It depends if Quebec has already suspended you for unpaid fines or if your license is still valid?
If you're suspended, Ontario will see that your license is not valid and ask you to come back when it is, in order to exchange it.
If you have unpaid fines but have not yet gotten suspended, quickly change your license and you should be fine to drive in Ontario. That won't stop Quebec from suspending your right to drive, even on your Ontario license, in their province. Your file remains in Quebec for life and they suspend "your person" or your old license file, from driving in Quebec. Furtheremore, if you are driving a car plated in Quebec that is plated in your name, it is not valid to be driven anywhere that has a reciprocal agreement (this therefore includes in Ontario) with Quebec, as Quebec suspends your right to drive as well as your right to drive any vehicles in your name.
I recently was impounded for driving with a valid Ontario license in the province of Quebec, all because my car was not allowed to be driven anywhere until the fine was paid.
It isn't fun. Lastly, even if you exchange your license, the next step Quebec will set in motion is the seizure of your belongings where your old Quebec license was registered. It doesnt' matter if the address on file is a friends or your own, they will seize whatever they want, in the house, and then it is up to your friend or family member to prove that the belongings were owned by them. Also, once a baliff goes to your door, the fines double and even triple, for the baliif fees are enormous.
Good luck. Your best bet is not to try to beat the government and just pay the fine. trust me.

Are 3 points for an illegal right on red in Florida applied to New York state license?

The exceptions are alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations, and moving violations committed in Quebec or Ontario. Under special agreements, traffic convictions in Quebec or Ontario are recorded on NYS driver license records and carry points.

Is there reciprocity between Texas And New york for speeding tickets?

If you got pulled in Texas as an NY driver, you will not get points. However, NY will still suspend your license if you fail to respond to the ticket.From the New York State DMV website.http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/dmvfaqs.htm"The NYSDMV does not record out-of-state violationscommitted by NYS drivers in other jurisdictions. The exceptions are alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations, and moving violations committed in Quebec or Ontario. Under special agreements, traffic convictions in Quebec or Ontario arerecorded on NYS driver license records and carry points. Except for violations in Ontario and Quebec, points are not added to your NYS record for out-of-state violations. If you do not respond to a ticket or fail to pay a fine for a moving violation that you committed in any state except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wisconsin, the DMV suspends your NYS driver license until you respond to the ticket or pay the fine. If a driver from a state except these six states fails to respond to a traffic ticket issued in NYS, their driver license will be suspended until the driver responds to the traffic ticket in NYS. Drivers from other states must contact the DMV in their home state to get information about the effect of a traffic violation conviction that occurs in NYS. If you receive a conviction for an alcohol-related or drug-related driving violation in any state, your NYS driver license is revoked for at least six months"I have no idea about Texas. Their information is spread across at least three different departments.

How can you arrange a moving container from Florida to Ontario Canada?

You should be able to get a moving quote. Just make certain the company provides direct service from the U.S. to Canada.
