Canadian Bureaucrats Don't "Think Different"

owlgorithm writes "Apple's new store in Montreal has three parking meters on the street in front of it. The city is in the middle of a campaign to reduce downtown parking. In Apple's ever-conscientious attempt to improve design, they offered to reimburse the city for the parking meters and their revenue if the city would remove them. Answer: Non — because 'We've never done it before, so we can't.'"

Typical French Canadians or should I say Quebecois. They tried to separate, I didn't try to stop them.

A better response to the Apple Store's request would have been "... but I am le tired".

they're suggesting they've never accepted money to change the way something is done or not done?

You do realize this is Quebec we're talking about right? The province that ransomed the rest of their own country because they're selfish, whiney bastards?
