Myth Busters, Canadian Style!

The french spoke in Canada is Quebecois French which is a dialect of French. There are subtle differences between Quebecois and French from France. I am not fully sure what they are however from a number of my Francophone friends there can be difficulty understanding each other.
 
Actually a very large portion of Northern Western Ontario is Francophone
 
New Brunswick is full of French, it being the only reay bilingual province in Canada. I hear more french in Moncton than english when I go over there.

It used to be that way.... but in the last 5 years I find Moncton now has more English... Saint John is pretty much 100% English... well 8-% English and probably close to 20% Madarin.. but yeah anything North of MOncton is pretty much 100% French.

Maybe thats why there isn't much over there haha. Just joking I love French people... but seriously I had no idea there was so much... nothing in NW Ontario... drove from BC to NB last September and man that 24 hours of Eastern Manitoba and Western Ontario is brutal, I don't think any of us got cell service for the 24 hours before we got to Thunder Bay... but it was still a pile of fun.

I apologise for posting a pot leaf.

Because it's been decriminalized here and it's not nearly as bad as alcohol, I thought it would be OK.

Please remember that there are children on this site. My 13 year old daughter uses AC, and I really don't want her getting the idea that it is okay

thanks

We have a guy in our call center who speaks France French, and does technical support for Roger's French. A lot of Quebecois get annoyed when an obvious anglophone is on the phone speaking french, and insult them (I kid you not). They do the same thing to this guy, because his french is different. And then he'll start yellig a them as much as they yell at him, because of coruse his is *real* french.
 
So what else do we need to know about Canadians...what are the popular aquarium supplies you use...?

What kind of food (besides the french fry/gravy/cheese thing) is native to Canada?

Mmmmmm poutine... yum! If only KFC would sell their poutine down the States too then you would all realise how amazing it is.


This is not a factual statement, but I am personally going to invent the notion that a Canadian invented Grilled Cheese... and since McCain is a Canadian company.. maybe we invented pizza pops too?
