    Get off at the red light and turn right. Drive 4 km and turn left at the gas station. You will see a pig farm on the right. Turn right there and put six kilometers to the road.

    google translate is your friend, btw.

    They cut that PINE tree down , now its turn left at the house with the BLUE pickup truck , you have to be here by 7AM thats when he leaves for work and you will not find Pierre Street if the trucks not there.

    I have never gone to Quebec with a commercial truck... I have only gone in my personal vehicles (mostly Montreal to PARTY!!) .... I would never want to go to Quebec to truck.. I don't understand french enough to want to drive there.. I know your basic words, the signs are the same (like shapes and colours).. I hate that the streets are side to side instead of top to bottom... Very confusing province..

    Like another poster said.. Without getting to political about this... In other provinces we have both English and French on most things (from signs to boxes to tv ads) but yet Frenchies don't.. All they care about is there it's French... In fact just the other day I got a letter related to the purchase of my house, Office in Quebec.. Letter sent to ONTARIO guess what??? The letter was all in French.. What a bunch of morons!!!!!!

    They want to separate from Canada and become their own country or whatever... But yet they still want help from the Canadian Government for military and what not.. It's such BS.. The hell with them let them separate (without Canadian government help)..

    I have family that lives there.. I just think the Canadian French might be almost as snobby at the Paris French... Not all of them but probably a majority of them..

    read some where that if the towns population is less than 60% english speaking, then they don't have to put both languages down in writing, meaning french only.

    STILL CAN'T FIND QUEBEC IN MY ROAD ATLAS.!!!

    Yeah, got a problem with that?? We are in majority in our province, it is normal that everything is in French. When I go to "so smart" ontario everything is in english, then what??

    If I go in China, will I complaint because I can't read chinese??:biggrin_2553:

    Stop crying that it is a bilingual country, it is bilingual only for the politician, in the real life you know as well as me that when you go out of Québec everything is in english, denied it , is like putting your head deep deep in the sand refusing to see the reality:biggrin_25518:.

    Even in Nouveau-Brunswick wich is the only province to be "officialy" bilingual everything is in english, so let face the reality:biggrin_25523:

    Better RECHECK next time you venture into Ontario , lot of FRENCH used , heck even the telephone operators speak FRENCH before they speak ENGLISH.

    QUEBEC gets the BIGGEST chunk of the FEDERAL Goverments $ handouts , because they always THREATEN to leave :) so they do not care wich OFFICAL LANGUAGE the cheque is made out in as long as they get the $.

    Quebec is annoying but as long as they keep producing French girls for the rest of Canada we will tolerate anything from them...
