its not cute to hate cultures
Nah, the French know how to keep their politicians in line. If anything more of us should be emulating them.
The French do sure. This meme is about French-Canadians. They are not the French.
Yeah, but it's criticizing them for speaking French.
As a Canadian who understand a few bits and pieces of French I have to say that most Québécois people have been very tolerant with me and my (lack of) French (there are exceptions of course, but not going to judge everyone due to some exceptions).
Sure, things could always be better, and history has painful and bad episodes, but I see no reason to give Québécois shit for speaking their language.
So to whoever came up with the text in the pic: Esti de câlice de tabarnak!!!. Now please help yourself to an abundant portion of fresh steaming feces and enjoy it with a side of partially digested corn.
As an American with terrible French I’ll say the Quebecois are a lot more patient than the French.
The first version of this joke I remember learning of came from Scottish comedian Jerry Sadowitz:
"In 1991, Sadowitz was knocked unconscious by an audience member during a performance at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he mocked French Canadians, starting with the greeting "Hello moosefuckers! I tell you why I hate Canada, half of you speak French, and the other half let them."[27] The rarely quoted follow-up line, which Sadowitz claims is what actually led to him being attacked, was "Why don't you speak Indian? You might as well speak the language of the people you stole the country off of in the first place."[28]"

Things are complicated. For some Canadians, the country really sucks because of its history and how it was made. I'm a Francophone old enough to have lived through the last referendum on separation. I remember the dirty tricks.
And based on that previous history, we respect each other so much that to this day, after multiple attempts, we never agreed on a constitution and just pretend everything is fine.
Going back further, the French speaking part was conquered by England and eventually forced into a union where English speakers had more rights.
So "respect each other's differences" is relative.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention this other piece of historical mutual respect.
EDIT2: I must seem angry for things that happened a few hundred years ago but as I mentioned, the constitution is still not fixed. And we should also mention everything shitty both the French and English did tonrhe natives. We do however tolerate and even respect each other through all this because otherwise we would still be in a perpetual state of war. Instead it's "just" political bickering.
Wtf in bigoted veiled hatred is this?
Fuck culture wars.
According to actual people from France I have known, it's not even "real" French. The way American English isn't "real" English.
These actual people from France can go fuck themselves if they're serious. We québécois have done way more for the language than them.
Ou, comme on dit en français : qu'ils aillent donc chier, les osti de français.
Sorry, this is kind of a trigger, lol
Thats pretty much the answer I got from my French teacher one time, as a difference not that either isn't the real language I mean. Though she wasn't Quebecois or French as far as I know and it was a secluded school so was never sure if correct. All I know is I got up into first year university French course (may have been grade 12 equivalent) and could never understand anyone speaking French at random parties I went to....which would mostly be Quebecois... being Canadian and all. Mostly the talking speed it seems like all the words were spoken like cursive is written, everything melded together.
Mean as much as I hate how Americans spell words lazily (kill the u in ou words, spell grey wrong and make me get the wheel of fortune pc game wrong in the 80s, vana white was not well done) still their version of English.
The Wheel of Fortune thing gets me, too. I have the most recent one (pretty sure its the most recent, anyway) and it is made by Ubisoft's Quebec studio; a lot of normal American phrases and spellings are just slightly off in the game. Probably because it wasn't made by any Americans.
I once witnessed a Belgian and a Franco-Canadian together mock someone from Paris for his accent.
That's the real joke.
Everyone hates the Parisians French but the Parisians hate for everyone else's is so much stronger.
Parisian, partisan means something else
I didn't even realize it corrected to that. Thank you!
I spent longer than I'd like to admit trying to figure out what partisan french was :p
Vive la France!
But according to Les Québécois, their French is the real deal because people from France say horrible things like “le weekend” instead of the proper “fin de semaine.”
