Une raison pourquoi les Français ne sont pas toujours bien reçu franchement c'est le racisme et la misogynie et autres comportements exclusif et agressif très fréquemment exprimée par les Français. Je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où j'ai eu à faire face à de la discrimination ouverte par des français avec mon accent québécois. On nous traite souvent comme moindrement intelligent ou tel que des barbares incultes des étendues glacées. J'ai aussi personnellement fait face à carrément des fausses allégations et un complot pour nous discréditer et nous forcer à partire dans certaines activitées en ligne où une française a littéralement hacké le serveur pour créer des fausses preuves pour discréditer tous les québécois (on a fini par apprendre la vérité des années plus tard par la bouche de son petit ami belge lorsqu'ils se sont séparés)
Bref du gros colonialisme toxique. Je n'ai rien contre les Français qui se comportent bien (la majorité). Malheureusement ces événements trop fréquents me forcent à monter ma garde initialement et me font avoir une perception très négative de cette facette bien réelle et trop fréquemment embrassée de la culture Française. Bien sûr je sais que la majorité des Français sont des bonnes personnes et qu'à l'opposé on a aussi des idiots racistes ici aussi. Je voulais simplement expliqué le contexte de beaucoup de critiques envers les gens de la France, cette arrogance méprisante et condescendante qui je dois ajouter n'est pas juste tournée vers l'extérieure mais est aussi mentionnée par beaucoup de français qui décident de rester, cette attitude de dénigrement de la différence et de hiérarchisation sociale toxique bien présente dans la société française qui n'est pas la bienvenue au Québec car elle est antithétique à nos valeurs culturelles beaucoup plus égalitaires.
Maple flavored anything is delicious.
Une première chose que vous vous devez de comprendre. VOUS ARRIVEZ AU QUÉBEC... Ça fait 10 000 fois qu'on le dit au français et vous vous obstinez à parler du Cnada et à mettre des drapeaux du Canada partout.
This may sound strange but I prefer Quebec City in winter. The people embrace the cold and the city is so alive in the snow.
G A W D !!!!
Quebec city is a tourist trap.
Yeah probably maybee but after 6 o clock pm there in winter no one stays out side
@ArmandoSanchez-sp5zl I've walked around the Old City at 9PM in January and there were many people out.
You wouldnt love it if you lived here lol.Its cold one day and the day after its rainy and wet.Terrible country during the winter tbf.The best seasons are either spring or early fall.
04:51 Vous posez la question à savoir comment font-ils pour gouverner un tel navire. Sur le St-Laurent, entre Montréal-Québec et Québec-Les Escoumins, les bateaux commerciaux doivent embarquer un pilote certifié qui connait très bien les passages, les iles et les courants ; ce pilote prend en charge la navigation sur le parcours assigné.
C'est vrai qu'un pilote certifié connait très bien les passages, les iles et les courants. Mais la bière coule à flot aux bars à coté des stations de pilotage et la loi de Murphy pointe son nez dans le trafic maritime plus souvent qu'elle ne le devrait.
@@The0ldg0at Vous avez des statistiques au sujet des accidents de pilotes sur la voie maritime du St-Laurent? Vous avez des statistiques sur la proximité des stations de pilotage et des bars dans ces bateaux? Sinon, on pourrait confondre vos propos à des ragots.
I’ve been to many Grey Cups in Canada with my Dad and as Americans we were treated beautifully by all Canadians. My Dad passed away a few years ago and I kept going to the Grey Cups and I was treated well by all Canadians. I love the country. Honestly, this year it is Hamilton and I’ve been there and it was great but to pay sky high prices for a hotel/motel due to the Grey Cup with little to do aside from the game I’m planning to go to Vancouver next year for the great Canadian Football League game. Love Canada!
Come visit Alberta you'll feel right at home.
Better start saving now, YVR is insanely expensive.
Speaking as a Vancouverite, definitely skip Hamilton!
Best of luck!
Vancouver is beautiful. We came here in 1981 and love it. We have mountains, forests and the sea, all close by. Good wishes.
