Damn you, Québec and your stupid Bill 101 *shakes fist*

There are pros and cons in living in this province in Québec.

For starters, one of the pros about living here:
. We have McGill University which is the number one university in Canada

am in ottawa. just to pick it up at toys R us?

[corlee1289]

YESH!

If they're still available, please pick me up the set at Toys R Us~!

I think you need to purchase the game as well, but I'll pay you back for it.

My friend drove all the way to Ottawa to pick up the Scene It game of Harry Potter because, at the time, they refused to sell it in Québec and my friend is a die hard HP fan.

exactly like the one in your post... uh..am not a wii fan that's why i don't know.. give me the details. i'll look at the website. but you pre ordered it you said. can you drop me the link?

[corlee1289]

I pre-ordered the game from EBGames, but because I live in Québec, I didn't get the free Wii clings that come with it.

So I plan on returning the game. I checked online to see where I could get the clings from which linked me to: http://trendygamers.com/2012/02/22/buy-pokepark-2-wonders-toys-us-wii-remote-clings/

Basically, you have to purchase it in person at Toys R Us and ask if they have the clings for it. It's available all throughout Canada/USA except Québec...

Like if you look at the picture in a bigger format (right click and then do "open image in new tab"), you'll see the small print of: Available while quantities last. Not available in Québec

TT^TT

Oh how I know this pain.

Available anywhere in the US.
*Fine print* Not available AK or HI.

[corlee1289]

YES!!

Doesn't it irritate you so very much? "Oh, there's going to be a contest to the Caribbeans and it sounds gor- Damn... Not available to participants living in Québec!"

When you read the fine print it's always "Not available in Québec" TT^TT

If it doesn't have French on it, it can't be sold here due to the language laws. Which sucks because I'm missing out on so much!

[familytables]

Always makes me made. I mean I understand a few of the other state have laws set up with taxes and things like that, so some contest can't go down. And I get the idea that Flying someone from Alaska can cost a lot, but when it's something like Shippinig something to the winners. Why can't they just make things easy.

I always think somethig like that is kind of...stupid. People should be able to buy things that don't have french on them, because I'm sure 99% of people who buy that item, knows what it is.

*nods*

I understand and sympathize your situation, it's because you live and aren't really considered as part of the USA that you're state is ostracised.

Québec is ostracised and exempted from many things because of our very strict language laws. Which is absolutely stupid to the point where the province wants to separate from the country just because we're FRENCH!

*sighs* Politics...

[felixkeep]

wow, i never knew quebec had that much cons. *shocks*

hope you get your controller. you can try that pokemon comm you know (sometimes ppl just sell the clings and not the game :D)

[corlee1289]

I'm secretly hoping someone would sell the set at a reasonable price, thankfully I'm a member from there as well :3

If you ever see it, please do PM me and go: LOOK! WII CLINGS!! BUY 'ZEM!

[paku_romi]

Wow that sucks... Just because it isn't in French? I knew Quebec was very strict on language laws but damn that's rough. But on the bright side you guys have a lot more things than other provinces, unlike here where we have absolutely nothing.

[corlee1289]

We're VERY anal about the French language, even now the news report says: The French are saying that we're being too Anglicized! Stores like Best Buy and Futureshop are too English!"

HAHAHAA~ Sure, we get to have more "exotic" things because we're French X3
