A few years back, while on holiday in L.A., we stopped at this take out pizza place. From the ordercounter, we had a good view of our car. The conversation with the guys behind the counter went something like this:

him: "Nice car."
us: "mm thanks"
him: "Dont' recgonize plates, where ya guys from?"
us: "We are from Alberta."
him: "Where's that?"
us: "A province in Canada."
him: "No sjit? Canada?" pause "Say something in Canadian."

We looked at him, we looked at each other, and busted a gut laughing! My sister then had the bright idea to answer. "We would like to order a pizza, eh!"

Okay a little history - lived in Quebec my whole life and I'm an Anglo "English speaking" (I actually find it funny when I travel outside on Quebec and they say "Wow, for a Quebecer your English is amazing!" - kinda cute)

Not many people are aware of a little thing that happens in Quebec and I want to know if you know about this and if you agree / disagree with it.

In Quebec French is predominate and the English language is viewed as inferior. Stores MUST have French signs displayed and if English is on the sign... the French wording has to be at least TWICE the size of the English.

We actually have "police" (paid by taxpayers) that go around and hand out fines to stores/bars/restaurants etc if they violate this law. (can actually be a few THOUSAND dollars)

When working in retail, you must address the customer in French before English. (there are SOME not all French speakers that demand that they are only served by employees fluent in French.)

Is this extreme?

Hey there! Have any of you been to Long Point (the island part), Ontario? It looks like a really cool, quiet place to chill. It's located off/in Lake Erie. I want to spend the day there. Are you able to drive there - to the island part (for free), park, walk around in the sand....? Or do you have to set up camp in order to do that? I ask because I know that there's a camp site somewhere around there for which you have to pay.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it!

Calgary, Alberta, Canada has "street direction" as a part of the address. For example, the address "934 2nd Avenue NW" includes the "NW" part, which is intended to show which quadrant of the city the address is in. Are there any other cities in Canada that use this type of system?
To see what I'm talking about, here's the Canada Post postal-code finder:

I'm going to be taking a trip up there soon... most likely in the next week or so... I know that Canadians don't need any documents to get into the United States, but I'm pretty sure Americans need stuff... Thanks in advance

Okay so I'm going to Canada, but not like the fun part in Canada like Toronto but in the middle of nowhere. I'm going with my family who love the out doors and I don't, so where we are there's a lot of hiking and outdoorsy stuff. I don't like the outdoors but luckily I get to bring my best friend along. I just would like to know of any ideas on places to shop or get our nails done you know girl stuff? We're by Golais Bay if that helps!
