Pretty much lived there and dated someone there for a year and what will say is that Quebec people can be pretty racist to black folks who live there and their accent is frowned upon by actual French people. People in Canada hate Ontario, but there’s a layer of annoyance for Quebec because a lot of people would like to live there since it’s much cheaper but you HAVE to know French in order to work and have any kind of social life.

If that social life has to involve French fakkits, I'd simply not learn the language

Montreal

Montreal is cool but I don't really care about the rest of Quebec. The further you go from the city, the more :mjpls: it gets. You'll also struggle to find anyone who speaks good English outside of the Montreal area.

Montreal is about 65% French speaking and 35% English speaking. The more west you go the more English it is. The area I live in is mostly English speaking and doesn't even feel like part of Quebec.

Quebec City is nice for a day trip(3 hours from MTL), but not somewhere I would want to live.

Quebec almost became it's own country in 1996 but the separation movement has died down alot since then. Most polls these days have support for sovereignty between 35-45%.

One noticeable thing about this province is that we haven't been invaded by Indian immigrants the way Ontario has. The language barrier has kept their numbers in check. Most of the immigrants here are from France, Haiti, and French speaking African countries.

Because you are retarded. The national languages in canada are french and english.

They are doing just fine.
Lol there's really not much French being spoken outside of Quebec and if anything the government did that to placate them when the separatism conversation was really heating up

Every 15 or so years the conversation bubbles back up and we're overdue for it tbh, everyone was able to unite when Trump was talking his shyt earlier this year, but it's coming...

You can argue that MAGA is just unable to penetrate the Quebec identity and they can't truly destabilize this country without them. Hick Albertans aren't enough to tip the scales

I saw a recent poll saying that over 50% of 18-34 year olds would consider voting Yes in a referendum, but we've seen this shyt before. :manny: The Parti-Quebecois are gonna do what they always do; talk about separation to get voted in and then ultimately not follow through.

An entire province in Canada where 45% of the population can't speak English and in past decades that percentage was three times lower:dwillhuh:

That's like having New Jersey speaking a whole nother language while the US speaks English. Imagine driving from NYC and having to put on Google Translate:mjlol:

How do Canadian brehs think about this?

And why is Québec not an independent country?

Nearly everyone in quebec speaks french and english
