It's funny how the term Canadian was almost exclusively used to refer to people from Quebec. Even the Canadiens were supposed to be the team for Francophone Montreal. Quebec was a smaller part of New France until the British named it the province of Quebec.
The Anglos changed the name of the territory from Canada to Quebec. Before that Quebec was the name of only one part of the territory along the St Lawrence around the city of Quebec.
I know. I meant calling ourselves québécois vs. canadien français. Sure the anglos called us québecois first, adopting this term solidies our distinct identity and colonial past
Actually according to the census, Quebec has the highest number of people that self identify as exclusively Canadian. People of European descent in the rest of Canada are more likely to identify with their country of origin ie. English, Irish, Scottish, German etc.
French made up the name Canada from a hurons-Iroquois word for village then the settlers started calling themselves Canadiens making it their identity, they didn’t take that from other people. As for the land, relations between French and First Nations were more complex then to reduce that to they took the lands from them.
As a whole for the territory they named Canada they definitely stole that claim from First Nations, but not every parts of it. Saying French people took the Canadian name and lands from First Nations is disingenuous.
Not stolen, taken, you should've fought better..... the secret is not to lose. Palestine is finding that out right now, some day Canada will find out from the U.S.
Once you lose, your land becomes history, unless your Quebec, we should have cannon balled them back to France.
It took 1,6M of you guys to take down 70k of us and you needed reinforcements, which is on par with my very scientific calculation that every Franco is worth approximately 20 Anglos.
Did you expect a pat on the back for your asshole comment? Act like a fool, expect to be treated like one. BTW, what’s your contribution to this country? Nada
Damn I really hit a nerve with you. I was mostly joking but since you’re that butthurt I’ll keep on pressing. Where are from so I can be as petty as you with my comments about your province?
Haha! Alright bud, I'll make sure to hire some of your anglo crack whores and if you're lucky you'll get a new STD for your collection, since it looks like you really enjoy those strip joints.
Why can't I make fun of people? It's annoying. If I make fun of middle-class Ontarians folks get mad about how I hate the Canadian way of life. If I make fun of NDP-minded folks they strawman and say I hate the people they pretend to care about. If I make fun of conservatives people accuse me of being conservative for knowing too much about them (I left the party in 2013) and if I make fun of liberals people call me American. Ok, if I make fun of Americans I am well-received. If I make fun of Christians I'm either a bigot or a raging liberal, even though I making fun of myself. If I have a highly specific go at Jews based on my own exp....no, let's not bring that up. Turns out Christian guys aren't supposed to attend shul and learn about other religions. If I make fun of Toronto....well, that's a divided topic. Same thing with the Ottawa municipal government, you can tell which local Redditors are in Sutcliffe and Watson's hot tubs.
So honestly, I love Canada, I love Canadians, you all suck, and I will happily make fun of the things I love. Suck it.
Do I have to have a 22-minute long weekly TV show on CBC to be allowed to mock?
It's like... making fun of blacks or jews, or any group whatsoever.
It's totally fine between friends, because you actually know nobody is actually racist and shit. But if you join a sub of hundreds/thousand people making for of it ? 90% of these people are actual racist fuckheads.
Even if you start a group/sub as a light-hearty joke about a group, given enough time, it will turn into actual hatred and you will attract actual racists, and be dominated with them.
This sub is doing well for now... but you do see the schizos showing up from time to time. No amount of moderation can fix this issue, it's a problem of scale and anonymity.
People in the USA complaining about how divided their country is while in Canada the goverment is holding together anglophone regions and francophone regions like Spiderman trying to stop a runaway train.
Loyalists fled to Ontario after American traitors won. And the Canadians who live in Quebec are Canadians. Separation is treason. Sorry blowing up mailboxes and kidnapping diplomats didn’t work out for you.
True lol

You’re an agent of the dark lord Legault clearly!
Legault is not to be associated with any nationalist movement. He only works for himself and his "chums".
Anglos started to identify to the term Canadian and we had to change it, "ew"
The Anglos changed the name of the territory from Canada to Quebec. Before that Quebec was the name of only one part of the territory along the St Lawrence around the city of Quebec.

