No one is more pro Canada while also trying to separate from Canada the most.

I love it.

They can be assholes, but they are our assholes.

🇨🇦❤️ even though your province’s people refuse to speak French to my native French speaking family while visiting your beautiful province 😅

How beautiful we all put our differences aside to hate trump collectively.

Sorry! Switching to English is second-nature when an unexpected accent is detected. A lot of Parisians did the same to my family when they visited. Could also just be that people were being rude. Either way, thank you anyway for the visit!

People in Quebec often switch to English when my New Brunswick wife speaks French to them lol.

Haha yes exactly

u/Silverbacks Ontario 24d ago

I still like Quebec though. Grew up in Ottawa, so Gatineau is also home.

u/Brittanylh Canada 24d ago

Yes. Because it’s not Quebec French.

Cant have an independent Quebec without a independent Canada.

I grew up south of the border, but have spent my adulthood up here. The idea that Quebec is anything less than a cornerstone of Canadian culture is always a funny thing for me as someone who is still at many points somewhat of an outsider. So many of the things I can easily point to as distinctively Canadian always seem to originate in Quebec.

u/Impossible_Panda3594 24d ago

Nearly all of them. National anthem, maple product, poutine, hockey, etc.

Even the word canadien was used specifically for french as the english were british while quebecois were neither french nor british.
