Changes

In the The majority of the province ([[Montreal Metropolitan|Montreal Metropolitan Area]] excepted), has hitch-hiking is well accepted and commonly sometimes used for by local distancetravelling locally. In The acceptance and ease of hitch-hiking is usually interconnected with the level of community feeling health of the countrysidearea crossed. As matter of fact, it will be common for the people to pick a hitch-hiker in the countryside for a couple of km further to the next village as it is seen as a local way of transportation since public transit is usually non-existantexistent, most of these in more remote areas people will might also belief that you might be act in the child of one of their neighbour need and feel they have some responsibility to help someone from the local community responsability towards the person standing. Less to say that they people might be surprised to notice they picked meet a foreigner and quite flattered and happy by this sudden encounter as it is not an everyday event in the majority of the provincefor most.

Long distance travelling will usually end up being something reserved exclusive to some major destination (such as Quebec-Montreal) or major highways as otherwise most of the destinations are not direct. This said, the scale of the country and perception of what is local and what is long distance might surprise people, 30km is a neighbour while up to 100km is still local.

Hitch-hiking a truck will usually be less common for the reason mentionned above, that the majority of the hitch-hiker are usually travelling short distance or heading into cities. Truck drivers usually stick to the main 'governement number government numbered road' or highways and rarely adventures themself themselves into the cities. The uses of [[CB radio]] is well spread, therefore catching a ride with a truck driver could means that he can contact its surrounding to find you another lift further away.

This said, even if people are well receptive to hitch-hiker (elderly and women included), encounting encountering red neck behaviour while standing along the road (ie. being yelled at, honked or fingered) will also happen simply as people are bored and you became an easy target to a prank. In another situation those very same people would probably react totally kindly and receptive if you would approach them at a Service-Station.
