Yes. Nowadays I exclusively shop & eat around these areas. But by next year I will be saying Quebec goodbye for good. Its not just businesses here, the govt services and the police too. I am not going to fund them with my tax dollars.

Good service as in when I went to a restaurant, the waiter said "You have to tip me $10 when you are done eating".

I am a part of a group (immigrant) which Québec CAQ politicians likes to bash/scapegoat when they get the chance. So let me bash them here when I get the chance. Thank you for noticing and sorry if you got butt hurt being a Quebecois.

Québec must learn to walk before they run. Have you seen their Panier Bleu site ? I might as well use yellow pages instead of that.

I got the Covid-19 care guide in my mail box by the Québec government in French only because of Bill 101. Language politics trumps even in case of emergency communications in Québec.

I would never buy anything from this sort of site especially if done by the Québec government. They should try to fix their Senior Home Covid-19 situation due to lack of healthcare workers because of their absurd healthcare system rules unlike rest of Canada. The premier of Quebec CAQ govt. is populist and wants to throw some raw meat to his voter base. The next one will be immigrant bashing.

I totally have the opposite experience in Québec. Everywhere and anything in Québec feels red taped and low of customer service. Maybe I have to speak French. Speaking in English and being non white gets a degraded service in Québec.

Skilled immigration to Canada via Québec takes 3 years in the fastest category. In other categories it takes 4 to 6 years. Immigration to the rest of Canada takes only 6 months via Express Entry.

Québec's immigration system is the slowest, red taped and infamous for its bureaucracy and mismanagement.

They can't even get a grip on senior home issues with Covid-19 let alone have an online local shopping site. The province's bureaucracy has no limits.

Not in Quebec. The healthcare system in Quebec is in ruins with extended wait times and walk in clinics turn off walk ins frequently. Nurses & Doctor shortages are acute in Quebec to the point that retired nurses are being asked if they could come back to work.

Stressful times for temporary skilled foreign workers in Canada & international students on study permits.

Foreign worker visa extension delays and loss of work visa status will happen. Also those who applied for permanent residency while working in Canada are going to see long wait times.

Chrystia Freeland diplomatically dodged questions concerning the work permit holders & international students in Canada when asked by a reporter.