I am 1/2 Canadian, ancestry is French. I live in U.S. I love Canada and France. Anyone not loving someone due to their place of birth or ancestry is not living life to the full. You have a tres’ adventuresome spirit. Good for you!
Being colonized can change your perspective on the colonizers
@@lamonali colonized? People barely remember their childhoods let alone 500 years ago.
You didn't say nuthin bout luvin the usa 🤔
@@fermisparadox01 there are aspects of everyone and everyplace I’ve been that I love but this vid was about the French and the Canadians.
@ToddDouglas4908 thanks, you just answered. 🤡
Salut de Toronto! Merci de nous partager votre expérience à Québec. Une française à Québec fait une vidéo en anglais. C’est cool!
The yellow car at Walmart caption “spotted this ON the parking” would be “spotted this IN the parking lot”.
Bon voyage!
My family and I drove a motorhome across Canada. We liked very much Montreal and Quebec City.
I'm Anglo-Canadian and I've loved visiting Quebec City, been many times and made many a waitress laugh with my high school French. The French language we're taught in Canadian English schools is very much French French, so it's possible people might react to you as though you might be a fluent French speaking Canadian from outside Quebec. I'm pleased to hear that you're having an enjoyable trip.
My son from Kingston, Ontario was NOT laughed at because of his French in Quebec City. He was in Early French Immersion programmes and French (first language) schools during elementary and secondary school. Actually, he was accepted as a native speaker of French by at least one Francophone who told him bluntly, 'But you don't speak French like an Anglophone so you're a Francophone." He was confused by and proud of being considered a Francophone. Hurrah for bilingual education.
It has nothing to do with that. We can hear the difference in accent pretty easily between a French person and an anglophone. The reason is in great part historical with French people and Quebec's elites looking down on Quebec's accent with the later taking up the French accent since the sixties so people can often assume people with a French accent are pretentious pricks, it's not completely dissimilar to the idea of the British accent being posh. Also French people complaining a lot about Quebec when they come also make people judge them.
High School French French, I would like to hear that. My grand-daughter tried to talk to me with her High School French French. Most French teachers are English speaking and when they add their English accent to the accent of a second English speaking person, well you end up with High School French French (HSFF). If someone tells you he tried to speak French in Quebec with his or her HSFF and nobody understood, don't blame the interlocutor.
@@LarocqueLouis I found that most people I interacted with appreciated the effort to speak French and when it looked like I was struggling they'd switch to English. If I wasn't holding up the line sometimes I'd say "hold on, let me see if I can get this" and would try a time or two. Sometimes I literally made the waitresses laugh, but we were all enjoying the process.
@@ponytoast1231 Oh, yeah! The Queen's University French department was and probably still is particularly snobbish about European French, although a fair number of its students speak both European French and French Canadian French when they are done.
As someone whos mother tongue is English I was so impressed by your excellent command of the language. Sadly my french has a long way to go!
English is the hardest language to learn. I can't even with French, so it amazes me that she can learn English this well.
To appreciate the beauty, uniqueness, and culture of any new experience demonstrates your open heart and mind. May we all strive to be that way. Love and appreciation!❤😊
Il y a des dizaines de sortes de poutines. Et même si on compare la même sorte dans différents restaurants, elles seront toutes différentes: sauce, épices, type de patates (pomme de terre), différente méthodes de cuisson, ... mais le fromage est pratiquement toujours le même.
Exact, ce qui fait une vraie poutine, c'est le fromage en grains. Le reste, ça peut être personnalisé de tellement de façons! Mais les meilleures et les plus simples, ce sont celles des casses-croûtes de village, sur le bord de la route 💙
I adore Quebec City, especially Vieux-Quebec. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and we went back last year for our 20th anniversary. We even stayed at the same bed and breakfast where we stayed for our honeymoon. I found the experience last year to be much more enjoyable than in 2002. We're from New Brunswick and are both French, but because our accent is different, in 2002, people would speak to us in English. Last year, we had no problem speaking in French to everyone we interacted with and the city felt a lot more multicultural.
