As the title states, I would like to know the reason behind this restriction. I'm quite sadden because I cannot join my guildies in the Create a Weapon event. Darn! If the reason hasn't anything to do with federal laws involved, then I might make a petition agaisnt this injustice.

PS : If you don't have anything smart to say, don't post.

Quebec, AFAIK, is technically its own country (didn't it try to secede from Canada once?). So it's a sticky legal situation.

It tried, twice. But I'm Liberal, not separatist. It's not fair!

Why are residents of Quebec ineligible to enter the contest?

Canada has unique laws for the Province of Quebec, and those laws preclude residents of Quebec from entering contests of this nature. For more information, you may read the pages provided by the Province of Quebec in English and French.

No, and it will probably never happen.
