I have "a" question regarding "Canada". I went to McDonalds last night
and when I bought a meal, they had something referring to a "survey"
listed - they wanted folks to participate in and have chances to win
prizes. In that text, they made mention of "Canadians" being welcome
also - except for the Providence of Quebec - I believe.

That occurs often. It may have something to do with Quebec regulations on
the issue f draws. At the very least, participants cannot be employees of
the company or their family members.

BUT - they had also stated someting to the
effect that the "Canadians" had to submit to a "special skills question".
What the hell is up with that? Is McDs claiming Canadians are stupid? I'm
curious as to WHAT type of "special skills question" AND WHY? That text
made NO mention of Americans having to be subjected to the same "skills".
Why didn't they include say China, Japan, Russia, etc.... where other
McDs may be? Why not the Americans? WHY single out the Canadians?

It's not the fault of McDonalds but it is a Canadian statute. Any Canadian
entering a draw is usually required to answer a time-limited skill-resting
question usually a simple mathematical question.


That has to be one of the "dumbest" things I've ever heard of - and for a
"major" corporation to be doing so - is downright weird as hell. It
wouldn't surprise me if the Canadians started to "Boycott" McDs. I sure
wouldn't blame them!

McDs, not only have I been growing tired of your food and last night may
have been my last visit, now you're going to chase people away with your
"Bias". THAT was PLAIN IGNORANT.
McDonalds food is scary stuff - you won't miss it!

I'll buy your reasoning as to the Canadians having to do that "skill test",
but I still think it is STUPID! Oh well.
As to the food, I'm less tolerant of it as of late, thus fewer trips.
