As an immigrant from the US, I find most of Quebec's government websites to be quite good actually. But maybe that's just my low standards.

Can you still catch a bus in Montreal at 26:30h? :) Used to be able to see bus schedules online for busses STM well-passed the 24h mark. Something about the technology not being ready for late-night busses on the 'next day' being attached to 'today'? Or something.

I believe it's more prevalent in Europe, but if your bus or train departs at 23:30, it will arrive at 24:15, not 0:15. That's deliberate.

No idea if they still do it since I haven't looked at a paper schedule in years.

> and using Quebec as a test ground for it Who are you implying is using Québec as a test ground? The reality is simple: Québec implemented something of its own volition. Nothing nefarious here.

Given all vaccine passport programs necessarily need federal acceptance and co-ordination for them to be portable outside the province, it is a test for a program by the federal government. Few people have any exepectation that Quebec will conform to national social norms and this is why it's being used as pilot project for what appears to be a national attack on civil liberties.

"What appears to be a national attack on civil liberties"

Nice weasel words. Appears to whom?

We can't require vaccination, but we can certainly prevent unvaccinated people from entering the country. That's been the case in some parts of the world for decades.
