Quebec has officially managed to screw itself over in more than one way, but this time methinks they’re desperately looking for any old excuse to cut themselves off from Canada. And as I’ve said before, I won’t miss it any. But really, can they really find so little to complain about nowadays that they need to cry about the fact that, like *every* other government telephone system, you are given the option to choose between English and French instructions at the *beginning* of the interaction? Apparently they answer is yes, because they are. And I can only say one tiny little thing on that one. Jesus fucking christ just cut the chord and be done with it already. I didn’t want anything to do with them before, and now if I don’t have to bother with them at all, I’ll be thrilled. Extatic, even. And headache free! Say, how long before they go running to the US? Anyone placing bets?
