To be fair, Quebec isn't so much of a third world country as it is a would-be third world country.   :P

The real problem is that it was italian. if the resturaunt was english then the language police would have been ok going after them :P

Problem with that is nobody wants English food.

Tim, not even Gral expects better from third-world countries like Quebec.  I'm sure that the truth of this story is that the restaurant owner didn't pay enough in bribes, so he was charged with the violation of some bogus law created to give the crooked cops some leverage with businessmen.  It happens all the time.
bribes only work with the city of Montreal.  Anywhere else, they land you in jail, as some Montreal entrepreneurs have learnt :)
