QUEBEC: How do Quebecois feel towards the French & do they identify more w/France or English Canadians?
-
I landed on some posts by angry Quebecois that were hate filled towards the French. Yet I keep reading that Quebecois feel more at home in France and would like to "return" to France as they feel "historically abandoned" and out of place in Canada. Which is true? I know you will say "I feel Quebecois" but besides that. if you had to choose and leave Canada and go where? Would you move to France and become French? Or would you move to Toronto and become English Canadian? What would be more "at home/normal" to you? Finally for those who hate being part of Canada and want separation, why is that? What are you protesting exactly? For those who are not separatists: what do you think about those who are? Thanks!

Answer:
Our lifestyle and values are a lot more Canadian than French. Our language is actually quite different from that of the French as are our customs. Remember that we've grown without France for over 250 years now. I'd say that most people here identify with Canada over France even if they are nationalists (pro-seperation). I'm a federalist and if Quebec would exercise their right to self-determination, I'd move to Ontario. Separatists feel that the constitution doesn't give enough privileges to the provincial government and would like to be seen as a "distinct nation" by the rest of Canada (or at least most separatists that I know).

lets not forget the rhetoric that wasn't present before world war 1. the french canadians knew a war was coming and said canada should no be involved in a european war. it was the english canadians who wanted to pursue this. the naval service act bill is an example. sorry my caplocks are not working. im on the crappy laptop. the french were more canadian than the english speaking people were.
