Je me souviens

For those of you who are interested, here is an example of the silliness of Quebec politics. The Quebec licence plate used to say "La Belle Province" which means "The Beautiful Province", until the separatist party came into power in 1976. Shortly afterward, in a frenzy to remove the provincial connotation, the motto was changed to "Je me souviens" which means "I remember". Oddly enough, nobody knows what we're supposed to remember. And that's the truth!

Currently, La Belle Province is Quebec's most popular hot dog and fries restaurant franchise.

  3. Quebec used to be La Belle Province and the separatist movement didn't do it any favours.
