Living in Montreal, I kind of agree...
Though to a (France) French, it's hard to understand the culture unless they're willing to move to Québec for a few years.

But yeah, the (Québec) French culture is in the art, politics, history, etc.
Not so much in the roads, houses (where everything is also in imperial units!), food (at least not much), etc. :)

The culture that we have to pay twice as much as 100km south?

I guess I'll get flamed for this, but the only cultural difference from the US have to be (mildly) claimed by the french, the natives, etc.
Geographically and linguistically, it's too hard to distinguish if we were to forget about the borders (actually, even for the french and natives in many areas!).

A truely reliable rating system would be nice, but I'm afraid that in such an extreme proprietary environment it would have to be made on the web, independantly to be trustable...
