Do Canadians and Quebecers really hate each other?

[Julie4]

As a French woman, I am interested

[RavVid]

I am interested in how Quebecois see this. I think Charles de Gaulle was mischievous on this issue.

A Canadian friend told me Canadians define themselves as not being Americans so presumably Quebecois can unite under this.

Another thing that interests me is that since Quebec was funded 1608 is Quebecois different to current Parisian French. Perhaps retaining anachronisms or perhaps more influenced by English?

[Julie4]

Haha de Gaulle was quite a character.

I don't know, Quebecers have kept a strong French culture, but I would say that they are in a way quite different from France in that they also have undeniably a culture that has adapted to the North American climate.

Do some degree. It's more about the Quebecois wanting to preserve their language and culture. They are very different, and I read that many Quebecois don't even speak English. They sort of do their own thing, and many Canadians consider them rude. They've had independence referendums in the past, but have always voted to remain part of Canada.

I don’t think so Julie. “Hate” is a strong word/emotion.

[Mangospacho]

It’s more like a civilized hatred like you would hate someone within your own family. I highly doubt that they would go to full out war with each other but they’re more likely to be celebrating Victoria Day at different houses.

Quebecers are Canadians so no as far as I know there is no hate. I have a lot of friends that live in Quebec.

[Redstang88]

Mostly yes. They always bitch and whine about being a separate country, and we wish they were

[legalboxers]

From what I remember its all about language. Because its a French Territory, Quebec think they are superior (This is what was told to me)

[Anonymous]

Quebecers are Canadians

[Julie4]

Yes it is true Haha, I made this distinction because there seems to be a difference between Canada beigner in the Anglo-Saxon culture and Quebec which seems to want to keep and preserve their culture and that consequently that seems to create frictions

[Opinion Owner]

Well, if you check out how they “persevere their culture” you might better understand why the ROC takes issue.

[msc545]

No idea. I am far from that are.
