>I always found it interesting that Quebec still has the concept of "race traitor"
If you are talking about the expression "traitre à ta race", its definitely dated and less in use nowadays than it was before the 90s. It doesn't relate at all to racial ideas either, it means someone who betrays the cultural ideals of his people or sells them out.
French-Canadians have a weird relationship to racial ideas. Older folks are often simultaneously racists and tolerant of some ethnies, just tolerant of others, and just racist of others. For example, my dad thought that while yes there's a difference between Pure Laine and other Quebeckers, in the end if you spoke French, loved the winter and hated the Feds, you were welcome here and bitching about Pure Laine or not wasn't relevant. But that was obviously before shitstains like Trudeau took the helm, now he's not singing the same tune. Ah, well, Trudeau, there's a good example of "traitre à sa race".
But you should never have to convince a French-Canadian educated about his own history about the possibility of a Great Replacement, since it quickly became the stated policy of the English after the conquest. We read the part of the letter to the Queen (I always fail to remember the name of the report its included into) that says they'll push us out within 2 generations or turn us into them without issue in our History classes.

>Wut? My family watched French TV, movies and music all the time. But then again we were also considered "fancier" than the average Quebecois
Well that's it. Same with ours. Lower-middle-class French-Canadians do not like French tv or movies that much (music is different). "Petit bourgeois" families do.

> Anglo can't understand a translated book from Quebec's french.

Ever since the Covid thing started I have completely lost interest in any form of information media. I have not watched or read any news in months. The fuck is happening?

>Probably all over the news even in the states
Supposedly, no. There's this joke that Clinton apparently received a call from the Canadian embassy the day of the referendum to let him know he might have a new neighbor up north and it was apparently the first time he had heard about it.

It's a weird mix of values.
Quebec is the most pro-abortion place in the world, for example.
At the same time, its still tradition for all the judges in the province to be invited and meet the higher members of the Clergy every year to discuss matters of morality in the law.
Laval University is probably the most right-wing university in Canada, their philosophy department is semi-specialized toward aristotelico-thomism. My Aristotle teacher there literally started his course on logic by saying "If you are atheist, you will not be able to understand anything in this course, and can leave immediately if you want."
Quebec has also a *very* strong history of Catholic sectarism, such as with the Army of Mary (one of my friend was the son of two very high members, and his conception was the reason why his parents left the cult, and "Mary" was so mad at them that she wrote a book where she literally said my friend was the Antichrist to be born).

If I wasn't a Separatist and already wanted the death of this horrible joke of a nation, I'd be worried.

What bothers me is the time frame. Quebec *right* before the Quiet Revolution was really tame, the QR was more a cultural-artistic movement that broadcasted to the elites how society had already changed.
Quebec *did* have a very dark point in time, but that was earlier, between the 1880s and 1930s, and the cause was very obviously not the patriarchal structure of society, but the insane disparity in wealth amongst the populations. At one point in the 1880s, more than 98% of the private wealth of the province was owned by people living in the Westmount quarter of Montreal (the Anglo part). Another part of the issue was that the Catholic Church had only so much resources from the government to educate the population, which led to relatively low alphabetization rates.
None of it was related remotely to women. In fact, I'd say (but obviously anglo feminists would disagree with me) that the French-Canadian culture leads to a more respectful stance toward women in general, as we have always understood that they were a required partner in the establishment of a successful household. I was raised in a Catholic boarding school, one of the last one of the Province, by nuns. I have nothing but respect for everyone of them.

>you are glad was removed from your country
They just moved to Quebec.
> "The Quebec population [was] defined very early along lines which were kept subsequently, because immigration contributed only marginally to its growth. After one century of settlement, spouses whose ethnic origin was French still represented 97% of the total, with Normandy, the Paris region and the West of France contributing...about two thirds."

Kek, no one gets cucked like a canuck.
more seriously, tho
>I don't know how we became Diet America
Culture is a dangerous thing. Identity is purely performative nowadays, it's been increasingly like this since the 90s.
>Cant speak for albertans or quebecoids
Can speak for both, as I'm a quebecoid who lived a decade in Alberta. On average the rednecks from both sides have more 'culture' and 'identity' than urbanites from both sides, which themselves are pretty much on par with the worst faggot from Toronto. Montreal and the surroundings is absolutely being buried under muslim/paki/indian/whatever anglo immigration right now, so I'm pretty sure the powers that be decided it was the next target to turn into a Toronto/Vancouver hellhole. Frogs here have been increasingly vocal about it, but we are really good at bitching loudly and doing nothing, so I don't think it'll get anywhere.
100% going to be a white flight from the city happening in the next few years (if not already happening), I have ultralibs friends who are starting to talk about doing it, although they aren't willing to internalize why they are wanting to get out.
I'm slowly chipping at them. Right now I'm applying a heavy dose of "You know you can still be on the left and be anti-immigration, right?". Its gonna be a fucking while.
But Canada needs to die.

It's fucking insane, our lives are *very* similar, yet because I'm not a burger I never got over 14k of debts. And anyone with even a Masters on Husserl could get a teaching job at a college here.

We are "poor" in optics only. And it's an optic that benefits us. Canada was set up as a wealth transfer system, a miniature Britain, sucking riches from the other provinces into Toronto/Ottawa. Using their own system to outjew the anglo is the best thing we could do.

Kek.
My dad used to call Leafland "the Great Loneliness", after MacLennan's Two Solitudes ("the two loneliness).

Correct, although make sure you learn to pronounce "baleine" and "couleur" the Quebec City way, otherwise you might as well be speaking Creole.

> People of various cultures will transcend their cultural differences if only they are constantly involved in politics.

This is insanely naive. The only engine left for the momentum to led us away from state-capitalism is a common nationalism. The only place in America where unions are still somewhat strong, where left political movements aren't completely paralyzed by corporate-imposed standards of political correctness (they are getting there tho), is Quebec.
