Sup.

Though I'm kinda scared because I'm not really good in english, but I would rather just speak english all the time if I had the chance. Much more usefull, and don't care much about the culture or w/e.

you only miss it once you lost it

all the tools are there to learn english and use it whenever you need it

doesn't mean I don't mean french

I was born from french speaking parents, wen to french speaking schools, work in a french environment.

being forced to speak in french to exchange with others, in all aspects of my life, would suck really bad.

Because it is? It's taught in schools, a majority of Montrealers are fluent, the ones that aren't tend to be migrants from outside of Montreal/elderly people. It's a skill that not only makes you more attractive for jobs, if you don't speak it it's actually a hindrance to get one. The people in Ontario that only speak French live in isolated parts of Ontario, and the youth in those communities will speak English.

Says so in your profile.


This shows New Brunswick being the highest. Not Quebec.

If you were born in Canada and don't speak fluent English or even try to learn it you are worse than the immigrants who come here and at least try to learn the language . I'd rather call them Canadian than you

you brought separatism into the discussion. From the whole start i've been talking about language, about respecting, if u can, the language spoken where you are.

like..if you come to Montreal, are able to speak french, even if your main language is english, you speak french.

It will be so greatly welcomed, you have no idea.


Some may think that, but not all. English is the language of business in Canada.

Quebecois are Canadian. And if you give them the option of being Canadian or Australian why the hell would they not pick Canadian?

"Only 30% of Quebecois will identify as only Quebecois." What is this stat? Where did you get that 30% french quebecers label themselves as quebecois? I didn't say all quebecers do

Anyways, I don't expect someone not living here understanding


If you only had those two options sure,

Was an internet survey from the Association for Canadian Studies (pretty sure they're a think tank). 31% identify as a Quebecois only, 59% as Quebecois only or primarily.

I don't know why I need to live there. I recognize there is a Quebecois identity that many would put above their Canadian identity, I just don't think more than a minority would say they're not Canadian.

I know it wasn't the highest percentage, but Quebec has the highest number. For obvious, population size, reasons.
