I was born & raised in Montreal but I must confess that English is my mother tongue. I was bilingual when I left but that was in 1979, a long, long time ago.

I can still get by in a pinch but it aint pretty... :oops:

Anyway, I'm sure you will have lots of interesting posts about life in "La Belle Province". It's always interesting to say the least. Sometimes when I am back it seems that nothing has changed over the years ( for better or worse ).

Just read the papers and see if you can follow the politics, I know I sure never could! :? :shock:

Viva Poutine, Viva Steamies, Viva Smoked Meat and Viva real Pizza! :D

Maybe I am missing something because I'm not living in Canada...but why does Quebec fall into the " Funny Files " ??
