Why are these types of contests always closed to those who live in Quebec? I mean, I know they have their own laws governing this kind of thing, but are they not still a part of Canada?

Les pauvres Quebecois... c'est dommage...

OK - screw Quebec - sorry, not really.
But The states are not included either!!!
Come on, Buffalo is the Southern most point of Canada.
And check out this rule - the contest says it already ended. Huh?

3. To be eligible, entries must be received on or before 11:59 p.m. (EST) on the contest closing date October 1, 2004. Multiple entries will be automatically disqualified.

1. The sole contest points of entry are on-line via The Tragically Hip web site “thehip.com” and the Universal Music Canada site "umusic.ca", commencing on November 15, 2004 and ending on January 6, 2005 at 11:59 p.m. (EST). Log on and follow the entry instructions. Only 1 entry per person. No purchase necessary.

2. One (1) grand prize will be awarded (the “Grand Prizes”) consisting of an Ernie Ball Musicman ‘Sillhouette Special’ Guitar signed by The Tragically Hip. Value: $1200 CDN each.

Yeah I just read them and it says..

So maybe that October 1 2004 thing was left over from an old contest, like maybe the baseball thing?

dumb freaking Quebec laws..

it's also a LAZY way out for contests.. it would have to be written in french etc.. blah blah.. people don't want to have to do it so they just exclude Quebec.. but I don't think it should be much more of a problem other than being in English only because it's under $10000...
