Hi gang,
Check out this link to the Quebec governments list of invasive species. I had to laugh when I saw that orangespotted sunfish were on the list as potentially invasive! It's actually well done, didn't think our government was able to do nice stuff like this.

Lepomis species are notoriously invasive given the chance, e.g. bluegills just about everywhere outside of their native South. I'm not sure that orangespotteds could do well in Quebec with a longer, colder winter, but you never know.
