Im 5 th generation from Vieux Hull. It’s not like it used to be, it’s an urban experiment and slowly it’s taking shape.So many memories from your drive about, made my day.Thank you 😊

The reason why Gatineau looks so grubby is that the housing was built for the workers for the EB Eddy matchstick plant which is why you see the name and 'Allumettes' splattered all over the town formerly called Hull. The town and others were formally merged into Gatineau regional Municipality (MRC). The river that you crossed is the Gatineau which was the feed water for the flume that brought logs down from the Gatineau hills directly to the plant and for other mills in the area. The plant was located directly opposite the Ottawa river from the Canadian Parliament and clearly visible from the back of it. The city supplies cheap accommodations for students studying and Ottawa U and Carleton U in Ottawa.

Quebec this is a part of Canada where you have to learn and speak French since it's a command native language in this Province maybe English

Something cool about driving through Québec is that it's a bit of a hard line in terms of Europeanness compared to the very Midwestern southern Ontario and very British / Scottish Maritimes. The architecture and city design is very European.

My niece, her husband and their cat live in that then unfinished high rise on Rue Wellington early in the video.

There's a few places I visit in Gatineau. Casino Lac Leamy is the better of the two casinos in Ottawa-Gatineau. Club Pigale at 15:35 (although I'm never going to step foot inside again) and Le Cellier, a fancy French restaurant. They have some pretty good restaurants in the city.

I would have liked to have seen you drive on Rue Laurier where the Canadian Museum of History is located. I go there once a year. Maybe next time.

all of my Americans friends say Quebecers may be nice in person, but when they're in their cars, they act like they own the road, drive dangerously like they're secure in their castle.

Pourquoi quand on montre Gatineau y'a toujours pratiquement personne dans les rues? Ils sont où, les habitants. Les gens ne dépriment pas?

The only thing I like about Quebec are the horizontal traffic lights and the “winged” style street lights. Otherwise I much prefer Ontario…

How do you pay tax if you work in Ottawa but live in Quebec? Ontario tax or Quebec tax?
