quebec arrogance

It's just the line in the statistics, they don't really deal with any of those languages.

Um those languages are spoken so yeah the school system has to deal with them from the kids to the parents.

@LePhillou is quite right, there is a significant population , mostly east of Quebec city and really strong on the south side of the river that are considered Laine Pur , which translates into pure wool . They can trace ancestry back on both sides , 200ys or more , to french imigrants . They are very proud of this , and you can feel the resistance to anything English , leftover from the Nepolionic wars.

I'm "pure laine", 13th generation French Canadian, born and raised in the working class neighborhoods of east end Montreal. We're everywhere - it's not like French Quebecers are living on a reserve. Montreal itself still has tons of pockets where French dominates. But yes, outside of Montreal, it's largely French wall-to-wall.

First Rain crossed the big pond in 1653. The Catholic church kept such good records over the centuries that most Quebecers can easily trace their family tree all the way back with zero effort. Northeastern British/Irish Americans who try to do their family tree almost always end up sideways in Quebec because they run out of documentation for their direct lineage. It's pretty fascinating.

I do not "resist" anything English, but like many of my brethren, I'm annoyed when the rest of Canada displays gross indifference/mild disrespect to the french fact. This was highlighted in a Montreal Gazette comic just yesterday, and it created a stir.

We don't speak our own brand of French just to be cute. It's who we are. I didn't speak much English at all before moving here in 2010. I still struggle with pronunciation - stuff like "rear wheel drive" trips me up.

I don't really get this cartoon. Are you saying that there was a big celebration of Robarts in B.C., Quebec and Newfoundland five years ago and crickets for Levesque outside of Quebec this year? I didn't see any celebration in Montreal when I was there.

My mom always used to serve Rene Levesque salad. You got French dressing whether you liked it or not.

I think that image is from the Quebecer looking out-- you'll always find that type of view from populations dependent on handouts. This is what the rest of Canada sees.

Canada hears a constant sucking sound from QC. Now, this really would have nothing to do with the argument if as to whether one is Anglo or Franco however they are inextricably coupled together.

Federal pandering and QC gaming the EQ payments annoys taxpayers across the country.
