Quebec as a nation...

Acadians east of Quebec are not simply there because they border Quebec, infact Acadian culture predates Quebecois. PEI has a small but healthy Acadian community, as does Nova Scotia. They may be the minority, but there roots go back hundreds of years.

I think the point Tuatara was trying to make is Quebec doesn't have a monopoly on the language in the sense that outside of Quebec being a francaphone has it's own meaning. I come from franco-ontarien roots, so I'm french-Canadian but not Quebecois. You'll hear the same sentiment in every province west of Quebec too, each is home to a historicly rooted french population. All french Canadians share a common culture, but like anywhere else in the world time and geography has given each region it's own spin on things.

 

Agreed also. I have Anglo-Quebecoise roots, which can be rather crippling living in a province which is predominantly based on the French language. However, I feel just as much a Quebecer as any Franco-Quebecer would. That said, it pretty much works in multiple ways no matter where you are. Which is again why I'm torn on the issue. It's impossible to please everyone and every side has its needs.

 

Well, considering that you look like Celine Dion with a perm, I don't think you'd have any problems fitting in.

 

Stfu Thanks ..

Now back to more serious stuff , even though i don't support separation of Québec, i still feel that i am more Québécois than Canadian. Everything has been pretty much covered by the other ''constructive'' posters ...

 

I was talking to Magical Mystery Girl not you and she DOES look like Celine Dion with a perm.
