I hear you. As a Quebec resident, I've been getting screwed all my life by these restrictions on contests. I don't even know why we're listed there alongside Kim Jong-il, Ahmadinejad and Castro. There's probably some law somewhere that the government of Quebec voted, but I don't know what it is.
"A Competitor is not eligible for this Competition if he/she is a resident of the Quebec province of Canada, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan or Syria."
- wlesieutre 14y agohttp://contests.about.com/od/sweepstakes101/f/VoidinQuebec.htm http://contests.about.com/od/sweepstakes101/f/VoidinQuebec.h... summarizes it pretty well. The contest laws there make it a lot more work (and more expensive). Especially for sweepstakes where they're just randomly giving away free stuff (rather than competitions like this), it makes more sense to just exclude it instead of dealing with their laws.
