looks like I can't edit my previous post to add to it, so here's the rest:

I don't live in Montreal anymore, I'm in Belgium now (which isn't much better as far as contests go), but I still feel concerned by issues like this.

People in Quebec don't get to participate because although they're in the right country, they're in the province that speaks the "wrong" language and no one wants to bother with them. Their fault for not speaking English like good Canadians do.

Good Job.
