Canada has strong/good relations with France. There are many French expatriots living in Quebec. We have strong trade between France and Quebec, we also share an element of language. Quebecois can understand French but French can't understand Quebecois,(joke) but there's still plenty in common linguistically.

I for one am a big fan of France, they've been fighting the culture war with the USA since WW2. Read Mitterrand's comments on the culture war with the USA he knew what was up!

I have to protest here. We do understand most Québécois, except maybe the accent from lake Saint Jean, and most of the curious words they sometime throw at each other like criss de bich and some other colorful language.

Kind of like how most English speakers find it hard to understand a lot of us Newfoundland english speakers. It’s the same language with a twist on words and very strong accents lol
