Sometimes I almost wish the Anglos had taken the name Borealia for the country. We could've kept our ethnonym like the Acadians did. Instead, we ended up with Quebecois, which is too inclusive a term as it can also include the haitians and jews in Montreal and at the same time too exclusive because the diaspora, those of us whose ancestors left Lower Canada in the 1800s or earlier and settled in Upper Canada and the prairies. We also have French-Canadian which makes us sound like immigrants.
While I'm at it, another name which could be appropriate is Laurentian since our ethnogenesis was on the banks of the St-Laurence. However, it's already tainted by terms like the Laurentian Elite and I only ever heard it to refer the family of dialects that arose along the St-Laurence and spread west (as opposed to Acadians).

Acadianbros, do the francophone blacks/Algerians that the feds send your way call themselves Acadians? I'm sure they send some as they do so in Ontario claiming it helps in the survival of French in Ontario. Even ignoring the race aspect here, they don't speak the same fucking French.
