basically shouldn't be any problem or illegal if you have your card delivered to a post office box states side, or know someone that can receive it. Buy a receiver down there at wal mart (or in ontario, I'm sure someone slls them via buy and sells) Everything else payment wise, like any other bills ...

Now this is seriously tempting. Anyone go last year? What are the fairgrounds like...wide open spaces? Just trying to figure out what the rough camping might be like...was this offering last year? Did people "tent" it? Also, no details on the bus package option. I assume from fixed points...

Get a post office box in Buffalo, and get Direct TV. You would be south enough to get perfect amazing quality, and a channel selection that far surpasses anything available in canada at a fraction the price.

Everything for getting taxed on every single grain of raw mate...

SteveB, The point that I'm simply trying to raise is that when a consumer walks into an LCBO and sees a can of Pilsner Urquell or Budvar in a larger format, for a cheaper price than an equivalent Canadian product its hard to say they should buy local for the sake of buying local. I believe that loc...

ha. Should have looked there, didn't know such a link existed on that site.

Good to see there are buses again. Wonder if the line ups will be resolved this year?

Like to make my plans well in advance personally. Has anyone heard anything regarding the Beau's Oktoberfest this year? I heard it was going to be over 2 days instead of just one? Not interested in all at the Molsoctober one in KW, but want to hopefully catch a bus out to Vankleek Hill...

But then, why does Montreal have pretty good brewing AND a cohesive sense of urban planning?. when was the last time you tried to cross montreal at just about any time of day? urban planning/infastructure is not a Quebec strong point. Sucker to drive there. Let us agree to say Toronto needs a car, ...

There are some definite standouts in quebec, but...
