"Le principal obstacle à l'expédition de bois de chauffage à Québec," Montreal-Matin. April 21, 1943. Page 6. --- Québec, 20. (B.U.P.) - M. Thomas Côté, producteur de bois, a déclaré que si les routes étaient ouvertes, il serait en mesure de fournir de quinze à vingt mille cordes de bois de chauffage à Québec au fur et à mesure. Il a dit que M. Charles Cantin pourrait faire davantage. Il semble donc que le manque de routes carrossables actuellement soit le principal obstacle à l'approvisionnement de bois de chauffage.

M. Côté dit qu'il faudrait aussi une certaine aide de la commission des prix et du commerce en temps de guerre, car le prix que coûte le bois au producteur ne permet pas de faire des dépenses additionnelles.

Si nous sommes bien informés, la Commission des prix est disposée à aider matériellement dans une certaine proportion.

Federal cabinet minister Pablo Rodriguez is seriously considering a bid for the leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party, Radio-Canada has learned. The minister of transport is being approached by Liberal supporters in Quebec and Ottawa, sources say. Sources indicate that Rodriguez is interested in those overtures and is reflecting deeply on the idea. A source close to the negotiations said Rodriguez could be "ready to move on" after two decades in federal politics. Rodriguez has begun consultations to gauge interest in a possible candidacy. Radio-Canada has learned that he has spoken about the possible bid to his cabinet colleague, François-Philippe Champagne, whose name has also been circulating at varying intensity for several months.

You wake up one morning and the headline in the papers reads "world made of pudding all along". How do you advise the government to proceed?

#my post #congrats lil buddy you picked the single least likely canadian province to do this #if quebec ever does this i say theres at least a 95% chance its just a publicity stunt to get something from the canadian government

Finished a comic yesterday but I'm too lazy to translate it......... heck

#ill get around to it eventually since its slightly political i guess #did you know that the governement of Quebec has decided to implement a “wisemen council” to debate about trans rights #none of the people in that council are trans/non binary and a lot of them have strong relations with anti trans groups #none of them have experience interacting with trans ppl either #and these people will be responsible of deciding if i have rights or not #fun!#/j #transphobia is on the rise everywhere and still noone seem to give it a second thought #i know the trans people around me are suffering #i know i am #but damn. we're just asking for some empathy here #ill probably post the comic with a translation under the cut..........

the french language on countries/languages: if it’s a noun it’s capitalized, if it’s an adjective it’s not, but there’s also these seven exceptions you need to be mindful of

the english language on countries/languages: IF ITS A COUNTRY THERES A CAPITAL

#english classes with french natives is trying to convince a bunch of teenagers with trust issues that no there’s no catch #it’s being paranoid af because it can’t be that simple #where are the useless rules?#where are the silly exceptions?#english language #french language #french vs english #i have a lot of feels on the french language #it’s such an exhausting language to master #especially in quebec where the government is so scared of losing the language that they put the bar too high

“Un vaste projet,” La Presse. March 10, 1933. Page 23. ---- (Du correspondant de la PRESSE) Québec, 10.- Le ministère de l'agriculture va être appelé à aider à la réalisation d'un grand projet intéressant la région de Chicoutimi. Une résolution venant du conseil du comté de Chicoutimi vient d'être passée demandant au gouvernement d'égouter les savanes de Bagotville et du rang S.-Thomas.

L'inspection de la savane a été faite et on croit que 250 cultivateurs pourront y être placés, Le coût approximatif des travaux serait de $85,000. On croit que la tourbe pourrait être utilisée comme combustible, ou encore comme engrais. L'endroit serait excellent pour la culture du lin. On pourrait y établir une industrie du lin avec profit.

Trudeau jokingly offered Trump to exchange Canada for California or Vermont

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revealed how during a private meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump he jokingly suggested trading part of the country for a US state.

Trudeau recalled about his meeting with Trump:

“We started musing back and forth about this. And I started to suggest well maybe there could be a trade for Vermont or California for certain parts.”

The Canadian prime minister continued that Trump immediately decided that this conversation was “not so funny anymore” and moved on to another topic.

Trump suggested that Canada could become a new US state during a meeting with Trudeau on December 3 last year. At the time, he added that the accession could materialise if Ottawa failed to address illegal migration and drug smuggling.

On January 7, Trump published on his social network Truth Social a map with Canada annexed to the United States. On the same day, he said Greenland should become part of the US to ensure national security and defence against alleged Chinese and Russian threats. At the same time, Trudeau also rejected Trump’s proposal to make Canada the 51st state of the US. Reacting to this, billionaire Elon Musk, addressing Trudeau, called him a girl and pointed out that he no longer decides anything.

In turn, Canadian Ontario Premier Doug Ford on January 7 offered to buy Alaska amid Trump’s statement. Ford added that under his watch, the annexation of Canada to the United States will not happen.

Meanwhile, CNN journalist Haley Talbot reported on January 9 that senators in the United States discussed with Trump the possibility of Canada joining the United States. According to her, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin described the discussion with the words “it was fun.”
