    Random numbers? Oh yeah, sorry… 5 millions French Canadians, 33.5m non French Canadians, 331.9 Americans… So yeah, you’re right, my numbers were wrong, 5m vs 367.4m… Oops, it didn’t go the way you expected did it?

    You’re pretty blind if you don’t realise that Anglo Canadian culture is disappearing, Quebec produces more original content for its TV than the rest of Canada!

    American culture is spreading so much that similar language protection laws are getting adopted in European countries now, same for protection against the spread of Russian in eastern Europe. You just don’t care because it doesn’t affect you, the proof being that I’m here and talking to you in English instead of forcing you to speak to me in french, which you should be able to do in our bilingual country.

      There’s 7 million french and native French Canadians ffs. Random ass numbers lol. Nope it went where I wanted and the point still stands but it just flew over your head, like pretty much everything else in this thread.

      Anglo Canadian culture is doing just fine despite our politicians not clutching their pearls and blaming immigrants.

      You can’t even keep track of what your narrative is supposed to be. If Quebec produces more original TV than the rest of Canada, then it’s culture isn’t disappearing, is it? Write these things down if you have to, you’re starting to contradict yourself.

      You’re speaking English because it’s an English sub lmfao. This is exactly the type of Quebecois entitlement that I’m talking about. You don’t see me going to french subs and making a point of not forcing them to speak English.

        Crazy for you to be talking about entitlement when the first thing you would do when visiting a city in Québec would be to ask for service in English because YOU can’t speak the language of the place you are going to and WE have to make efforts to accomodate your lazyness but nooo we are the ones who are entitled

            Am I wrong though? And I am not imagining stuff, I work with the public, and the number of English customers coming in that are not even bothered to say “bonjour, je ne parle pas français” is almost all of them.
