    Quebec also has the cheapest car insurance, phone bills, housing. They have political donation contribution limits capped at $100 a year and they list your name and which party you support politically on elections Quebec. They have areas that actually affordable for the minimum wage. They are the province that’s the furthest away from a 2-party system as the Quebecois actually give the smaller parties a chance of government unlike the rest of Canada where people tend to worship the 2 establishment political parties no matter.

    It’s no wonder conservatives complain they speak French because it is the best protection against fascist propaganda.

      Quebec also has strict language laws, “secular” religious laws that explicitly target “those” religions that wear outward dress, has some of the highest taxes in Canada, expensive cities, militarised police forces like the SPVM and SQ. Make a habit of denying immigrants from non-white areas, and require that you achieve conversational French within 6 months of immigration or face being deported. As well, Quebec requires that any immigrant send their child to French school only, and is slowly exercising the removal of English speaking peoples within the province, starting with education and public service.

      I say this as a anglo-quebecois.

      I won’t say the G word but I can see my people slowly being pushed out of where I call home.

      I just moved to get back from Ontario, and my car insurance doesn’t seem to have changed much. On the other hand, I was able to buy a house for 2/3 or less of what it would have cost anywhere in Southern Ontario.

      We have discovered some drawbacks, but all in all it has been a positive experience.
