"Just watch me." Words to live by.

KFC changed their name to PFK in Québec to appeal to the québécois market, not because of language laws…

I live in France. Every day when I walk through my city, I see English words printed on signs, block after block. The difference here is that nearly 70 million people speak French, and neighbouring countries like Suisse, Monaco, Belgium, are also bi- or trilingual. English is not the threat to native speakers that it is in Canada As an English speaking expat Canadian, who remembers the crisis of Quebec in 1970, I did believe then, and strongly strongly believe that a separation of Québec would be a tragic loss for Canada and Canadian identity. I'm very pleased that modern Québecois are less nationalistic, but I understand why this push to retain the language is so important to those whose heritage is an equal and founding part of the country of Canada.

Great video. Habs fans can annoy me, lol (Sens) but love Quebec very much. I read a couple good books about the referendums but this makes me want to try and find something about the October crisis.

First off, ridiculing a French descended place for wanting the French language to be used is just a bit Anglo-splaining of this issue. Yes, enforcement of the law, which I had always seen called 101, can be heavy handed and picky, but the undermining of their French identity by excess commercialism and longstanding discrimination by the English speaking world is the far greater outrage. Secondly, I walked that same bridge from Ottawa to Gatineau, but finding U.S.-based fast food was the absolute last thing on my to-do list. I don’t want to sound scolding here, but je’dore Quebec.

You got it all wrong! 👎

Frenchies are so annoying

They should go it alone if thats what they want.

As an Ontarian I hate how much division there is between Quebec and the rest of Canada. I find a lot of Quebecois think the rest of the country hates them and this goes both ways. In my experience everyone I know loves Quebec, the French language, and the people. We are all Canadians whether we like it or not, and our county started almost entirely French whether we like it or not. I think in order to preserve the French language in Quebec, Quebec should be trying to expand French, have people from Quebec teach French in schools and the Quebec government should push for French to be taught better in Schools so they don't feel as isolated. On Ontarien's aimons les Quebecois and I hope they understand that so we as Canadians can stop being so divided.

10:10 Your girlfriend is beautiful, but why does she talk a little bit like a man?

Funny you use a Canadian Flag to represents Ottawa, Ontario to go to another Canadian Province Québec (Québec Flags) where my Ontarian flag or the Ottawa Flag !

I live in Ontario, and I love Quebec. We can visit a cool foreign country that requires no passports, no customs check at the border or exchanging of currency. All the people complaining seem to want Quebec to be like Alberta ???? One Alberta is quite enough thank you very much. But I love Alberta as well. It's like visiting Texas with a few less firearms. This country is great. 😂

English is French spoken poorly.

I have to thank you sincerely for your unbiased portrayal of Québec reality. It is something our cousins in english Canada seem mostly unable to do.

I like how Ottawa and Gatineau could just be a cross-provincial city

Je souhaite aux Québécois de préserver leur langue et leur culture aussi longtemps qu'ils le pourront :)

And here we go.....in 5,4,3,2,1 Allons y!

To the Anglophones who claim that only Quebec has legislated to make French its official language, we must remember that before the enactment of the Loi sur les langues officielles in 1969, in the aftermath of the creation of the Canadian Confederation (1867), Francophones in several English provinces watched helplessly as several anti-French and anti-Catholic laws and regulations were adopted in English Canada. Thus, the teaching of French or its use in public spaces in favor of English was prohibited in : Nova Scotia by the Education Act (Tupper Act), Prince Edward Island by the Official Language Act, Manitoba by the Official Language Act, New Brunswick by the Common School Act, Ontario by Regulation 17, Alberta by the Alberta School Act, Saskatchewan by the Saskatchewan School Act. The Northwest Territories lost their bilingual status at the request of Conservative MP Alton McCarthy. Although Quebec made French its official language, it has never banned English on its territory. The English-speaking minority in Quebec enjoys the same rights as the majority, without distinction. Francophones outside Quebec cannot benefit from them as much. Their future is uncertain in the current context.

Sounds familiar

Hello Wheek Wheek, Although French is the official language of Quebec, English is widely spoken throughout the province. In terms of education, here are some things to remember about Quebec, especially for English speakers in Quebec In addition to French schools, there are many English schools, from Elementary, Secondary and University English-language High schools in Quebec, including those in Quebec City, the Outaouais Region and other areas: Quebec High School: Located in Quebec City, this school was founded in 1804. Saint-Patrick High School: Located in Quebec City. Dollard-des-Ormeaux High School: Located on CFB Valcartier. Western Quebec School Board: There are six High Schools in the Outaouais Region, Pontiac and Abitibi-Témiscamingue regions In Montreal, the Montréal English School Board (EMSB) has 16 English High Schools in Montréal. The EMSB is the largest English public school board in the province and serves approximately 35,000 students. In the Province of Quebec, there are six Colleges that teach in English: Champlain Regional College, Dawson College, Heritage College, John Abbott College, Marianopolis College and Vanier College. In the Province of Quebec, there are three English Universities which are McGill, Concordia, and Bishop

Canada Should Be Entrirely French, NOT Other Languages!

need to go to Colonel Sanders house 1337 Melton Drive, Missisauga. if you like Kentucky Fried Chicken stuff

Fuck Quebec. Sincerely, rest of Canada.