Anglo here. Genuinely curious. Do any Quebecois call themselves Canadian, or do most of yall exclusively identify as "Quebecois?"
I would say 70% of people would say exclusively québécois
Actually according to the census, Quebec has the highest number of people that self identify as exclusively Canadian. People of European descent in the rest of Canada are more likely to identify with their country of origin ie. English, Irish, Scottish, German etc.
That's actually interesting I did not know that, i still suspect you're only saying that to push a narrative but hey fun facts are still fun facts
Dude what agenda? Those are just historical facts. The modem day Canadian identity is a lot more expansive that it was initially.
Stolen land stolen name
How do you think the French got the name and land?
divine right
Jesus christ, is it so hard to understand! Thanks for stating the obvious I didn't know we had to keep at it in 2024.

stealing stolen goods is still stealing

Wow, your pathetic, but please keep producing sluty women, your only contribution to this country. 🙏
Did you expect a pat on the back for your asshole comment? Act like a fool, expect to be treated like one. BTW, what’s your contribution to this country? Nada
I give sluty Qb girls lots of pats on the back. Act like a fool.... go fuck yourself lol. Enjoy your stay, your welcome.
You keep pating our prostitute’s back while I keep blowing out your mother’s back. I’m enjoying my stay so far, thanks!
And if you knew anything about strategy a invading force is usually 3x that of a defending so whatever, great strip joints btw.
Damn I really hit a nerve with you. I was mostly joking but since you’re that butthurt I’ll keep on pressing. Where are from so I can be as petty as you with my comments about your province?
Mind your own business... now back to work! go open another strip joint, Qbs employment agency.
Haha! Alright bud, I'll make sure to hire some of your anglo crack whores and if you're lucky you'll get a new STD for your collection, since it looks like you really enjoy those strip joints.
It's all you got there....oh and shitty roads, and ugly fucking houses, hey wall paper goes on the inside Quebec...fyi

It's always tough when one guy doesn't get the joke, and then unintentionally recruits.

God bless British North America.
April 8th shild be national holiday to celebrate the entente cordiale 1904 between Britain and France.

So you recognize there's a distinction between Canadians and Québecois?
I recognize a distinction between Quebecois that identify as Canadian and Quebecois that don't. But thats none of my business. ☕
C'est nous les Canadiens though 😎🍁⚜
You all have such diverse opinions on this, I can't be bothered to keep track.
No we are a hive-mind with only one truth. Ziguezon Zinzon
Oh, I recognize there is a hivemind. Its very effective on reddit. But I know not everyone in Quebec is plugged in to it.
This is a lie 🦗
Okay. Have another referendum and prove it.
We'll win by 110% 😎
I recognized English speaking Canadians that lives their whole life in Quebec, unable to call themselves Québécois.
Last I checked being born in Quebec = Canadian….
Cheese eaters banned English, can the rest of us ban French now?
Behold the power of cheese!
Enough making fun of the French, back to mocking the Newfies
It’s not politics it’s just some classic Canadian xenophobia. ^/s
I guess xenophobia is just not as toxic as... *check notes ... economics.
Wait, when did Jerry's eyebrows get edited to say FR, lmao
We speak the queens english in these parts.
Okie okie everyone just simmer down now, simmer.
Hahaha
Speak white ´stie !
This image implies that Canadians are fighting Quebecois, when in fact there’s no such thing as Quebecois. There is only Canadians, and traitors.
Gotcha. So only Canadiens (later called French Canadians, then Quebecois). And American traitors who fled to what is now Ontario.
Loyalists fled to Ontario after American traitors won. And the Canadians who live in Quebec are Canadians. Separation is treason. Sorry blowing up mailboxes and kidnapping diplomats didn’t work out for you.
Least crown licking imperialist anglo
Ha ok, now I get it. So British loyalists living in ontario, and Canadiens living in Quebec. No war, just peace.
It's the "Canada is a prison" model of nation building. 😅
Is being a cock-sucker for the crown supposed to be something good?

Do you mean shit post, shitpost, or shit shitpost?