Will at least be able to understand my basic french learned from American schools??
@@strongtowerman9661 probably, if you try really hard the worst that could happen is people laughing and helping
@@nikodoyon7429 Or switching to English? It's just easier for a bilingual person to switch to English if the person isn't terribly fluent in French. That's understandable.
Maybe, Quebecers were more bilingual 20 years ago than now? Now, they are not that bilingual so they keep speaking to you in French? I lived in Quebec City in the summer of 1978 as an exchange student. I found that the tourist quarter then was far more Anglophone than it was the last time I was in Quebec City about 2004 or so. Seriously, in 1978, the caleche drivers wouldn't even solicit you with a fake French-Canadian accent in English. In 2004, you really felt out of place as an Anglophone which is great! I got to Quebec for the French ambience, not to hear English assault my ears.
@@dinkster1729 I'm actually saying the opposite. I'm French, but because the French accent from Southern New Brunswick sounds different from the Quebecois accent, Quebecers spoke to me in English when we went in 2002.
Hi Marie!! This was a really fun video for me to watch - thank you so much for your great gift to us ❣ I loved all the myriad of cool scene clips you began with of buildings, outdoor metal picnic table, churches, jet skis everywhere, walk/bike ways, that huge green-roofed building, and the pretty white Mustang in Quebec City! I thought your hotel room was interesting and different for me, especially the brick wall. Your visit to Montmorency Falls was really cool and fun (reminded me of my Niagara Falls visit) with that huge bridge, the lovely flowers and nice green fountain. Amazing the Falls are 30 m higher than Niagara, and the floating log mat was amazing to see, plus that long walk down the hills with those 487-step stairs 😵😊! The water spray from the falls are always fun to watch, and I liked the straight-down overhead view of Montmorency, with all the cool views of the water and city. I never heard of Ile d' Orleans. You certainly got your exercise with 10 miles of walking each day - WOW! I also thought the scenes reminded me of a European feeling, like you did. It is also interesting to see road signs like ours but in French 😃. That wind you showed looked like a hurricane, and it was cold too - brrrrrr!! - added to all the weather you experienced was really something (and I would also expect May to be warmer up there! Some people do love water jet skis, even in the COLD (but not me lol). And eagle-eye Marie spotted the pretty red Mustang too. Those big ships were fascinating (white and grey ones). The AML Louis-Jolliet was a pretty coloring. I would enjoy that ferry ride, and I agree 7.90$ was not bad for that 12 minute boat ride! Marie, you outdid yourself with that truly gorgeous black Mustang this time 😵💕🤗! The letters of LEVIS had people's names under tham - I wonder who they were? You got more exercise up the steep steps, and that treed neighborhood sidewalk was a relaxing scene. You captured very scenic vistas and a park, and also that Leonberg (never heard of ones), plus 2 more tall dogs (they have some interesting breed varieties of pet dogs) ❤. Oh Marie, I could visit a Christmas shop any time of the year 🤗, and the model with the skaters and train was so cool, as were those "snow" globes too. I have also never heard of a Museum of Civilization in my life, lol! The indigenous history has many sad tales for sure. It was nice for you to learn new French words while there - so cool - and I love learning new words in any language 😍. I am happy for you to have found smiling, nice people on your visit - with the exception of that one guy 🤣(I appreciated the face you made when talking about him 😉). The food you mentioned did not measure up to expectations (happens a lot to me), with their cheese and maybe bread contributing factors?! I almost jumped into your video to try that Maple Ice Cream you described (especially right now, with me only being able to eat ice cream after my extraction surgery!) 🥰🥰❗ We have a few schools in Austin with uniformed students too. And you even found a Walmart AND your RUSH beer mug - yay 😂! I hope your train ride to Montreal went well (I also love traveling in trains much more than airplanes), and another benefit of them is no motion sickness for Marie (my mom was exactly like you in that respect - and she could NOT ride in the back seat of a car without getting sick), and the Dramamine helped you as it did my mom 😊😊. At least your plane ride over the ocean gave you plenty of room to yourself to relax and sleep 💕. Thank you so much Marie for another superb, lovely video from you, and I know the next one will be too❗Please take care of you back home in France🙏🤗❣
Frenchtastic, I haven't been there yet either, but if you are still in Canada, you should check out these islands called "St Pierre and Miquelon".
