Canada's 300-Kilometer-an-Hour High-Speed Rail Project Gets Another Shot in the Arm
Last week, there was big news in the world of passenger rail. Canada, the one G-7 nation without a single mile (er, kilometer) of high-speed rail, announced that it would be fast-tracking the plan to build a bullet train line between Quebec City and Toronto.

Un très court article sur l'agriculture urbaine Š Québec aux années 1970 (avec, en prime, un bref rappel des années 1930).

QUÉBEC DISPARUE | Les enfants du premier jardin communautaire en 1977
À la demande générale, Le Soleil, en collaboration avec les Archives de la Ville de Québec, présente une série consacrée à des facettes disparues de la ville de Québec. Chaque semaine, elle rappellera le souvenir d’un immeuble, d’un commerce, d’un secteur ou d’un boisé disparu. À partir d’une image ancienne, un montage vidéo vous amène jusqu’à notre époque.

Habe angefangen, diese Quebec-Krimis von Louise Penny zu lesen und.. naja. Ich weiß nicht.
Die eigentliche Story ist ganz schön ruckelig und dazwischen ist es ziemlich trutschig.
Wird das besser mit der Zeit?

Hugo Houle, fier supporteur du génocide Š Gaza, pense qu’il n’y a rien Š juger de ce que fait Israël. Business as usual

In August 1998, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Quebec could not legally secede from Canada unilaterally. The court's decision affirmed that any secession would require a constitutional amendment negotiated with the federal government and other provinces. This ruling stemmed from a reference case initiated by the federal government following a close referendum on Quebec sovereignty in 1995. Although Quebec was represented at the Supreme Supreme Court hearing, they did not participate in presenting arguments. They essentially ignored the ruling and planned a future referendum, which never happened.
This ruling established an important precedent that Alberta separatists should pay attention to. But details such as this ruling, aboriginal rights, or common sense seem to escape their attention spans.

Random Party Distillation on a Superconducting Processor
Random party distillation refers to the process by which Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs are randomly extracted from a single copy of a multipartite entangled state after multiple rounds of performing positive operator value measure operations. In this work, we propose a qubit-based implementation of a random party distillation protocol and demonstrate its efficacy on the superconducting hardware device, ibm_quebec. We demonstrate a 4-round implementation of the protocol, showing distillation rat…

Good Morning #Canada
Welcome to Day #Cinq of The Dirt on Canadian Farming. Today, we are in Quebec, at least metaphorically, to discover how La Belle Province contributes to Canada’s agriculture.
If you want awesome desserts, you have to go to Quebec. They have over 90% of maple syrup farms in Canada and also produce more blueberries and cranberries than any other province. Quebec also leads the nation in the number of dairy cattle and pigs, all of which must speak French by law. If you purchase cheese, and who doesn't, it's a good chance it came from Quebec as they produce more than 50% of all fromage in Canada. Quebec is also a leader in this country in organic farming and has a high percentage of sales direct to consumers.
