Depends, does Quebec also have less powerful anonymity laws for people that lets them report on people's first and last names after tearing their shirts and screaming at employees in a Walmart?

I'm wondering where he thinks the Quebecois come from, you know, like, how the french language/blood came to the north American continent. Like what process got it here.

Yeah, tremendous guffaw at that considering how Quebec treats indigenous folks. Like Canada is pretty bad in general on that front, but Quebec gets loving fiendish

Alberta is Texas-lite. Manitoba is probably Mississippi with all the religious nutjobs running the provincial legislature. Quebec isn't really like Florida, however. Depending on where you are it's its own blend of fuckedupedness and good loving luck to you if you're indigenous. The Pontiac is alright but most of them speak English anyways since they're right along the provincial border.

Really sucks for them that they have to leave Montreal. I hope they can find a place to stay that isn't abysmally overpriced.

It's funny cause New France was notable for it's good treatment of natives (we're grading on a curve here), leading to the Great Peace of Montréal. Now we're just as bad or worse than the rest of Canada, with it's Starlight Tours and Residential Schools.

When I think about Quebec french language protectionism, I always think about the lady who was almost certainly bilingual who came into the Subway I worked at in high school, asked if there was anyone who spoke french, then got kinda huffy when there wasn't and made all her requests in very exaggerated franglish.

About 660k in the city itself is the average. Outside of Ottawa it fluctuates but it's still expensive unless you want to live in a dump.

Or you could always live the ephemeral life of apartment rentals

Was it the Woolie clam that bought the place they’re in or was that Pat? It feels like they moved in pretty recently but given the state of affairs as of late it could have been 5 years ago for all I can tell. Hopefully they don’t take a bath on the place.

I mean, sure, but also, gendering nouns and conjugating verbs.

It almost feels like someone wanted to deliberately make it hard to learn.

English seems to be bad as a product of being a bastard language that absorbs things from other languages into itself like a horrifying blob creature.

Talk to older Québécois and they all have horror stories about how anglos used to rule over the Province with an iron fist and when speaking french they'd be told to "Speak White". This is, quite obviously, an extremely exaggerrated version of events, twisted by decades of culture war.

Anyone here ever read the Smurfs? The original Belgian comic books? One of the early books has the whole Smurf village split in two because of rivalry between the Northern Smurfs and the Southern Smurfs and where they put "Smurf" in their sentences. This was a barely veiled critique of the culture war between French-speakers and Dutch-speakers and Belgium. And yet, as a francophone kid growing up in 1990s Québec, it resonated with me.