They are off the southeast corner of Canada....BUT THEY ARE PART OF FRANCE! 🙂When you go there, you must go through French customs, because once you set foot on either island, you have left Canada and are now in France. 🙂
Hey salut. Ça fait plaisir à entendre une française qui apprécie le français du québec. Il y a du monde qui pensent qu'on parle un dialecte, mais on sait très bien parler/comprendre le français. Je suis né à Lévis et j'y vis toujours. C'est une très belle ville et la piste cyclable offre la meilleure vue sur la ville de Québec. J'espère que tu vas continuer d'apprécier les environs !
City and surrounding area looks absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing. 🙂
Quebec City is my favourite city in Canada because it feels so European. So glad you had fun there. I knew your French would not be a problem there. It will be interesting to see what you think of Montreal.🐸
Never been to Victoria huh?
@@stevenseul361 Yes I have but what's your point?
@@canadianeasybid I love Victoria more than any other Canadian City.. I thought that would be obvious It's been a long time since being back..😒😒
That's downtown Quebec City. The suburbs are moderns north americans suburbs with big malls.
@@stevenseul361 I think he meant : How's Victoria feel european ?
Pour ton information, le fromage "en crotte" utiliser au Québec "doit" être un fromage pre-cheddarisation (c-a-dire non affiné), la plupart de autres provinces et états (USA) ne le vendent pas car ce types est illégal.
Le vrai pain ce trouve en prédominance dans les boulangeries de quartier (contiennent farine et eau, certains vont même ajouter levure fraîche et sel). À l'épicerie, c'est plus industriel (donc sucré pour activer plus rapidement le levure chimique)😊
La levure chimique pour les français, c'est de la poudre à pâte, C'est pas pour le pain.
You can sell "cheese curd" in Ontario. You do like it fresh. Tim Horton's advertises its "poutine". I've never even wanted to eat "poutine". "Chips and gravy", a Newfoundland stable, doesn't interest me either.
A few weeks ago, I was hiking in the Dolomites in Northern Italy. A couple from Lyon asked me what North Americans thought of French people. I responded thusly: "There's a certain narrative that all French people are rude. In all of my experiences, I only ever had one bad experience and it was with a woman working at a train station in Paris." Not a bad record, I think!
P.S. I just spent 3 days in St. Malo. Trés magnifique!
You’re a very lucky person. One bad experience in your life - funny!
i think i met that same person in the train station. she worked in the information office. i had just gotten to paris and she was the first person i tried to talk to in france. she was the last person i tried to talk to in france. i left france. there were many other countries to see where they treated you much better. this was 45 years ago.
Actually, as Canadian who lives about 20 minutes away from the Quebec border (I'm from Ottawa) - it's true. I can name 4 examples off the top of my head where people from Quebec expect better treatment than the rest of us get. 1. We have to learn French in school as part of our curriculum (up until the 9th grade), even if we never go there. 2. People from Quebec get to speed in Quebec, but people from other provinces don't (I actually got into a car accident once because of this). 3. They get tons of money from the government that no one else gets. 4. They somehow(?) got exempt from having to deal with all of the C-19 bullsh*t that the rest of us have to deal with.
I got called a racist one time by someone from Quebec for pointing this out. I'm not white, and "Quebec" isn't a race or even a nationality. Both black and white people from Quebec do this. 🤨 Edit: I don't know if people from France are like this, too.
@@HollyucinogenFrench in school is a joke though if you're not in a French-speaking part of the country and even Quebecois are surprised by how little French we can actually speak. We don't actually end up with any kind of practical ability to speak French, but many Quebecois can speak English fine. That's a perfectly legitimate thing to be upset about I think.
