Thanks for making my day with the above statement, Sheryl. I love it. And, as a born-and-bred Montrealer who's in the business of promoting local Ontario food, I say bienvenue to A Taste of Quebec; not being a fan of 100-mile eating and finite borders, Quebecois artisan food can be seen as local, too. And certainly sustainable, good for the economy, and for farmers and food artisans who produce fine products. Don't expect me to ever promote foods from south of the border, though. Ain't never gonna happen. ...the Tory government has made references to the separatist Bloc Quebecois that made it sound as if they believe everyone who ever defended Quebec’s unique heritage had cooties.
