Toujours la même histoire due a loto Québec et son monopole. Google fait pareil avec ses concours.

Luka is partially correct. The problem is not Loto-Quebec specifically, but the government regulations under which Loto-Quebec and other contests operate. Those regulations require the contest sponsor to do things like register the contest with the government, pay a fee to the government equal to 10% of the prize value, grant the government the right to change the contest rules, and file a report with the Quebec government after the contest is over.

The result is that 80% of the contests that are open to other Canadians are not open to people in Quebec. Think about it; imagine you’re a company in New York or California and you want to run a contest across North America. Everybody welcomes it EXCEPT Quebec, who insists you do all this extra work and pay extra fees. The result is most of those companys say FUCK THAT and simply print “not open to residents of Quebec” in the rules.
Another example of our government “protecting” us by building walls and keeping us locked inside.

Et pour avoir déjà fait affaire avec cet organisme disons que ils ne sont pas pressés en général, sauf pour renvoyer un formulaire s’ils réussissent à y trouver le quart de la moitié d’une case mal remplie. Je soupçonne qu’on y case les fonctionnaires maladivement maniaques ;-)

@Offtopic : attention, parler de dégénérés sous un article traitant du Québec, ça peut être mal interprété.

Ils doivent bien se marrer chez Israel Corp. à inventer des conneries pareilles. Je crois que je ne connais que Dieudonné qui peut rire avec un pareil cynisme.
@maxime: les dégénérés, ce sont les pédés, pas les canadiens ;) D’ailleurs, chuis sûr que si le figaro faisait un vote “Faut-il légaliser le mariage entre canadiens ?”, les éclairés lecteurs du Figaro répondraient “oui” à 72%, sans voir dans la question qu’il manque les canadiennes.