@@DevynCairns There are French (first language) schools across the country by the way. There are also Early French Immersion programmes for students to learn more French than in the regular programme. There certainly should be more FREE programmes so you can learn French as an adult. I had a wonderful time learning French in the 1970s and my children went to Early French Immersion and French first language schools in the 1980s & 1990s. We are all pretty fluent in French. I'm in Kingston, Ontario a very monolingual part of the country.
I walked back from my hostel in Ile d'Orleans back to downtown Quebec. Took me all day long. It was a nice view and felt like an accomplishment.
Wow! That's quite a walk. Were you alone?
Thanks for sharing another video of the beautiful places you visit. I live in Maine and have never been to Quebec City, but now I might go. Anyway, I like to see where you've been, and also to hear you speak English. You have a kind of 'soft' way of speaking that's just adorable.
It's easy drive. Just go to Skowhegan and drive north! Well worth it.
Come on over, it's only a five hour drive to Québec city from Maine. Come in the summer or else, you will freeze. August is a very beautiful month to visit Québec city.
@@gilleslafreniere June and July and the early fall are lovely as well. I was there visiting my son once in November, I think. His naval residence was on the waterfront and it was very cold, but the Quebecois are very warm-hearted so that made up for the difference in temperature. I'm in Kingston, Ontario and the spring and fall and, certainly, the winter are a shock for someone from southern Ontario.
Marie, I just found your YT channel and have enjoyed checking out some of your recent travels. Quebec City and San Diego are two of my favorite cities and I enjoyed revisiting them through your videos. You earned a new subscriber here once I saw that you are a Rush fan as well! ❤Looking forward to more Frenchtastic travels!
I believe your opinion that Quebec City has the ambiance of a French city is correct. In my own view, Quebec is quite similar to many cities in France, and I have told many of our family and friends if one were blindfolded and placed down there. when the blindfold were removed it would seem as though one were transported to France. I do not have quite that same feeling about Montreal; but you will see, and make your own judgement.
I do not understand why you thought that les Quebecois would have negative attitudes toward people from France. I would think quite the opposite. They are very proud of their heritage, and are sensitized regarding their treatment by the conquering L' Anglais. Indeed, there is a museum in Quebec City which details the discriminatory history. They have not forgotten the exile of Acadians to Louisiana ("Cajuns"). Thar is one of the many reasons why the motto on Quebec license plates is "Je Me Souviens" ("I Remember").
Have a great trip!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Thomas Gabriel from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask??❤
let's hope one day it goes back to the proper slogan
I loved your video. I love Quebec City. A Couchetard (like 7-11) has great breakfast snacks and coffee cheap. Dufferin Terrace, Notre Dame Quebec, Chateau Frontenac, Levi, Montmorency Falls, Ancien Canadien Restaurant, St. Anne de Beaupre, macaroons, The Armory and Citadel, Plains of Abrahim--and I hope the Cosmo Restaurant is still there.
Vous faites une très belle promotion de la ville de Québec. Heureux que vous y avez passé du bon temps.
Quebec City truly is beautiful. My wife and I live in Southwestern Ontario and visited the city about 15 years ago. We had heard that they don't like English Canadians there, though my wife is French Canadian, but when we got there everyone was very friendly and nice. we spent a wonderful week in the old city.
Come back! We like friendly people, especially if you make the effort to speak a couple of words in French.
Welcome to the East Coast 🇨🇦! Very glad you are enjoying most things 😊. Great taste in cars! I sold my 1968 a few years ago.
Salutations, je suis de la ville de Québec et content que tu aies apprécié ta visite. Je voulais juste te dire q' habituellement il fait quand même plus beau que ça. On peut dire que jusqu'à maintenant on a un ositie d' été de marde😁
la température de l'été était idéal, juste pas la pluie.
Ouin c ben vraie que le bâtard d'été y chie quel chrisse mais bon c ça la vie!
