Thanks a lot for information about canadian and Quebec politics, tectol. I think since there's a lot of government jobs in Quebec, just like Norway, they need a lot of revenue to the state, which partly could come from hydro carbons.

In our country we dont know much about Quebec. Most known is the separation debate, but right now it's calmed down a bit (?)

Most well known canadian cities for norweigans today are Calgary and Vancouver cause of wintersports.

I understand The liberal party has a majority and then can sit untill fall 2013 if they want to in QB. Its reason to believe the framework and rules are implemented. at that time
