The guy that caused the accident was probably from Quebec

Isn't FSI simply the 2.5 fuel injected engine?
They might be bringing the superior 1.4 TSI engine to replace the standard 2.5 here (same power and torque but torque peaks at a wider and lower range. And it'd be more fuel efficient. Plus the supercharger and turbocharger sounds bring out the kid in me).

I'd been thinking about the TDI, but for the cost you can get a better equipped petrol engine version. I don't believe I drive enough (not on these quebec roads) to warrant a diesel engine for me

Nope. Quebec also have this weird number system

I just want to add that it's only in France, and not in French.

In french as spoken in Belgium (and i assume in Quebec too), they actually have words for 70 (septante), 80 (octante) and 90 (nonante). French people know these but don't like them because "it sounds weird". The more you know.

That'd be just your normal Quebec pot hole

She begins by reading a letter from Brent Spiner to her concerning the bukakke bomb that hit Quebec.

MONTREAL - Eighteen people have been arrested in a massive heist of maple syrup, Quebec police said Thursday.

The accused face a variety of charges including theft, conspiracy, fraud and receiving stolen goods.

Provincial police said in a statement they are looking for seven more people in the case.

The sweet stuff was stolen in the town of Saint-Louis-de-Blandford between August 2011 and this past July.

About 2.7 million kilograms of maple syrup, worth up to $18 million, was reported missing after a routine inventory check last summer.

Officers from the RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement helped Quebec police in the investigation, which featured interviews with 300 people in the maple syrup industry in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and the northern U.S.

Ah, falconry.

Maybe fake, but look around the web to find videos of golden eagles trying to take small humans. Usually by trying to drop them off cliffs in Mongolia, however. Also not sure about Quebec, but golden eagles are found through much of Canada, but less prevalent than the more common baldies. If real, good thing that kid was hitting the poutine enough that the eagle could only get it about 1m off the ground.

True, they are prevalent, but Eagles aren't usually common to Quebec in December. They're usually out in the bush and away from metropolitan areas. I still call fake on it.

What part of Canada do you live in where you see them daily?

Ugh, I have my Quebec driving test at the end of Jan. I imagine it's going to be shit like this. Fuck!

I went to Canada. The liquor laws in Ontario made me want to leave. Luckily, I was driving through to Quebec

Back in the early 90s when Quebec wanted to separate, there was a political comic in the local paper entitled: "7 days of freedom". It had 2 little men dressed in winter clothing, one with a maple leaf on his chest and one with a fleur de lys his chest. Panel 1, the little Quebecker was jumping for joy. As the days progressed he had less and less clothing. On the seventh day he was freezing in his underwear and knocking on Canada's door.
Still remember that 20 years later when I hear stories like this.


I would've liked it if Quebec decided to leave Canada because it would be like gaining another state. The US would simply absorb it, it would become like Cuba in the 50s before the revolution. What could they do about it? NOTHING because they're weak and exploitable. Quebec is full of morons.
