It seems like Quebecois people identify themselves as Canadian rather than French while BC, Alberta and Sakashtechahsjcgas have English, German etc.. Why so anti-canadian, other states?

>Why so anti-canadian, other states? Because they are just US-lite. Quebec is distinct. Quebec is the heartland of Canada. If you don't speak French you are not Canadian. Putting the nationality before the ethnicity is a pretty French thing as well.

For us the difference between French-Canadian and French is clear. We speak different, have different manner and customs and we have been abandon by France for many years. Anglo-Canadian seem to be more attach to muh heritage, maybe because they don't have a strong identity as us.

Northern half of Quebec is all injun so they refer too themselves as Canadian. Franco-phones of Canada don't have much connection to France besides language so.

>>9012859 Not really, When the deep south does it it's because they're stupid and incredibly mixed. When Canadians do it it's because we can trace our lineage to the first settlers and therefore consider ourselves Canadian above all else.

>>9013021 Before the révolution tranquille the idea of an ethic French-Canadian Catholic nation was there. But we have pretty much change our nationalist for something more related to the culture and civic identity now. So it's still kind of recent that we don'base our idea of nation on ethnicity.

>>9013074 If only Canadian french sounded cultured like old english instead of sounding harsh and nasally.

>>9013156 It have similarity with Old French. Seing "moé" instead of "moi" and pronouncing the "a" [ô] are exemple of the heritage of Old French.

>>9012313 That's because the French word "Canadien" has a VERY different connation from the English "Canadian" Also, this is just self-identified ethnicity. It doesn't really mean that much.
