Why did the Anglos treat them so badly? They even attempted multiple times to snuff out their culture, and assimilate them (similarly with the natives)!
No wonder the Quebecois hate the rest of Canada.
Canada will be turning 150 years old this year, what should the rest of Canada do in order to mend this broken relationship?

Is it true that Quebec imports Francophone Africans in order to preserve their language and culture from le eternal Anglo?
He's still a frog
Should have butchered everyone in that province. Far too nice too them.
anyone who can speak french automatically gets more points and therefore can get in easier (unfortunately)
Give them autonomy, Québec > the rest of Canada as far as I'm concerned.
No, but there are refugees and immigrants in Canada, Québec included. Africans speak caca French anyway so it would defeat the purpose.
Almost
Québec = Maritimes > the rest of ""Canada""
the french give us shit all the time for how we speak french but the africans are at least 10000 times worse
out of all conquered british territories the quebecwah were treated the best
prove me wrong
N-no don't lump us Ontarians with western Canada, we will be good I swear!
Africans go to France.
Here we get Haitians
We aren't french m8.
Frenchmen live in France

They sent many of them to the American deep south. Truly a fate worse than death
why is this such a common meme among anglo cucknadians?
inb4 the 150th is just a bunch of propaganda about how beautiful and peaceful canada has always been and the french and indians just love being part of one big family
you're the one making the claim, you're the one supposed to back it.
French and Indians did support the British during the War of 1812, the Voltigeurs were among the Canada's best and most dependable soldiers. Québec also supported confederation long before New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
the fact that they're a conquered people and were allowed to keep their culture, religion, and laws
the fact that they receive billions of dollars in transfer payments each year and every politician has to pander to them
they are recognized as a nation within canada and are given special privileges with regards to laws and the constitution
they should have declared allegiance to britain, they would still be there
they could have been genocided
>they should have declared allegiance to britain, they would still be there
typical anglo mentality
it's a doggy dog world m8
>They even attempted multiple times to snuff out their culture, and assimilate them
No. Canada never made any concentrated attempts at assimilating Francophones. Quebec's language has been respected, constitutionally and in practice, since before Confederation. Your grandpa telling you that an Anglo was mean to him once is not oppression.
They didn't give those rights and protections willingly, they had no choice. It's not until well into the 20th century that Anglos even start considering making concessions to the Francophone population willingly.

i really am curious though, what do they teach to anglos in school? what causes them to have such a warped perception of history where they never did any harm to anyone?
>Quebec's language has been respected
>Quebec
>Regulation 17 (French: Règlement 17) was a regulation of the Ontario Conservative government
>Ontario
If I'm not mistaken, Ontario is a different province from Quebec. You're both just as awful, though, don't worry about that part.
Are Canadian frogs Scotland tier when it comes to pretending to have been oppressed?
There was literally a test oath required to have any job that wasn't "grueling labour sure to put you in an early grave." It demanded fluent English, an oath of allegiance to the crown, and the renunciation of Catholicism.
That certainly looks a lot like an effort to get rid of the French language and the Catholic faith.
Canada really would've been better of as a francophone country.
I reiterate: Canada, i.e. the federal government of Canada, has never made any concentrated attempts at assimilating Franocophones. The worst that has happened that the Canadiens could call oppression is containing the French language to Quebec itself—which isn't oppressive to Quebec, but to Franocophones in the RoC.
Hell, Quebec's (and therefore Francophones') over-representation in Canada has existed predating Confederation. The Act of Union gave Upper and Lower Canada equal representation even as Anglophones began to strongly outnumber Francophones. Quebec has been coddled since the middle of the 19th century.
Worse. They have been massively over-represented and given special treatment for 150 years, and spent all 150 of them complaining about "oppression".
They are almost certainly worse. They have a victim complex mixed with an obnoxious sense of entitlement.
Was Scotland ever the economic powerhouse of Great Britain for a couple centuries, and saved England during a war, but still had to bend knee to English and Protestant authority?
>I reiterate: Canada, i.e. the federal government of Canada, has never made any concentrated attempts at assimilating Franocophones
There was no federal government of Canada in 1696.
They didn't do that willingly, they had no choice. Québec was too important to lose or let fall and there weren't enough Anglos to do the jobs there. They gad to make concessions (like foregoing the aforementioned test & oath or Québec would not have been able to function and that was not an option since it was the biggest economy in the Canadas)
You're the one who moved the goalposts and relegated it to "official federal government of Canada as and when I define it." When it started we were talking about Anglo Brits conquering Francophones in the Canadas, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia (inc. PEI).
>The bastard Anglos WOULD have tried to oppress us, but we were too important!
An excellent display of a victim complex and an obnoxious sense of entitlement both in the same post. A Quebecism if ever there was one.
The reasons for Quebec's over-representation are irrelevant: the province was over-represented and therefore not 'oppressed'.
desu, everything right to quebec is pretty much americans in denial and dull as fuck
yeah, i'm sure oppressing 80% of the population is a good idea
The policies of the British in 1696 are not the policies of Canada in 2017, or 1867 for that matter.
My first post in this discussion was in response to OP, who used the ambiguous 'they'. If 'they' means 'Canadians', and the allusion to the 150th anniversary of Confederation would signal that this was the OP's intent, the OP is incorrect.

