Avec des rassemblements similaires dans une quinzaine de villes ailleurs au #quebec et à #ottawa.

Not just pulling US alcohol off the shelf, replacing it with Canadian!
I'm shipping my family in #BC some #Quebec sour beer while its still exotic.
Personally I'm looking forward to grabbing some #Driftwood from #BC and #Propeller from #NovaScotia.
Hmm, Canada's official numbers are really behind local numbers on Measles.
CBC: Quebec confirms 30 measles cases as December outbreak continues (3/3/25)

Quebecers can expect higher food prices and fewer American products as the U.S.-Canada trade war escalates. Businesses are bracing for impact, with some stocking up ahead of new tariffs.
