I forgot to mention a very IMPORTANT point.
Most of the dams are in the province of Quebec, where FRENCH is
the official language of the workplace.
Your children will also be required to go to French schools if
they are young. Read about "Bill 101" which is legislation to
ensure that the French language remains dominant in Quebec.
if you end up in Quebec, you will a 2nd class citizen unless you learn =

French (and their version of the language is quite a bit different from =

the France dialect).

I see where Australia has 14 big dams, compared to Canada's nearly 100.
