First few results ^^:
Quebecers are known for their festive spirit and taste for celebration. Quebecers are known for their distinct language, culture, tastes and generally for doing things their own way. Quebecers are known for their friendliness. Quebecers are known to be tolerant and open Quebecers are known to swear a lot (haha) La belle nation-inside-a-nation de Québec is known for its restaurants, les «casse-croutes». And to wrap it all: Quebec is known across the world as the place with the highest ratio of the most attractive women, attested by the numerous strip clubs and erotic gift shops, and as the largest bastion of the strong weed and beer on the American Continent.

I like Poles but I have met some Ukrainians who don't quite share my affection for them. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Of course, nowadays we all love eachother and agree about everything in the EU... lol
