Guns and fists as "snow rage" erupts By David Ljunggren

QUEBEC CITY, Quebec (Reuters) - Although Canada is one of the snowiest countries in the world, a series of violent "snow rage" incidents reveal that even the locals have their limits.

Police in the French-speaking province of Quebec said on Wednesday that people were fighting over snow clearing and even parking spaces.

Recent Canadian winters have been mild but this one looks set to break all-time records for snow. One storm last weekend dumped 23 inches on the capital Ottawa and 19 inches on Quebec City, which has already received 210 inches this year.

Quebec City police said they had been called to a dozen violent disputes about snow from one property ending up on someone else's. The drifts outside some houses are 12 feet and higher.

Last Sunday, a man in an upscale Quebec City neighborhood became so upset a woman from a snow removal service was putting snow on his yard that he shouted at her and then took a shovel and hit the window of the vehicle she was driving.

"The woman apologized and returned to work ... a bit later the man opened his garage door and emerged with a shotgun, pointed it at the ground and looked at her in a threatening way," said police spokeswoman Catherine Viel.

Police arrested the man, who will be charged with negligent use of a firearm, and seized a total of 13 weapons from his home. Viel said snow-related fights were unusually common.

"It's happened particularly often this year ... you have to be used to snow if you live in Quebec but it's been a bit extreme this year. People are fed up," she said.

In Montreal, police said a man had produced a toy gun during a heated dispute Sunday between two drivers over a rare parking space. He may face weapons charges.

There may be more trouble to come, since Environment Canada says there is no sign winter is about to end. Snow fell again on Quebec City and Ottawa Wednesday.

Montreal is also having problems disposing of the snow. One massive mound is around 80-feet high and officials told reporters that unless steps were taken to dismantle the pile, much of it would still be there when next winter started.

Well the reason why you probably heard about it yway is because it's unusual in québec to have someone running around with a firearm. So those kind of situation never happen, or almost.

Les anglophones essaient tous de se montrer devant le monde. Sont tous trop fif pour avouer qu'ils sont americain, c'est un complex psychologique. Pis ca aide pas qu'ils ont tous des petits penis.

[Hostage]

My french is a little rusty ( haven't taken it since grade 9 xD) but I think he said something about Americans talking a lot of shit to the world and it doesn't help that they have small penis'.

No. Wrong.

I don't know why everytime I post something in french everyone puts on their detective hat and tries to solve the Farking puzzle.

It has to do with anglophones, not americans.

[Zypher]

well in that case, Dom.


/I put on my robe and wizard hat.

Solve this case detective peppercorn

[Hostage]

I wasn't trying to solve anything ( and clearly I didn't seeing how I got it wrong anyway). I just happened to be reading through the thread and you posted in french. I probably would not have posted if BurningWolf hadn't asked.

Anywho what do I care carry on with your conversation with Smurf.

Sorry.

It wasn't directed at you or meant to sound mean. It's just weird that everytime I post it's the same thing:

"my french is x (x denoting another word for bad), but I think it says y (y denoting the attempted translation), but i'm probably wrong because z (z explaining how they aren't french, and probably passed introductory high school classes)."

[Hostage]

No prob. I'm mostly at fault here anyway I shouldn't have said anything knowing it wasn't 100% accurate. Just that I was pretty sure I had the gist of the sentence down. Guess not, eh. =P

[Fat_Smurf]

rofl this thread is so funny now

[XemnasXD]

why all the hate, aside from mustaches, cigarettes, and wine i love the french...they have beignets, and Éclairs, and croissants...where would we be without them!

[Jstar1]

Ok last time i checked the US was the most arrogant nation on the planet, im an American and im better than you because of that, for many reasons that statement is probably true but never the less its pretty arrogant. And Shopkeepers sell kids beer all the time in every country, especially in America we have some underage members of SRF who can attest to that. As for ppl not talking to you go to NYC and walk around during rush hour and see how many ppl stop to chat or even to look your way....

Those are all very, very weak points Jstar and if thats your basis for why ppl don't like the french then those ppl shouldn't like ALOT of other groups as well...

[Fat_Smurf]

european frenchies smell

lulawlol
