Hey since those are really popular I decided to make one too ^^
For those who don't know, (that would surprise me 0w0) Quebec is the biggest province (province is like a state) of Canada. It is also the only french province. We have even our own popular artists, singers, shows, movies (like Starbucks) and other stuff like that ^^. We could even be now a country separated from Canada if the old referendum answer wouldn't have been no. Theres something too that we (well mostly only teens, rarely adults) are pround of (well I am XD), our awesome swearing. (Sorry for those who hate curses) No one can beat a quebecoise in a swearing contest, that it is in french, or in english.
Sooooo send questions! uwu

Ontario repping 1st overall in population. The whole Quebec separatist movement was a mistake, if Quebec had gained independence it would be surrounded on all sides by Canada, who i don't imagine would be to pleased. Me and many other Canadians would be up in arms if this where to happen, Quebec already gets special treatment because their 1st language is french and not English like the rest of Canada. Don't you think there is a reason why people who can actually remember events related to Quebec's separation like the Charlottetown Accord are not proud of the fact Quebec might have separated? Not to mention the FLQ was practically a terrorist group responsible for bombing, kidnapping and murdering politicians that opposed them. The fact that the party Quebecois survived is pretty sad (they are trying to pass a law making it so that people working in public office cannot wear hijabs and other religious head ware. Which i guess is ok in principle except that not wearing it defies their religion and the law is clearly meant to target Muslims and other religious minorities.). Not to mention Quebec is extremely corrupt and i feel this picture sums it up fairly well (at least in the construction industry)  - That is the difference in roads at the provincial line of Ontario and Quebec. Not that i am bashing Quebec, it is a beautiful province and all the time i have been there the people are more then accommodating as long as you are willing to speak french (have had bad experiences speaking English, including a few cussing outs and scowls). Not to mention the old cities are absolutely marvelous and i would recommend going to see them at some point. Moving on i always wondered how English is taught in Quebec schools, in Ontario for example French for me was taught from grade 4-9 mandatory and then you where given the option to drop it. (If you took french immersion french was used in every class) I would also be interested in knowing how Quebecois feel towards the other provinces in Canada and our current Prime Minister Stephen Harper. |

Blackbolt: I never said tough that I like Partie Quebecois Ideas, If I owuld have had the legal age, I wouldn't have voted for them anyway. I never saw this picture 0w0, neither went to Ontario so I guess its normal I didn't knew the big line XD Well its real, most of the french one are outraged when someone talk to them in english, but bilingual like me or english people doesn't care if tourist talk to them in french or english, but the real french, oh my talk to them in french or they'll star cursing and swearing at you saying that you're not intelligent and all!! Well atleast I don't but my father does  ( Well actually we learn it from 3d grade of primary to 5th grade of secondary then you can choose to learn english to have a job about that in cegep, so english is pretty important tough. In secondary school if we're good we go in enriched english class (like me) or if we're bad we go in normal class. (Sorry guys in USA don't understand the School system I used but I know Blackbolt will understand it... Well we're okay with the other provinces, but we think Harper is a little bit too much in awe with the queen. (Well I guess you know that we have not really good relationship with England like you're province and the others have.) Whitestar (now a leader congrats!) : Well the sport we like the most in there is HOCKEY (GO CANADIANS OF MONTREAl ! (sorry Snow XD)) and well in my town, Montreal, we have an awesome attraction park named : La Ronde, its really awesome! And well, the rest is what every city have like activity and kind of... well, theres the capital , named Quebec too, that the old section of it is a city protected by the UNESCO and theres lots of great thing in the Old-Quebec (part of the capital) to see. |

Yeah i don't really like Harper either, mostly the Prairie provinces are where he gets his support, the queen on the other hand i am fine with.
