It might be just easier if Canada converts to Latin, and everyone has to speak it, and it becomes the national language.

Not only would we look smart and cool, but we'd bring it back from the dead.

lol o_o we totally should. That'd be epic.

I think anglophones would complain though; English isn't a latin-based language after all.

They'd want something like German :P

And if no on revolts, where would that lead us? Would that be better? The English sure aren't thinking for us lol If you did happen to spend 10y learning French, then bravo to you, kudos, chapeau even, but most of the other Canadians, specifically the West, don't give to craps. Without riots and revolts, we'd be an English province by now.

There are French people in other provinces; you just don't notice them because they speak English with you guys :\ And perhaps some of them don't speak English and they don't want to put up with people who won't understand them because they don't try.

Also, the baseless assumption of us thinking French is superior and that trying to support and preserve a culture is egotistical. This makes you a typical anglophone because it insinuates that you don't give two crikes about the culture itself and it can be smothered; you don't care, it's just French.

As said, most people can't even order a pizza. Some "basic understanding", eh? You learn French from grade 4-6 in Western provinces; you know what that curriculum is? Learning how to say "I need to pee" and "Please / Thank-you". You don't learn Past Tense or Future Sense, even Conditional ("would"). Nothing. You just learn to say you need to go tinkle. Basic understanding? Hardly.

There is a need to learn it because it is an official language, and just by being an official language, it deserves to be taught hardcore, regardless where you live in the country. It's because it's not taught that we have narrow-minded fools from the rest of the country forcing English on the Quebecois there, and we rarely force French on you orally. We just ask for it to be taught in school, which is a reasonable thing, whether you travel to a French-speaking country / province or not, since we learn English, which is NOT a superior language either.

[Edit]

That'd be a weird fanfic of Canada lol o0

Well it certainly took you long enough. X3 (Sometimes I can fall behind on the thread of conversation in the DCC so don't mind that. xD)

I still totally think Erica should write that fic about the provinces, even if it's not 'historically correct'
 
Rofl s'fine. I am really stubborn when I feel strongly about something o_0 and I think that others are weird for not thinking the same way, since the way I think is certainly the most reasonable. I think that's bred arrogance from my dad feeding me the "You're a Gifted child with an IQ of 135; straight A's man and free university!" lines my entire life lol

I'm not sure that 'fic would be a good idea. I might get involved again LOL

I'd probably prefer to do it in comic form because I suck at writing... but that would mean coming up with personifications of all of them, orz. 8(
Click to expand...

A comic form would indeed be pretty cool too. And you can always ask your fellow canadians about the personifications. :3
 
Now that's what I call working on it! :D

Keep up the good input, Canadians. \o/

I think the strip will be a real hilarious one. :P (At least for the Canadians who get all the jokes ;3)
 
Someone make a ROM Hack and make Quebec and Ontario be the "two teams" and you need to, as the protagonist, make them like each other while collecting badges and traveling through cities such as:

Ottaw
Toronte
Spoiler:

Queenston
Becville
Muntrial

etc. etc.

Or just make personifications of cities and have Ottawa and Toronto getting into fistfights every other page. =P

What do you mean Ottawa and Toronto?

Try every Canadian city and Toronto. It's nationally hated. XD; But somehow, even in like a huge brawl, Toronto would always end up on top and then like go out drinking with NYC or something leaving the rest of the cities going "DAMNIIIIIT". D':

@Feign: omg lol I love that.
