Quebec: Canada's Louisiana Or Alabama Or Whatever

That Quebec does corruption well is no secret. I don't know if we're worse or better than most jurisdictions but if I had to guess based on experience I'd say we're up there.

And if we're not racketeering we politicize. It's our idea of running a just and functional society.

Quebec decided, in its infinite wisdom, that all exams needed to get a license to sell mortgages, real estate etc. should be in French only. For the 10% or 15% of us who don't use French as a first language too bad. In English universities they allow French-Canadians to write their exams in their mother tongue but Quebec society being what it is isn't interested in returning the favor.

After all, it's 'French' here.

Anyway, I know a few people who simply went to Ontario and will eventually move there.

It's unfortunate. Real estate and mortgages are fucking sales jobs. There should never be a language requirement to sell. Jesus, let people freely move about for fuck sakes.

Free you say? In Quebec? Perish the thought! En francais and shut up!

Oh, about the racket. It costs $670 to take the exam here.

50 bucks in Ontario.

Makes me wonder if Quebec has come up with a magic formula or innovated new sales techniques in mortgages and real estate to justify that outrageous price.

Right.

It's not about innovation.

It's about bull shit.
