yeah potentially though really once they hear you speak quebecois french theyd prolly want to do buisness with you even less

on the otherhadn there isnt really tht prejudice with the ex france island colonies

hm.

tbh its really interesting politically here just because the sort of hyper-partisan polarised politics has been par for the course since the war of 1812

*LOL i mean seven years war

when great britan gained control of new france which is now quebec and essentially said all the french people already here could stay

like theres been a couple close calls where there's been a refferendom on teh seperation of Quebec proposed.

one was actually pretty recently but really there was one in like 1994 where it was like 50.1% against and 48.9% against succeding from canada

funny because then the canadian stereotype of maple syrup wouldnt really make sense because Quebec produces like 90% of the maple syrup in canada

lol.

I wouldn't necessarily sit though. We seem to be in an era of separatist movements. Scotland, Britain, Catalan. This could be the point when something like that happens.

Heck, #calexit was trending for a bit. And state of Jefferson is effectively on the ballot.

And California isn't really that distinct.

LOL if that happens im fucked lol i live in a town that was a hub for british loyalists looking to escape the US so there actually is a large english heritage here

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

or spoke it really badly with an english accent

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
