Sweet, next time I'm on the freeway I'll go 5 miles an hour since 55 is just a "suggestion". I wonder how far I'll get before I get a ticket for impeding traffic?

That is just ridiculous. Last week I drove through a neighborhood that had these big long speed bumps on the road. I was going the speed limit, but if you go faster than 5 MPH on the bumps your front bumper bottoms out when you come off it. They don't give much of a warning either, the speed bump sign is about 5ft. from the first bump. If they're going to have a 25 MPH speed limit here, they at least need to have speed bumps that you can go over at the fucking speed limit.

The limit is a limit, not a requirement. It's the fastest you're allowed to go, not the speed at which you must travel. Simple fact is that the slower you go the safer you and other road users are. If the speed bumps make you slow down below the speed limit then they're doing their job.



Quebec has minimum speed posted on its freeways: "100 km/h maximum -- 60 km/h minimum". First place I'd ever seen that. Me likey.

Hello. @dotdude suggested this vid of @Throbbin's may interest you, and reading your info above I think so too. Elisapie Isaac is an Inuk Singer from Nunavik (Northern Quebec), and she's pretty good too:

Winter tires are available, but I don't think any state requires you to have them.

The problem in Seattle is 1) the people aren't used to snow, 2) it's usually a later of ice covered in a later of wet snow, and 3) it's damn hilly. It doesn't snow often so there's no real incentive to buy winter tires.

I know in Quebec all vehicles (? might be all passenger cars) are required to have them on for the winter months. I live in Manitoba, and while they don't require you to have winter tires, most people get them because otherwise the all season rubber freezes and your tires go lumpy.

"Elisapie Isaac is an Inuk Singer from Nunavik (Northern Quebec)." I'm more liberal just for reading this title. Nice track!

Ah, Quebec: Canada's Florida!

The answer is obvious to any Canadian. It's Quebec.

Well when pretty much all policy gets dictated by what Manitoba and Ontario and Quebec want. I say fuck'em !

fuck'em hard.

The way we devise representation in this country is pathetic. Based on gross population not square footage. BULL PUCKY.

He was raised in Quebec, but he speaks like he's from eastern *Canada.

>> ^vaporlock:

Aren't they speaking with US accents?
Let me see if I get the argument correct. "Candy or food, you choose. We're giving out candy and you know you like it. So screw real food and eat some candy with us."


Nope, those are Canadian accents. The normal crazy accent that people talk aboot is by and large from Canadians living in Quebec or on the east coast. Much the way not all Americans have an accent like those from in Virginia, Alabama or Texas.

In Quebec wouldn't the students say, "pas/no"?

I had to check this out -- found these on a language forum

"Bonjour
We usually say "du papier-toilette" , or in a more trivial way "PQ" ( i do not know why exactly...) "

"PQ = Papier Q = Papier cul."

Google translate says that "cul" means "ass." Which explains this post: "[W]hen I was 8 and I told my teacher :' y'a plus de PQ dans les toilettes" and she reprimanded me..."

"A long time ago, PQ was used as the abbreviation for the Province of Quebec. I wonder if the widespread use of PQ for toilet paper had anything to do with changing the abbreviation for the province. "

Oh, the things I learn from the Sift...

Get this classy show out of the pqueue now!
(random factoid of the day: "pqueue" is also French slang for toilet paper)<--not sarcasm

Do they not have radio communications in Quebec?

I believe the first two crashes are the same crash from different angles.
And those are Canada -ian French accents, so I'm guessing this takes place in Quebec.


I agree. Only 2 crashes in this video.

Yes, it's in Quebec.

And those are *Canada -ian French accents, so I'm guessing this takes place in Quebec.
