Racist Canadians doing Québec/French-Bashing

Examples of Canadians being xenophobic/racist, hateful, bigoted, intolerant, hypocritical toward Québec, the Québécois or francophones anywhere in Canada.

From a TwoSetViolin where the 2 hosts were playing violin charade, trying to guess countries from violin sounds and music. At the beginning of the video, the hosts tell the audience that they are currently in Montréal, Canada. When time came to guess Canada, the violin player played “oui oui” sounds on his violin to indicate frenchiness.

Venant d’un vidéo de TwoSetViolin où les 2 hôtes jouent aux charades musicales, où le but est de deviner des pays à partir de sons et de musiques joués sur le violon. Au début du vidéo, les hôtes font savoir à l’audience qu’ils enregistrent ce vidéo à partir de Montréal au Canada. Quand le temps est venu de faire deviner le Canada, le violoniste a joué des sons qui sonnent comme “oui oui” sur son violon pour indiquer le caractère francophone.

For years, Canadians have mocked the Québecois for having poutine as their national dish. They loved to tell us about how disgusting it was, how it wasn’t even real food and how ridiculous but how representative of us it was to have it as a national dish. Years later, poutine has gained in popularity outside of Canada and lately Canadians have been having absolutely no qualms calling it theirs.

This sparked a debate, during which Canadians of all horizons have taken pleasure in telling us that Québec is in Canada and therefore, that poutine is a Canadian dish. Just like Scotch whiskey is a British drink amirite?

I didn’t care about any of this and also thought that it was a silly thing to get fussed about.... until I read the comments. Isn’t it neat to be told we should summarily be lined against a wall and shot over poutine?

Ottawa Citizen

"The general explanation for such things is economics."

The general explanation for such things is economic, but commenters think "It’s Québec so who cares about the facts? Better make it about French or how much of a hell on earth Québec is!“ “The analysis found that between 2011 and 2016, Quebec had a net loss of 36,955 residents” “Ontario also had a net population loss through interprovincial migration between 2011 and 2016, losing 37,580 people. “ Wait but it’s Ontario so it’s different.

The French (from France) have noticed how Canadians are prejudiced against French Canadians by how they change their tone once they tell them that they are French from France and not from Québec. https://pvtistes.net/forum/we-speak-english-hablamos-espagnol/33050-why-all-canadians-dislike-french-canadians.html

To celebrate Canada 150, Universal Music Canada has released a 6 CDs compilation with Canadian music from the 60′s to now and it doesn’t contain a single song in French.

How a snowstorm exposed Quebec's real problem: social malaise - Macleans.ca

The issues that led to the shutdown of a Montreal highway that left drivers stranded go beyond mere political dysfunction

Another fine piece of Québec bashing filled with lies, false conclusions, and non-sequitur. Here is the most damning quote from it : “Compared to the rest of the country, Quebec is an almost pathologically alienated and low-trust society, deficient in many of the most basic forms of social capital that other Canadians take for granted.” He then proceeds to cite statistics that “show” how Québecois have the smallest friend and family networks or how fewer people over 75 have close friends to demonstrate that we’re socially alienated, which is of course completely ridiculous considering that the most populous age bracket, the baby boomers, was born at a time when unlike anywhere else, families had between 6 and 14 children and that their kids, mostly the X and the millennial, grew up to have a bajillion cousins. The author has retracted a few parts of it the day after and has stepped down as the director of McGill University’s Institute for the Study of Canada. “I deeply regret many aspects of the column—its sloppy use of anecdotes, its tone, and the way it comes across as deeply critical of the entire province,” the statement says. “That wasn’t my intention, it doesn’t reflect my views of Quebec, and I am heartbroken that the situation has evolved the way it has.” Even though he has recognized that his article was a steaming pile of shit, MacLean’s and others have doubled down on it, accusing Québec of threatening freedom of speech and academic freedom : http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/on-quebec-and-andrew-potter-tread-carefully-canada/ There used to be comments defending us on the original article, which was surprising. But they have since then been buried under piles of hateful, derogatory, dismissive comments.

New series The Story of Us is not the story of Canada

From ignoring francophones to breezing over First Nations, the show illuminates how impossible it is to impose a single storyline of our country’s rich history

English Canada (or is it central Canada?) shows once again how well and alive anglo-supremacy is in this totally biased “winners get to tell the story” piece of historical propaganda. 12,000 years of aboriginal history condensed in a few minutes, barely or no mention of the Acadians, French depicted in a derogatory manner while the English are dressed up to the nines...

Context : Video of a toxic Overwatch player, which are VERY commonplace in that game. But of course you’d find bigots to blame it on the fact that he’s Québécois.

You know, just casual xenophobic things. Don’t forget : All Québécois are separatists. /sarcasm.

Opinion | Why does ‘progressive’ Quebec have so many massacres?

My lifetime has overlapped with at least one spectacular act of Quebec public violence every five years or so. No other province can claim the same.

This whole hypocritical opinion. ITT : An idiot who has never set foot in the province of Québec and who has learned everything about it from the media and the Internet thinks he knows enough to put the province of Québec on trial, conveniently ignores facts that don’t fit his narrative and uses a mass shooting to justify his hypocritical xenophobia toward the Québécois. But he and the rest of Canada isn’t xenophobic of course. “The mosque shooting has been quickly politicized by the Canadian left who have seized upon its useful victims to say the sort of things they were going to say anyway: Canada is both a wicked Islamophobic place that must check its various privileges and a multicultural utopia whose pride and empathy for its Muslim community knows no bounds. Rather than drag the entire country along for this tendentious ride, it might be more useful to narrow the focus.“ ... So painting Canada with a broad brush isn’t okay, but painting Québec with a broad brush is just fine. And politicizing it is wrong when you disagree with it but it’s fine when you do it. Read the comments to find out many more ways in which this opinion piece is pure bullshit. Bonus : "Attention Quebec journalists: if you are going to write columns denouncing me, please write in English. I cannot understand French.“ https://twitter.com/JJ_McCullough/status/827335523744129024
