The law used to be no turn on red light ONLY in the province of Quebec. NOT CANADA ! ! !
That law has now changed ! ! Only On the Island of Montreal does not permit right on red. Good call LadyK.

Actually this is still true in Quebec City. Most of downtown you can’t turn right on reds, and the the rest of the city if you are going to turn onto a main road, you can’t do it on a red either (typically between 7am and 10pm).
