Yes it is true, we have completed Ontario! We will be crossing over into Quebec today from Hawkesbury and Heading to Montreal. This Route Vert in Quebec seems to be very popular for cyclists! I think we will be staying on it for the most part. We had quite a day in Ottawa, a very scenic ride along the parkway, then up to the Parliament buildings to get a few pictures, down Sussex drive and out the east side on the rockcliff parkway. What we thought was a 106km day ended up being 133km, we took some side roads to stay off hwy 174 (17), it was a little busy and road conditions weren't very good.
So we tackle Quebec for about a week, we are still looking up the word tent in french, but I think we might be able to squeak by with all of our combined education.

Watch out for the mosquitoes in Quebec!

nid d’autruche
In Quebec’s playful slang, nid-de-poule means chicken’s nest, a little pothole in a roadway, while nid d’autruche means ostrich nest, a big pothole.
