best thing that could happen to canada is have our dollar drop back down to about 80cents then everyone will go back to work and the americans can get there imports cheaper low dollar is key to exporting and thats what we do like it or not

why would you support a Province that wants to separate from the Rest of Canada.

For the record the province voted twice NOT to seperate. BRP has for the past 2 years donated money to all sled clubs that participated in their promotion to the tune of over a million dollars. That may not be enough for you, but it's a f$%k of a lot more than any of the other manufacturers have done.....

They voted not to seperate because enough of them realized they would have to support themselves if they seperated, not because they don't want to! Quebec would be a third world country in a matter of a few years if they seperated.

Meh some of them are ok, but most aren't.

But I still stand by the point, don't give them the chance to seperate, remove them if they aren't greatful for the charity they get and accept they have no say if they don't pay.....

I spend a lot of time in Quebec, I'm actually in Quebec right now and I gotta say that the folks here are just like anywhere else, just living life and trying to be happy. Don't confuse the opinions of the vast yet silent majority to the rhetoric of the vocal minority. Quebec has suffered from massive political eneptitude, corruption and mismanagement kinda like where Alberta is right now with the weird Eddy government we have. If Doo made a sled I like I wouldn't have any problem supporting Quebec, but for me the best choice was Cat, buy what is best for you and your club. Remember most of Canada is dependant upon a healthy US economy like it or not.

Needed new shocks for my RZR, got a price from Elka in Quebec, the french salesman was more about buying a canadian product than answering the technical questions about the shocks. Called Down south motorsports in Chula vista Ca alot more helpful in regards to the technical aspects. Bought king shocks from him. The Quebec guy totally pissed me off.

Why is the Canadian dollar free falling again this morning. It was coming up nicely then this morning, down she goes.

i wonder if it is because you want to buy a large item in the USA. and the government spy's have seen a opportunity to relieve you of some of that fine cash you have stashed away.
