#i hate quebec

[wanted-game-if]

Those are just my day to day thoughts and English isn't even my native language. I have to translate everything in my head twice before writing then check every weird sounding spelling

English is such a hard language sometimes i wish to only speak french but then i would be too much like Québecers and i would rather die

[ilovebooberfraggle]

i hate the québécois as much as the next albertan but i do love the fabulous rougeaus

Bring hockey back to Quebec!

quebec's language laws have protected quebec in a weird way from late stage capitalism. by no means to idealize quebec, i just don't see it wildly talked about how a language barrier has stalled capitalism.

i am sure there are socio-economic papers written on this. like because you need to have french contracts, terms of service and signage, a lot of american companies and global conglomerates don't go to quebec. like a lot of businesses just don't exist in quebec compared to the rest of canada. like franchise restaurants. quebec has a lot less franchise restaurants. oh there are a couple but they are like very specific to quebec and also just in the more metropolitan areas. usually in suburbs you don't have a lot of franchise restaurants.

this is also sweepstakes. because in quebec a mail in entry is required for any sweepstakes. you don't have to buy the product. also a lot of brands need to have their labels in french so a lot of products just don't get to quebec market

also a lot of the population wants to be serviced in french so they prefer quebec companies. this is why there are quebec specific internet and telephone companies. bootlegging is wild popular because there was usually a lag before you could get english content because they needed to make the french dub.

its also why movie rental stores stayed open for a long time in quebec because they catered to french language dubbed movies. like blockbuster did come to quebec but it didn't have the same chokehold on the market. like i rarely went to blockbuster growing up, there were 3 local video rental places that had more titles than blockbuster because the blockbuster business model didn't appeal to quebec residents. especially if you wanted to rent french versions of video games.

anyway, just interesting to think about

Québec: Calls Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales "Uncle Alba, Auntie Éire, Uncle Éireann and Uncle Cymru" respectively

Also Québec: Just calls England "England"

conn smythe was such a legendary hater why did he spend wwii (WHILE ALSO FIGHTING IN THE TRENCHES IN HIS LATE 40S MIND YOU) beefing with the canadian prime minister for being a pussy AND forcing the nhl to send players to the war partially because he was a raging nationalist but also partially because he hated the habs and wanted their players to suffer. baller

like how do people not realize that doug ford was canadian trump before trump was trump. before 2016. doug’s ALWAYS been a slippery two faced lying POS who’s willing to sell out canada for one corn chip. why are canadians forgetting this. you guys get ONE drop of “canadian patriotism” in your brains and throw logic out the window. your stupid generalized “we’re smarter and better than them/all americans are stupid,” superiority complex over all americans is sending you RIGHT DOWN THE SAME PATH THAT AMERICANS ARE GOING DOWN and you cant even see it!!!
