we are the only part of my town that has its municipal news in both english and french
the english are just beta americans...
beta version...
americans are english 1.0
like when the sepreatist party got in power here was from like (2012 to 2015ish)
the colonists were english release candidates
english stopsigns were outlawed
ironic because stop was a word commonly used in french after the norman invasion of britain in the 600s
sorry i mean 1066
there was also this big controversy about the language commision saying that restaurants cant have the word spaghetti in their name
Interesting. Would this part of Quebec be close enough to secede from Quebec and join a larger english-speaking contingent?
@Scarlet It is a meme that spawned from an interview with Trudeau, where after evading the direct answer to whether Canada should bomb ISIS or not he answered with "Call us old-fashioned, but we think that we ought to avoid doing precisely what our enemies want us to do. They want us to elevate them, to give in to fear, to indulge in hatred, to eye one another with suspicion and to take leave of our faculties,"
LOL man nah its a town of liek 5,000 people that actually used to be its own town but like 8 or nine years ago bacame a part of the larger surrounding town
Another version of it is "hug the terrorists because they feel left out"
Yeah, you'd get crushed. Probably just relocated or something.
and its 90% francophone lol we are pretty much the 10% of anglophones here in lennoxville
got the oldest brewery in QC second oldest in canada lol
haha well im luckier because i can speak french well enough for the police to not be prejudiced against me lol saved my ass a couple of times hahah
to think i can be a straight white male and be oppresed by the police LOL
if i didnt speak french
hm. Quebec is a strange place.
That's languagist!
OH fuck yeah thats just a small part of it LOL
im ready for the end of quebec
But it's fine, discriminating on culture is ok
we got great weed tho 😎 👌
to be fair though i know alot of francophones that know english but cant speak it well that love when i just switch from french to english and back mid sentance lol which i have to do to not sound like a retard in french. the english emmersion i went thru fucked my french skills in the ass
lol i just hate the spereatists lol they essentially think im an abomination lol
but if it comes to seperation im prolly gonna stick around unless my parents move, my family runs teh oldest restaurant in my town. not to mention my moms the manager at a sick fucking beer hall. the kinda thing thats really common in europe but rare here with mroe than a hundred different hard alcohols and 30 or so beers on tap
I enjoyed confusing the hell out of french people when I said to them that i don't speak french...
...in clean french
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL "je parle aucun francais"
I have a phonetic gift of faking languages well enough to pass for a local
yeah to be honest i actually had an english accent in french after my english emmersion and like 11 years later i got rid of it
"oui oui je ne pas. No ne pas un seul mot
The confusion on their faces was amusing
and really learning music and singing really helped me with that, refined my ear for that shizzz
LOL tbh the best part of the french here is the swearing
But it was kinda true, because while i can understand a lot of french i can't formulate enough sentences for a small talk
like all of them are considered as bad as fuck is in english
