Their accent is also different than the French.

I guess in some ways they are like the French Cajuns of Louisiana.
JMAC
Its not illegal to put up any sign, anywhere, in English but the French has to be alot bigger than the English translation.



If you can only speak of negative things about Quebec then you've never lived in Montreal embarassedlaugh.gif



We speak "Québécois" more like buthchered french embarassedlaugh.gif

you gotta be kidding me. There are dramatic differences. Venture into a french neighborhood in Canada and the number of attractive people are everywhere. Go to an Anglo neighborhood and maybe rarely you'll see some attractive people. It may also be a cultural thing. French people are more stylish and take the time to put together better outfits and make themselves look better.

You can see these differences in theri interior decorating too. A french family's house on the inside is always decorated nicely with good taste. Go to a typical Anglo family's house and the most you can expect is that it be clean and neat. No style or taste whatsoever.

it depends on where you live.

anyone who live in yuppie communities or near universities in urban areas will tend to look sophisticated and cultured regardless of whether or not it is anglo or french. french neighborhoods are a cultural entity, distinct from any where else in canada. those near montreal will attract the more cultured types, who typically dress more stylishly, take better care of themselves, in better shape, etc, which makes them more attractive.

most suburban areas outside of the large urban centers will look drab and mundane in comparison. people from these communities will look less attractive due to the fact that anglo suburban life usually does not lead to a very healthy lifestyle.

I like fat people.

As for french canadians they are pretty chill. I was born and raised in montreal so I have a couple of pure french best friends, the locals aren't snobbish and a lot of the women are pretty sexually liberated . as long as it's safe sex it all right, eh?

I love french-canadian girls. My dream is to marry one. I'll learn french too. I think french-canadians are more compatible with chinese than anglo-canadians are with Chinese. French-Canadians are very family-oriented and conservative. The two also pay attention to style as well as eating right. Many French-Canadians enjoy chinese food as well and respect Chinese culture.

The girls also tend to be more petite and more like Asian girls and they aren't as fat as Anglos.

We had a tour guide in Montreal who was a French Canadian man, the funny thing is they were explaining the flags of Quebec, and the flag of Montreal, but when he tried to explain the flag of Canada he just simply said "I don't know anything about that flag that wasn't there yesterday".

But yeah I also saw some French Canadian girls, they are all sexy. I think they would be more likely to date a Filipino guy than a Anglo Canadian.

your assumptions are so annoying. shrug.gif

stop analyzing people and start chopping some girls. embarassedlaugh.gif

Anyways I love Québec lol. Montréal being my favourite by far because they don't b!tch as much when it comes to anglophones. Québec also produces the best upcoming Canadian music. rockon.gif

Sabretooth is right though. It's far more akin to the French way of life than Canada is to it's British counterpart. Granted, Québec is quite different from France. You can tell just by the way they speak.

Yea I agree. French-canadian women are really unique and stylish. Most of them are so petite & cute! I hope to date one someday. ^.^

French girls are fat.

That's a generalization.

So I rephrase - French girls tend to be fat.

Really? I thought the French-Canadians were the most liberal Canadians. French people in general are pretty liberal, except for the ones in Louisiana, they're pretty conservative.

You're right.

They were the first to remove faith-based public schools. They did it in like the 70s or something. Thirty years later, the only province with free catholic education is Ontario. Hahah. embarassedlaugh.gif beerchug.gif

They also have the lowest church attendances (by far).

Yeah i think it's crazy that Catholic schools in Ontario are basically just public schools for Catholic kids. It's hard to believe that they have that in a country like Canada. They dont even have that in the US. I didnt think that most Canadian Catholics would even care to send their kids to a Catholic school. Ppl dont seem very religious up there.

Sorry i got a little off subject.

French-Canadians are rude if you speak English.

If you speak French, you're like their kid or something. They absolutely love you.

Lol I went to a catholic school from K to 12.

Canadians are religious but progressive. Although I'd say as a group we're more "spiritual" than "religious".

Catholic schools aren't just for Catholics though. You used to need a baptismal certificate to be admitted into the schools but nowadays we have a fair amount of anglicans and muslims because they like the "faith environment" or whatever. Lots of orthodox christians too, but they're closer to roman catholics than protestants anyways.
chymali
^ I'm surprised! I tried getting into a Catholic school and I didn't even get past the first stage.

I'm non-religious too. So I wouldn't be there to jepordize their religiousness or whatever.
ham_let
"first stage"? wtf? embarassedlaugh.gif
chymali
If you get past the first stage, you get an interview. You pass the interview, you get a tour. After the tour, you get to be on the waiting list, and/or in the school.

It's so strict... but not a surprise, because the Catholic religion is pretty strict itself.

Lol no way. A catholic school in Ontario? embarassedlaugh.gif

Waitlist? Catholic schools are BEGGING people to fill spots. They need a justification for their existence since so many premier candidates have threatened to remove faith-based education.

Do you evne live in Canada?

Like French Lite

All the features, similar language, and similar laws as the French, with only half the arrogance, rudeness, language snobbery, and cowardice.

It is like a completely separate country within Canada.

Illegal to put up any sign, anywhere, in English.

Forces the whole country to have bilingual packaging.

Very high birth and welfare rates.

Generally, held in disdain by the rest of the country. ESPECIALLY the Western part of the country.

LOL. Very accurate. I'm in Alberta, where are you from?

Les Quebecoise are the best to sleep with 100% garanty are they are open to everyone....

French Canadians are the chillest group of people in Canada, as well as the most liberal.

I've never seen so many mixed couples in life, and by mixed couples I mean Asian guy-white blonde girl. And it's not even the not-so-good-looking blonde girls. It's decent to hot ones! Quebec girls just have the most open minds in terms of dating and relationships. I haven't dated one myself, but I do have Quebecois friends who are just so wonderful and adorable.

Their accents are amazingly sexy too.

I want to have sex with their accents.

Everyone in the western part of Canada hates them lmao. Thanks for forcing us to take french, jerks. It's not even beneficial to most of us, would be more practical learning Chinese or Punjabi imo (Vancouver whaaaat!).

It's called Ghettism/colonization when a ethnic group take over a certain area, in this case the french have qeubec and the Vancouver and then beyond will soon be "Asia's Qeubec".

You’re an idiot! There are hot girls all over Canada Anglo or French, the only difference is that the French girls dress up more, so I guess in your mind that makes them “hot”. I’ve seen plenty of fugly French Canadian girls and a lot of super hot Anglo girls, so they’re hardly “the ugliest white people in the world” I think you need to look in a mirror, because I doubt you’d win any beauty contest your probably uglier than any “Anglo” or French Canadian could ever be! I think in order to find the ugliest people in the world; I’d have to go visit you and your family! The French don’t even like French Canadians they consider them their backward cousins and they absolutely hate the way they speak French. All in all there really is no major difference in looks between French or Anglo girls in Canada.

Disregarding the women and culture. Quebec is a $hit province, I really don't care how amazing Montreal it is. Why are my tax dollars being transferred to Quebec in equalization payments so they can use it to legislate retarded laws like Bill 101 (The french sign law)? The entire east coast starting from Quebec is just a huge black hole sucking money out of the rest of Canada, we'd be better off without them.
ham_let
Lived in MTL this summer and I gotta say, the rest of Canada can just suck it.

Every day since returning, something happens where I'm like "ugh, fu-k this stupid city, Toronto is a $hithole full of idiots, I am moving to Montréal ASAP"

The only huge problem in QC that I see is that they absolutely despise black people. icon_neutral.gif So much for being progressive.
