Red_Vespa saidHalf the Canadians are French. Does anyone really like the French?
I lived along the Canadian border for 11 years. The French hate Americans. Now I live in South Florida, where French Canadians spend their Winters. They hate Americans down here, too, flaunt our laws, insult us to our faces.
My greatest regret about global warming is that it'll prevent Canada from being covered by another glacial ice sheet. At least it may raise the ocean levels and drown the French along the Florida coastline.

Half? ......
Red_Vespa saidHalf the Canadians are French. Does anyone really like the French? As we used to say when I lived in Europe: "Even the French hate the French."

Aww Red be nice
Well, OK. Actually I like ordinary Canadians, spent a lot of time there, and lots of them visited across the border where I lived. Really a lot like Americans, even the same accent, except they say "eh" a lot.
It's just those French Canadians I really dislike. And I go out of my way down here in Florida to annoy them, and make them feel unwelcome the same way they try to make me feel unwelcome in my own country.
Idea: have a bumper sticker made that says "Frenchies go home"

At least. And they insist that everyone speak their stupid language, under the theory that if you speak French, you are French.
Now as it happens I can speak French passably, along with a few other languages. And French is the lamest way to communicate I know.
No, I'm sorry, but I've lived there, and the French are the dirtiest, smelliest, most rude, most disagreeable people on Earth. And they've tried to eradicate the British heritage in Canada, and will likely succeed in time.

Who pissed in your Corn Flakes this morning. Jeez. The way you describe French Canadians in Florida reminds me of how many Americans are described when they travel.

Quebec is approx one 5th of our population. Not half.
SurrealLife saidI have been to Florida, and I know how the French Canadian tourists are viewed. However, if they decided to stop coming, the wailing and gnashing of teeth from native Floridians would be heard all the way to La Belle Province.

True, but your French citizens claim half of your heritage and ancestry is French. Weren't you aware of that? Else why are you a bilingual country, and must read & speak French in all your public venues?
You are more French than British, or hasn't that dawned on you yet?

I doubt if anyone that is of English descent is worried about their culture being "overwhelmed" by the French. The anxieties are on the French side, and for good reason.

You're a fucking idiot.
And yes, I've voted.
Aero saidWow. And these are people that live right next door.
And have the responsibility of choosing the leader of the most potentially dangerous nation on Earth.
It's gonna take more than a power-hum to cure this magnitude of ignorance.
Maybe the world ought to cross their fingers behind their back and twirl round three times instead.
Once again: Wow.

Canada will be speaking French before this century is out. Because people like you are clueless to what is happening in your own country.
Red_Vespa saidWell, perhaps. And who mentioned voting?

What, I wonder, could possibly lead to such a large-scale demographic conversion?
An acute ocean-to-ocean allergic reaction to the monumental tide of gross ignorance?
Or just the language that it speaks?
