Up until the 1950s or so "Quebecer" just meant someone from the province of Quebec, the main French-Canadian province. There was this thing called the quiet revolution and it had a bunch of negative impacts on Quebec society. One of the consequences was a "Quebecer identity". It also means they whine a lot and hate being called French-Canadian.
Quebecers are the first Canadians, Anglophones should be called Anglo-Canadians. And if you think a cultural renaissance is a bad thing, go back to your soulless "world city" and live like a slave feeding on junk food.
Sorry if I got upset.
If being here first is your metric for what should count as the default, then start learning Algonquin. Face it Frenchie, you fricking lost and deserve nothing. I can't imagine being so pathetic that both other Canadians and the actual fricking French consider you a burden and an utter laughingstock
Canadians designated the French settlers at first, then the English arrived. I'm not Canadian and the French love Quebecers. I don't even understand the pseudo hatred of English-Canadians towards Quebeckers. I guess it's the same as the Russians towards the Ukrainians, the hatred of their mere existence which challenges their vision of the world.
And we are all loser in this liberal world of good thought where everything is uniform.
>the French love Quebecers

Yea, Parisian Frys hate the Poutine-eating mush-mouths, i always heard stories of Quebecois going to France and the waiters would only speak English to them.
When he asked Why? or "pourquois?" the waiter told him en Francais "You are butchering my language" and continued in English.
Is this what they teach you in anglo canadian schools ? I can guarantee you that people here in France don't hate Québec, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that it's the case
English Canadians hate French Canadians because for some reason French Canadians force the rest of the country to do stupid shit like put French on all of our packaging and signage in the rest of the country because they are scared of losing their culture, despite the fact that absolutely no one outside of Quebec speaks French at all and also no one outside of Quebec has any desire to take away said culture whatsoever

Based on what I've learned from the CSB crew, Quebec is a fricking shithole that's full of uppity francophone buttholes, constant construction, and a giant unfinished Olympic stadium. And also the BC is apparently the nicest place on earth with unmanned road side food stalls that ask you to pay on the honor system.

There are several regions outside of Quebec where French is spoken. The English-speaking government has for centuries tried to erase the French language and culture from the country and it has failed. So don't be surprised that Quebecers are excessive on their language as you are in your hatred of Quebecers.
And then how does the spread of the Spanish and Chinese language pass in North America? Are you mad about that too?

I think they should be called Anglo-Canadians and Canadiens-Francais respectively.
>Cultural renaissance
Mon amis, you really need to go back and read history. What Quebec has now is a result of that awful time. Godlessness has made their population collapse.
Québec politics doesn't always fit a strict left/right dichotomy. They have fairly robust public welfare but are very socially conservative in regards to their provincial culture. Much of their provincial policies are paid for with more federal tax dollars than other provinces get for similar programs. As a federal employee my dad kinda hates Québec. The most notorious Québec laws are language laws governing media and access to public services. These laws often make communicating in French mandatory regardless of whether or not this creates accessibility issues for Canadians from other provinces or immigrants. There was also a referendum in the 1990s in which the province tried to become sovereign without having to have its own military and currency. It is sometimes called the neverendum. Not too long after there was a riot in response to rising cigarette prices which was unrelated but still funny to mention.
There's no other option, the conservatives just want the Saint-Lawrence river (the place where 90% of the province's population lives) to turn into one giant fracking rig, NPD are commies, Greens are a joke AND commies. The only winning move here is to vote for the one party that will always support bills which have the least amount of negative impacts on the province without giving a single thought about the rest of the country. Absolutely nothing is stopping other provinces from creating their own localized federal party which sole purpose is to represent the interests of that specific province, and I unironically encourage it. Frick the centralisation of power.
Probably. She is the uppity type. I remember one time she got all offended anytime someone said something like mankind and she would correct them by saying, "person kind".
Quebec is pretty based. They have affordable housing because of french styled zoning laws and they hate Muslims. The only downside is having to learn that shitty language.
>Live close to Montréal >English speaking locals aren't exactly a rare breed >I always answer back in English when they approach me >Treat them like anyone else, why would anyone not do that >In 30 years of living in both rural areas and big cities, I have never even seen a french speaker being rude to an english speaker or vise-versa >Yet people online are constantly claiming that we hate each other's guts
I really don't get it. I have a feeling that this stereotype comes from anecdotes, like people being unable to get uneducated french boomers to reply to them, thinking they are acting smug and above them, when the sad reality is that they are old and dumb and a shit ton of them simply do not know the language. And if they do know English, well, there's a 50% chance they are a salty loser who voted 'yes' on the 95 referendum.
I have high hopes things will get better whenever boomers are all fricking dead.
I live in Ottawa and I'm dating a girl from Gatineau (across the river, in Quebec). I've seen Anglos talking shit about Francophones all my life, and since I got into this relationship I've experienced the opposite because half her family are separatists.
Well yeh, they are related. They were canadians who got especially uppity when you conquered us, and rather than executing those dissidents you were kind enough to put them on a boats and ship them to the swamps of Louisiana.
I cannot imagine how buttblasted they must have been during their boat ride
And Cajuns did pretty well for themselves. They're an example of a society that kept its traditions alive - but instead of being uptight about enforcing their culture, they showed the world just how fun their culture is so they'd adopt it freely for themselves. That's how you "let the good times roll."
Canadians are uptight about culture in general. They're always paranoid of some foreign influence fricking up what little culture they have. First it was Brits, then Americans, now it's Asians.
>Between 1920 and 1960, usage of French or Creole was forbidden in virtually all aspects of life in South Louisiana. Reports from school children during this period expose physical, emotional and verbal abuse for the use of their ancestral language. Often students violating the language restriction were required to write “I will not speak French on the school grounds” one hundred times. Speaking French became synonymous to being uneducated and backwards. The English-only statutes and climate were so effective that native speakers of French and Creole became embarrassed to speak in public and at home.
Les Acadiens were French colonists in the maritime provinces who were deported to Louisiana. I can't remember if that was before or after the Louisiana purchase.
I'd ask you the same question but for british/american english vs south-african english. Despite consuming all my medias dubbed in English, I couldn't understand a single thing said in District 9.
Anyways, considering how many french immigrants are working at my company, I'd say they understand us just fine. Formal syntax and grammar is the same, there's just some local expressions and prononciation differences, and the fact that for a while now, France has a tendency to borrow English words while French-Canadian attempts to create new translated words (ex stationnement vs parking)
Quatre-vingt-dix.
It never occurred to me how fricking moronic and absurd it must seem to English people, I find it pretty based that our brains think it's normal.
Nah, they can get used to it pretty fast, though first exposure is always rough. You could compare it to trying to understand a Newfie's accent first try.
Not Canadian, are quebecers your guy's version of liberals?
They're our version of radical blacks
They even said so themselves

