2018-07-17 02:32:10 UTC  

the colonists were english release candidates

2018-07-17 02:32:16 UTC  

english stopsigns were outlawed

2018-07-17 02:32:44 UTC  

ironic because stop was a word commonly used in french after the norman invasion of britain in the 600s

2018-07-17 02:33:04 UTC

2018-07-17 02:34:36 UTC  

there was also this big controversy about the language commision saying that restaurants cant have the word spaghetti in their name

2018-07-17 02:34:37 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 02:36:11 UTC  

Another version of it is "hug the terrorists because they feel left out"

2018-07-17 02:36:13 UTC  

Yeah, you'd get crushed. Probably just relocated or something.

2018-07-17 02:36:34 UTC  

and its 90% francophone lol we are pretty much the 10% of anglophones here in lennoxville

2018-07-17 02:37:05 UTC

2018-07-17 02:37:45 UTC

2018-07-17 02:39:29 UTC

2018-07-17 02:39:33 UTC  

That's languagist!

2018-07-17 02:39:51 UTC

2018-07-17 02:39:59 UTC  

But it's fine, discriminating on culture is ok

2018-07-17 02:40:05 UTC

2018-07-17 02:41:13 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 02:41:41 UTC  

lol i just hate the spereatists lol they essentially think im an abomination lol

2018-07-17 02:43:26 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 02:43:33 UTC  

I enjoyed confusing the hell out of french people when I said to them that i don't speak french...

2018-07-17 02:43:39 UTC  

...in clean french

2018-07-17 02:44:00 UTC  

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL "je parle aucun francais"

2018-07-17 02:44:02 UTC  

I have a phonetic gift of faking languages well enough to pass for a local

2018-07-17 02:44:59 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 02:45:08 UTC  

"oui oui je ne pas. No ne pas un seul mot

2018-07-17 02:45:26 UTC  

The confusion on their faces was amusing

2018-07-17 02:45:34 UTC  

and really learning music and singing really helped me with that, refined my ear for that shizzz

2018-07-17 02:45:51 UTC  

LOL tbh the best part of the french here is the swearing

2018-07-17 02:46:01 UTC  

But it was kinda true, because while i can understand a lot of french i can't formulate enough sentences for a small talk

2018-07-17 02:46:02 UTC  

like all of them are considered as bad as fuck is in english

2018-07-17 02:46:10 UTC  

and also just as versatile
