The many uses of PQ

In Canuckistan, the acronym "PQ" stands for le Parti Québécois, a separatist party advocating national sovereignty for Quebec.

Back in France, on the other hand:

..."pq" means lavatory paper - "p" for papier and "q" because it sounds like the French word for your rear-end.

As a properly anglo+francophone Canuckistani friend of mine remarked, the two meanings are really remarkably similar.
