Vraiment Québécois
Posted by Ray @ 12:38 pmI know I’m a bit late with this news. But apparently the french-speaking province of Quebec is now a nation within Canada. Which reminds me of a story.
One of my friends visited Quebec, and when he first touched down the students he was staying with were nice enough to pick him up from the airport. As this was his first time on the Northern American continent, he commented: “I have set foot on Canada!”
The students looked at him with a mixture of horror, anger and offense. And they said “No, you are not in Canada. You are in Quebec.”
It remains to be seen whether history will be repeated, or if Canada and Quebec can finally get along.
