don't the French Canadians have any idea how much the French look down there noses at their "French" Culture, Everythings relative I guess. The Cajuns in Loisianna preserve their French culture even though they are your country bumpkins. They probably don't relate to Quebec any more than Quebec relates to France. It occurs to me that Quebec will have to rethink their program since the Americans now openly hate France and will have little patience or affection for an association with a french province angrily leaving Canada and looking for kissy huggy with the States. In actual fact the appetite for seperation in Quebec has been steadily decreasing in the last couple of years. The realities setting in I guess.

One thing I have been curious about is, don't the French Canadians have any idea how much the French look down there noses at their "French" Culture, and consider them country bumpkins? The Quebecois don't like the French either. They remember that the French aristocrats who tried to settle in Canada abandoned the place as unlivable, leaving the Breton peasants to hack out a living there. "Oh, il est un Français Français" they say rather scornfully.
