

Eh, I've got a friend who got sent out to, I think it was Trois-Rivires for a week to help set up a new store location for the company he was working for at the time. Long story short the company ended up having to deal with a language violation and a fine because a customer overheard him explaining something about the company procedures to a staff member in English (because his French is poo poo) and the customer submitted a complaint. If that isn't dumb as hell I don't know what is.

Yeah I didn't account for a considerable amount of the population who really wish it was a gestapo and go to Defcon 5 for the stupidest poo poo.

It has a bit of niche these days for playing NYC or Chicago in productions that can't afford to film in NYC or Chicago. yikes! posted:Whats the food like in Quebec? Do they have Cajun food too? It's good OP. If you can imagine a canadian food that's good, it's from Qubec.

Professor Shark posted:Alberta is the weird uncle who got lucky in the 90's by being an early investor in some company who now thinks they're some sort of Market Jenius even though they were living in their mother's basement before and now all they talk about is lowering taxes and how "no one appreciates the things I do for this family!!!" every Thanksgiving after getting sloppy drunk This is scarily accurate.

I was in the city a month and ago and its pretty much dead. Downtown was anyway. There's no sports (Raptors, Leafs (lol) and Blue Jays) so everything down by the lake is empty since there are no tourists. Bay St is dead since everyone is now working from home. The PATH looked like it was actually dangerous since all the shops are closed and there's more homeless and needles laying around. No car traffic anywhere. Lots of people on eBikes though doing DoorDash and Skip.

Its nice to finally see people admitting this; Toronto is just Diet NYC with worse weather. Everything good about Canada comes from Quebec, which is probably why the rest of Canada resents them so much.

Mafia is always around. Quebec has a strong criminalized biker gangs presence that's never going away.

In 38 years of being Canadian, I have yet to meet a single Quebecois who isn't insanely, mind-blowingly racist, so take my sample size of just me as you will.

Smug about the weather, always going on about "Well it's just not the same I can't imagine living anywhere where you can't see *the mountains*". Basically populated by the kind of dude who plays Ultimate Frisbee and insists on calling it Flatball.

I'm hoping all of the little restaurants and breweries and shops I planned to visit manage to survive the various shutdowns for whenever the hell travel/vacation is possible again (and whenever they let Americans back in again).
