        Tell a qubecois they’re not real french and it gets hilarious. Took french lessons as an adult and our teacher was from quebec, it got weiiird. At least the flemish have their own thing and don’t give a shit.

          Québécois here. I have never understood when people tell me I am not French. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

          Of course we’re not French, we haven’t been for centuries! We share a language and an ancestry.

          I think most Québécois would agree with me that your statement is just confusing. You’re just stating something like we’re not aware of it.

      Terminally online Québecois will fucking light their keyboards on fire with friction alone. Absolutely wild over here.

      IRL I love the energy though: government proposed a modest increase to tuition so over 100k people protested for days.

      Compared to anglo Canadians who just take whatever they get, I appreciate the Québecois.

      Quebecois are too close to the US, you guys know what it’s like. So I give you that it must be a more common thing to happen to you.

      But we on the other hand would never even consider origins like an American.

      Not only that but a lot of us hate Americans, and most of us have some chauvinism.
