Ford v. Quebec (Attorney General)

Once upon a time, there was a big company called Ford and they made cars. They sold one type of car in a place called Quebec, which is in Canada. The government of Quebec made a rule that all cars sold in Quebec had to have cool features that made them better for driving in the winter.

But Ford didn't want to spend money to add those cool features, so they said they wouldn't sell that type of car in Quebec anymore. This made some people angry because they really wanted to buy that type of car.

So, the government of Quebec got mad at Ford and decided to take them to court. They said Ford's decision was not fair and broke a law that protected the rights of people in Quebec to have certain things, like winter-ready cars.

Ford argued that the government of Quebec was being too strict and that they had the right to decide what to sell in their own store.

In the end, the judges in the court decided that Quebec's rules were fair and that Ford had to pay money to the people who were affected by their decision not to sell the winter-ready cars.

This means that if a company wants to sell something in Quebec, they have to follow the rules that protect the people who live there, even if it costs them more money.