Btw Quebec identity is a leftist concept. French-Canadian identity is not. Adrien Arcand opposed Quebec identity.

Hey man, that's their word
Hard R, stuck the landing.
They’re if Louisianans were angrier
Everyone who lives in a city is our version of liberals
People living in cities being liberals is just a fact of life.
Most LPC leaders / Prime Minister were born or raised in Montreal.
No the English Canadians are our version of liberals.
They are like the Scottish in the UK or Catalonians in Spain.
It's the most xenophobic province

Québec politics is always French = good, not French = bad
No, get this.
Quebec literally has their own political party
Which is completely worthless since it doesn't exist OUTSIDE of Quebec.
>Which is completely worthless
stopping Trudeau from getting the majority of seats is good enough
Imagine if the votes for the Bloc went somewhere less worthless though.
There's no other option, the conservatives just want the Saint-Lawrence river (the place where 90% of the province's population lives) to turn into one giant fracking rig, NPD are commies, Greens are a joke AND commies.

They also stop Conservatives from getting the majority of seats. Now what, cowboy?
Everyone hates English speaking Canadians- when the remember they exist.

Is this just gonna be a thread about Canada in general then? How many of you have actually seen picrel? Mind you, it's pretty obscure.
I have, and I would love for them to revive it as a mixed-media project
Meh, it wouldn't be the same.

Hey can any Quebecois answer this?
Are yous guys related to Lousianians in some form?
I know some Acadians from up north moved down, but thats about it.

Imagine typing something so moronic with a name attached to it
"Cajun" came from "Acadian"
Les Acadiens were French colonists in the maritime provinces who were deported to Louisiana. I can't remember if that was before or after the Louisiana purchase.
Before.
Don't actual French people struggle to understand Quebec French? At what point does something stop being a dialect start being a new language?
When the speakers accept they are different.
Three centuries of separation in my opinion, old Normans and Bretons with their old accents sound like Quebec for me.
I'd ask you the same question but for british/american english vs south-african english. Despite consuming all my medias dubbed in English, I couldn't understand a single thing said in District 9.

do you guys say nonante or quatre-vingt-dix?
quatre-vingt-dix
Quatre-vingt-dix.

>for a while now, France has a tendency to borrow English words
Really? As I recall France has been very active in translating words.
KFC is still KFC in France
>expects them to pay for multiple trademarks
Quebec made them
Nah, they can get used to it pretty fast, though first exposure is always rough. You could compare it to trying to understand a Newfie's accent first try.
Developing and using too many different words and phonetics being not understandable for one another
Duh
That's literally every Quebecer
But her especially
Why are there no naked pictures in this thread yet? What the hell is wrong with your sickos??? I thought I was on Cinemaphile...
Is there Jacob Twotwo r34?
Ya'll are dipping into my nostalgia with this show. Emma was my favorite female in the show.
I would draw something, but I wouldn't know what.
I think its clear what you must draw
They spent an awful lot of time in the tent
What show is this? It looks incredibly familiar
Jacob Two-Two
Cute!
I wanna see an adult version of her with huge breasts.
