This statement constitutes AN AMENDMENT to the statement previously filed on Schedule 13D by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.

Item 1 - Security and Issuer

This statement is made with respect to the Common Shares (the "Shares") of Kingsway Financial Services ("Kingsway"), a Canadian corporation, the address of the principal executive offices of which is 5310 Explorer Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 5H8.

Item 2 - Identity and Background

This statement is filed by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("Caisse"). Caisse is a legal person without share capital and a mandatary of the State of the Province de Québec, created by a special act of the Legislature of the Province de Québec. The principal business of Caisse is to receive on deposit and manage funds deposited by agencies and instrumentalities of the Province de Québec.

The address of Caisse's principal business and principal office is 1000, place Jean-Paul-Riopelle, Montréal, Québec, H2Z 2B3. The names of the directors and executive officers of Caisse, their business addresses, their present principal occupation or employment, and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted other than Caisse are set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto.

Each of the directors and executive officers named in Exhibit A is a Canadian citizen, except Mr. John T. Wall who is an American citizen.

Neither Caisse nor any of the individuals listed in Exhibit A has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order, enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, United States federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws as a result of a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction.

Item 3 - Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The net Can. $1,209,992 paid for the 96,800 Shares acquired and beneficially owned by the Caisse were obtained from the funds on deposit at the Caisse.

Caisse also sold 688,188 Shares for Can. $9,815,368.

Item 4 - Purpose of Transaction

The Shares reported on herein were purchased or sold for purposes of investment. Caisse intends to review its investment in Kingsway periodically, and may, depending on relevant economic and financial market conditions and matters relating to Kingsway, either acquire additional Shares or sell Shares. Any subsequent acquisition of such Shares by Caisse may be made by way of market purchases, private agreements or otherwise.

Caisse has no plan or proposal which relates to or would result in a change in Kingsway business, corporate structure, board of directors, management, capitalization, dividend policy, charter or bylaws or to the registration of Kingsway Shares or their listing on securities exchanges.

Item 5 - Interest in Securities of Issuer

a-b) With recent transactions, Caisse now beneficially owns 2,859,971 Shares including 152,791 Shares owned by CDP Capital - World Markets Inc. wholly-owned subsidiary by the Caisse.

The beneficial ownership of Kingsway by the individuals named in item 2 is set forth to the best of Caisse's knowledge in Exhibit D attached, when applicable.

Caisse has the power to vote and to dispose of the Shares it owns.

c) The dates and amounts of all transactions in the Shares that were effected by the Caisse during the past sixty days are set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto.