I'm sorry I couldn't hear over the sound of how French you both are.
Francophones represented less than 60% of the Canadian population in 1840, and that's only including Upper and Lower Canada, not the Maritimes. Great Britain had successfully conquered Canada when it was nearly homogeneously French, and were at that time ruling over other areas of the world, far more populous, that were not English-speaking or British descended in any portion at all. The Act of Union's equal status for Lower Canada was not a concession born of necessity, it was a gesture of respect and extreme benevolence.
>The Act of Union's equal status for Lower Canada was not a concession born of necessity, it was a gesture of respect and extreme benevolence.
Where are you getting this shit? There isn't a single history text book or historical non-fiction on the subject printed in the last 50 years that says that. And, I know that as a Saskatchewanian 1840 or 1867 seem like a long time ago to you, but we are talking about events dating back to the 17th century. The mention of Canada's sesquicentennial does not eclipse the concept of Anglo vs Franco that the rest of us were talking about.
no hablo espanol
Canada was founded on July 1st in 1867. The entities that preceded Canada had allowed French-Canadians in the modern territory of Quebec to exercise their culture unchallenged for decades before that date. It is, therefore, patently incorrect, to say that Canada has attempted to assimilate Quebec. Certainly of all it is ridiculous to say that Western Canada, a region that did not exist until half a century after any supposed attempts at assimilation had ended, is somehow responsible for the history of pre-1840 British North America, and that, on that basis, owes any amount of restitution to Quebec or affords any moral responsibility to accept asymmetrical federalism in confederation.
Québec is *literally* more of a country than you.
At least they have cultural identity.
>restitution
Que voulait-il dire par ceci ?
>samefagging
>being this insecure
>unchallenged for decades
But I, and others, have shown you examples of Anglo efforts to assimilate Québécois, the expulsion of the Acadians, etc. These constitute challenges.
>Canada was founded on July 1st in 1867. The entities that preceded Canada had allowed French-Canadians in the modern territory of Quebec to exercise their culture unchallenged for decades before that date.
1840 is decades before 1867. 2.7 decades, specifically.
>What is paint
Equalization is a small part of it.
snow frogs should be grateful they weren't exterminated like the vermin they are
Nice divide and conquer thread.
Why are yanks and yank """Canadians""" from out west always so obsessed with muh shekels? It's your end game every-fucking-time.
I mean, you can imagine there's just one person that hates your "country", but you're Belgian, so you're only fooling yourself.
Oh, Quebecois don't care about money? You'd be A-OK with getting rid of the whole equalization system, then? $11.5 billion would pay off all of Saskatchewan's debt, with another $5,000,000,000 to spare.
thoughtundermined.com
dumbfuck westerners should read this
lol your country is somehow more irrelevant than quebec
Saskatchewan and Quebec both pay into equalization in the same way that David Thomson and homeless crack addicts in Vancouver both pay into sales taxes. One of the two is paying a lot more and receiving a lot less. Ignoring the inter-provincial transfer of wealth effected by equalization is to ignore the program's entire purpose.
That wasn't the point, we were discussing culture, colonisation, Anglo vs Franco, OP mentioned "mending this broken relationship," etc, and somehow, as always, it became a discussion about shekels and monetary restitution. You guys and Americans almost always do this. It's exactly like blacks squealing "muh dick" except your version: "muh contemporary and comparative economic relevance" isn't a porn genre. If your only value to this country can be measured on an accountant's books it's really quite sad.
>American ''''''''''banter'''''''''

Romandy and the French Alps?
Somehow I like the Francophone more because we have similar idea of sovereignty. Vive le Québec libre!
i have never seen an american do this, they're actually less obnoxious than those anglo cunts
You might be right, I just can't tell the difference between Americans and western canadians.
>It's another Quebec pretends to be oppressed episode
Oh shut up. You've been treated more than fair.
tell me more about how we're the nazi party for bill 101
I didn't even say that. I know you fags have a black American tier victim complex but chill out.
In the real world, tangible things are more important than silly abstracts. Our money sends your kids to school while you roleplay with your "Muh dikk" with your "muhh culture mafugga". You're Ignoring that American cultural hegemony impacts both Anglo Canadians and Franophonie Canadians more than anything else. Tell me about how cultured you are singing Quebecois songs and eating poutine in your mothers basement working a shitty minimum wage office job.
