Quebec has a rich history of socialist laws (not necessairly a bad thing) and rent seeking laws(bad):

Tuition is one of the lowest in North America

Medical benefits paid by the employer are considered taxable income

Weird laws on lotteries and prize giveaways that excludes Quebec from many said prize giveaways

Tourisme board that tacks on a 'travel agency insurance premium' when purchasing vacation packages

Quebec rental board that is very pro tenants and they can stay without paying rent for many months



I'm ashamed of my province. I'm seriously considering moving south of the border if they don't start to get a little more liberal (not talking about the party here).
