Seriously, though, Emn, are you just fucking around or are you genuinely curious?
Meh. A tad interested. Are the cultures different between Quebec and the rest of Canada? Like, really different. Not 'California is different compared to Texas olol' different.
They speak a different language, have their own film, music, and television industries that create content that no one else on the continent watches or listens to, have a distinct history being the descendants of French colonies on the continent, have their own cuisines, traditions, idioms, slang, and swear words
so
yeah
Their own films and television? Quebec types all speak English and French but prefer French, correct? They're not so nuts that they refuse to learn English, right?
...
why would that be nuts in a Francophone region?
I assume he's thinking because if the majority of the country you live in speaks a language it might be a good idea to have a familiarity with it?
Quebec is huge, though.
It's not like we're talking about a dinky little area with a language quirk, where at some point you're going to have to interact in a language other than your own in the course of your day-to-day life.
No I get that
But as someone who doesn't have a lot of patience for nationalism
nationalism when you aren't even a nation irk's me even more
Actually, Quebec is considered a nation-within-a-nation.
Ok I'm not going to delve into "nation-within-a-nation" because that's not what bugs me about this. It's not about Quebec at all except that the way Quebec is described, as an outsider, it always seems like a good example of the thing I really dislike, which is the divisiveness.
It's that being proud that you are less able to communicate with the other people in your own nation, being proud that you are separate from them, being proud that you aren't them is a fucking poisonous, atrocious, attitude to hold. And "culture" doesn't cut it with me as an excuse for it.
This is something that happens with great regularity in the US and it's something I've grown to have utterly no patience for over time.
Don't you besmirch the Danish. They make the best pastries.
The Best.
Kringle
The traditional symbol of fine bakeries in Denmark. Pretzel shaped, made of buttery danish pastry filled with a "mazarine" almond filling, custard and raisins, topped with sliced almonds and a touch of sugar to finish.

You'd love Britain. We speak hundreds of different dialects, and several languages are important, depending on region.
There's nothing wrong with being proud to be different. Conformity is not the only possible way we can all get along.
I figure I could take a bear.

Being proud of who you are is a lot different than being proud that you're not one of them.

its one thing to be like IM DIFFERENT AND THATS COOL
its another thing to be IM DIFFERENT AND THATS WHY I DONT LEARN YOUR LANGUAGE THUS CUTTING MYSELF OFF FROM COMMUNICATING WITH YOU
because taken both ways its just shit. and lets be honest, ethnic nationalism (which this type of stuff often boils down to) basically NEVER has good results.

What a new and clever joke! Still, beats people confusing Dutch/Danish I guess.
Also: in Danish, danishes are called viennese bread, wienerbrød.
Yeah and I speak poundcake.
You liar.
If you're going to make up a language, at least have it sound real.
Although, I do speak poundcake. Ladies.

So what do the Austrians call danishes?
Yeah...
