Allow me not only to dispute your comment but to completely refute it. Maybe in comparison to other north americans, quebecers know more world history but the general knowledge of the society here (yes I am a quebecer too) is unbelievably low for someone who has lived in a few countries around the world. The ignorance about national politics, the economical system and world history are making me wanna cry every time I talk to a quebecer (I do not compare to the average north american because the the situation is dramatic). So if you think that quebec has the "greatest intellectual properties ever", then you're either ignorant, nationalistic or just never lived anywhere else.
Btw, the school system here is incredible (literally)....Children learn basic mathematics and just a summary of world history and geography and can pass to the next grade regardless of their knowledge. But then again the situation is even worse in the rest of N.America and Europe seems to be envious of that ignorance and is trying to mimic it with a fast pace.
