Actually, I'm referring to the attitude shown toward the Quebecois and Francophones by many folk on this board.
Unless you're going to pretend it don't happen, in which case I'll wish you a lovely evening.
The Quebecois deserve every bit of shit they get bud. There's a difference between the Quebecois and French-Canadians. French-Canadians are, by and large, French speaking Canadians. The Quebecois, on the other hand, do NOT consider themselves to be Canadian except when it comes to federal handouts and traveling abroad. Quebecois only refer to themselves as Canadian when it's convenient for them. It isn't "French-Canadians" so much as the Quebecois that cause the problems.
Keep in mind, the Bloc Quebecois that threatened to put forward a motion to kill Teck, is just a reincarnation of the SAME Bloc Quebecois that blocked almost every Federal plan for the East Coast after the cod fish went to shit. They weren't going to let Ottawa spend money elsewhere unless Quebec was getting something out of too.
The Bloc Quebecois simply refuse to play nice with the ROC. So why should the ROC give one rat's ass about the stupid c*nts? They deserve every bit of attitude from the ROC they get.
Even our little potato is Quebecois and NOT a Canadian. Two quotes from Groper: "Canada belongs to Quebec", and "Quebecers are better than Canadians". That sums up the Quebecois attitude in general. So you'll have to excuse me if I fail to shed a tear for the asshole Quebec nationalists.
