From Quebec

The Huron village is the only reserve of Indians in Quebec city.. their past has been wiped out.. memories linger on.

All around Quebec universities have been on strike for some time now and students are on the streets almost everyday. They think the increase of university fees cannot be accepted.

Everything here is huge.. even lorries.

Winter is so looooong!
