    Quebecois innit.

    They're like the French but without a decent culture and the only thing admirable about the French is their culture.

    I've always thought the English (and latterly the non-French Canadians) were too soft on them. Indulging their French-speaking nonsense and letting the cheeky sods bang on about independence - ridicules. Look where it's got them - two Trudeaus as Prime Ministers and everything has to be in two different languages, ffs!

    They should have persecuted them savagely and forced them to assimilate. I'd have flogged them within an inch of their lives.

    Yes, I would have assumed that was your position.

    Someone once told me when I was a young man in Canada 'always remember, the Quebecois are Latins, they want to be led' - so the thing is the buggers are 25% of the population and they tend to vote en bloc. So all politicians tend to try and placate them or they think they have no chance of being elected.

    Hence why virtually ever Canadian PM is bilingual.

    Culture is quite a major thing tbf. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity is quite stirring too IMO.

    Then there's the baguettes. Some good footballers down the years. And one sublime manager, even if he was a leetle beet German. The women can be fun, if a little mad at times.

    Not so keen on the chansons though, and the snail-scoffing can phuck right off imo.

    Madness. Did Wolfe die on the Plains of Abraham just so a bunch of frogs could put themselves about pretending to be important? No, he did not.

    Yes, they're good at the rhetoric, but the actual outcome of their Liberty, Equality and Fraternity was a decade of domestic terror culminating in a military dictatorship that plunged Europe into nearly 20 years of total war. That was followed, of course, by half a century of more kings, more revolutions, another Emperor and eventually getting their arses handed to them by the Germans.

    You have to be careful with that one, Fash. Some of them take that one awfully seriously.

    Still, I can forgive them as they are responsible for poutine, the greatest comfort food in the world