You give the story write by anglais canadien. It’s quite different that the true story. The betray of canadien government and the betray of the 9 other provinces is the most important part of the story

one day i was driving down the highway i saw a sign qubec left so i turned around and went back home

I often have been to Ottawa and like to cross this bridge actually. Now about Ottawa our nation's capital is a shame -except for some improvements like the area called Glebe - overall it has remained the same in the last 30 years and the French language has NOT progressed in terms of visibility even though most anglophones in downtown Ottawa speak excellent French. The city still has this small town feel a sharp contrast with London, Paris or Washington. As for legistlation well the USA the only reason why English is number one on the planet has legislation promoting English in 40 states. That seems normal to me that if you go to Paris you hear and read French, London English and Mexico city, Spanish and Toronto... English. I am glad you envoyed your trip there but next time make it to Montreal or Quebec city a lot to discover.

I’ve been learning French this year and if I get the amazing opportunity to go to Quebec and anyone dares speak to me in English, I’m going to give them the evil eye 🤯😂

Intéressante vidéo. Dommage que tu utilises des adjectifs exagérés pour amplifier ton propos. Dans ta prochaine vidéo, parle nous du 3e référendum en route avec le PQ de PSPP!

A guy who is suppose to be canadian is talking on all the wrongs about french québécois culture with an american flag by his side...You don't even know your history on how we were the first european builders of north america, we know more about your culture then the rest of canada. Talking about our desire of being free from the english domination in our own country like it was something bad...Fuck You Asshole

Next video: Arriving in Alberta and being amazed that signs, menus and shops are unilingually in English. Also being amazed that the terms used are not the same as in England.

A good start, but there is alot more then you perseve

We're in 2024, you cross the bridge, go in Quebec, and talk about Gen De Gaulle the FLQ as is these things happed last week. Get over it buddy. Things have changed a lot. Especially with the internet.

Extreme measures? 🤨 OQLF is often ridiculous, I will give you that, however some (not all) shop owners shoot themselves in the foot and only have them to blame.

Remarkable how one simple walk over a bridge allows you to misunderstand and misrepresent so many topics at once.

They only kill chickens in French

You have to look for Le scandale des commandites on Google ,you will understand better why Québec want to be a new Country ,out of Canadéa .

Since 1763, Quebec has survived Canada's attempts at assimilation and this has become increasingly evident over the years. The federal government's latest discovery is to challenge Quebec's laws, such as 21 and 96. As soon as it involves a national affirmation law, this law ends up before the Supreme Court. There is also the drowning by immigration, without consulting Quebecers. Why is 60% of Canada's immigration directed towards Quebec? Another great Canadian classic: when they attack us and we back down, we are seen as bad players and we play the role of the victim. Classic !

Tu est handsome ! C'est quand qu'on se marie ?

"The store is close, thanks for the comprehension!" Eh bien, au moins, ils ont essayé...

I’m gonna get gng stalked again

quebec is not what is used to be. you are a few decades late. quebec used to be a huge french majority but now theres alot immigration and tons of people who speak english or other languages in quebec. its very sad because french people are losing their language and culture and many people coming from immigration dont care about it and keep their own country culture and language and they mostly learn english intead of french. i remember when i was a kid in the seventies and eighties , it was rare to see someone not talking french and not being caucasian. its not at all what it used to be today in 2024. since justin trudeau is the pm in canada , it got worse. his father also helped cause this situation back then. we can see that this is also happening in english canada and in many parts of the world. multiculturalism took over because of the immigration politics of our governments.

They are really scary looking and sound evil! I hope I'm never gang stalked!😮

All that we want is to be respected. I dont care about the signs on the stores and im not a separatist. All we want is to feel respected. A lot of immigrants are very respectful and try to speak french even if it can be hard.

It’s hard to remember what a jerk DeGaulle was. Saved France from Les Boches but after that he was nothing but trouble.

Other languages than english exist? I'm so offended

We go sometimes with extreme measure to protect french, mostly because we are surrended by 380 millions english speaking souls. So far it worked, compare to Louisiana.

No one in Québec: English speaking people: Waaaa - everything is in French. This is crazy. I expect everything to be in MY language.

Louisiana was not colonised by France, it was "colonised" by deported french-canadian, or Acadian from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick BTW, you sound just lika a Canadian Basic Ignorant that makes it acceptable to do Québec Bashing just to make you feel good. FLQ does not describe why there are French sign in Quebec.

Very interesting... You chew the Quiet Revolution, the FLQ and even the visit of General de Gaulle. However, we rarely hear about the KKK’s actions against francophones. How many members were there? 70,000.... You think that’s history? There was a recruitment campaign in 2017 on the campuses in Fredericton, NB and Roosevelt’s letter to Mackenzie King in which he wanted to set up a system and politics for assimilating francophones. Étant donné que vous apprenez le français, je vous invite à voir le film La guerre de Saint-Léonard peut-être qu'il vous fera réaliser la nécessité d'avoir adopté la loi 101.

3:34 In the case of PFK... Kentucky Fried Chicken... in Quebec and northern New Brunswick, there have been several versions of the name of this fast food chain: Scott’s Villa du poulet then La villa du Poulet - Kentucky Fried Chicken in the 70s to become Poulet Frit à la Kentucky which is more quickly called PFK, long before Bill 101. Is it the laws that changed the name or simply that, in terms of marketing, the company wanted to change them out of respect for the specificity of Quebec. No doubt that the leaders thought it was better at the marketing level.
