What do you like about this subject?  Quebec is my home and the place I love the best. I am eager to share my experiences as a Quebecer and Canadian with interested people.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I always enjoy hearing other points of view. What do YOU know about French-Canada? What do you want to know?
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Did you know that Montreal was known as "Sin City" during the American Prohibition? It's still a vibrant and exciting city, and a great place to eat, drink and be merry!
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Quebec politics, need I say more? ;)