Warms my heart you are a Rush fan. Saw them a few times in high school : )
You said "It's like being in the USA but it's in French ". So true. Excellent nutshell definition of Quebec. I am from Quebec and I've always felt much more at home in the US than in the rest of Canada.
Totally incorrect. As a Montrealer I can tell you that the city and the province are nothing like the vast majority of American cities fortunately.
I agree with both of you. Quebec City is much more like the USA. Montreal, not so much…thankfully, because Montreal and many of the people, are not nice-as is shown by @AY’s comment.
@@AY-uf4oz Have you taken a walk down Peel St. all the way down to Wellington recently? One could swear he was in Houston or North Dallas. Except for the French signs of course.
Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures. Be safe and have fun.
I moved to Quebec City in 2018 when I went homeless from British Columbia (also in Canada). Quebec is best seen in the winter wonderland. I can't wait for my 6th winter.
Good video Marie. I think Quebec City is the most beautiful city in North America. I haven't been there since the late 1980s. But all the memories of it are wonderful. Glad you enjoyed it too.
The East end of the Isle of YUL is amazing, if you are still around. Boats called "Navette fluviale" might lead you to discover the Fleuve St-Laurent's archipel. With those you go from Old port of MTL to Verchères, Repentigny and Pointe-aux-Trembles, the oldest villages around, all founded between 1663 and 1684.
It's great to see you travel and not let motion sickness keep you from seeing the world. Frankly, I wish I could figure out Paris. I've failed 3 times so far, trying to get downtown from the airport. I only get 1 night typically before departing for home. Again, keep up the amazing journey!
My family moved from Île d'Orléans in the early 1700s, lived in Montmagny for a few years, and then lived in Saint-Nicolas for well over a century. Saint-Nicolas was incorporated into Lévis as a borough in recent decades. Other family lived in Québec City. I will visit one day!
Was really enjoying your video, and then you mentioned Rush and showed your Rush mug. Instant subscribe! Glad you enjoyed your visit!!
Bonjour! Après avoir pris ma retraite, j'ai travaillé huit ans comme guide touristique dans le Vieux-Québec. Bien content que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience! Faudrait juste pas penser qu'il n'y a pas de bon pain ou de bons fromages au Québec. Cherchez un peu et vous trouverez des fromages québécois aussi variés et raffinés qu'en France. Quant au vent, c'est un signe du temps. La météo est déboussolée et ce n'est pas près de changer!
Ayoye...il y a un peu de bons fromages au Québec mais ce n’est rien comparé à la France. Absolument rien...n’importe quel Auchan ou Carrefour en France (ou même en Europe) a une vaste sélection de fromages 🧀
@@louisecote3542 mais je peu très bien vivre sans mes fromages! Gilles45 disait qu’il y avait « des fromages [québécois] aussi variés et raffinés qu’en France » ce qui est tout simplement faux. Idem pour le pain...mais le Québec est très bien quand même. Pour les très bons fromages au Québec, je me tourne vers le Marché Atwater et ses fromages...importés (!) de France, Suisse, le Royaume-Uni et les Pays-Bas. Sinon, le P’tit Québec fais bien l’affaire dans la cuisine de tous les jours!
@@louisecote3542 mais oui je connais les fromages du Québec puisque j’en achète en tant qu’amateur de fromage. Je dis tout simplement que les fromages disponibles en épicerie au Québec sont - pour la plupart - plutôt sans surprise. Ordinaires, sans être insipides. En France le choix est plus vaste, le goût est supérieure et les prix plus abordables. L’industrie du fromage en Europe a des siècles d’expérience dans la fabrication de ses produits. D’ailleurs, j’étais en Pologne pour trois semaines en juillet, 2023. La Pologne et le Québec ont ceci en commun: l’industrie du fromage est assez récente dans les deux cas. La Pologne sortait de la noirceur du communisme il y a 30 ans et a commencé à développer des fromages typiques. Ceux-ci sont pour la majorité des fromages frais, jeunes, blancs. Ce sont tous de très bon produits ...mais ils n’ont rien à voir avec les fromages anglais, français, néerlandais ou suisses.
@@rogercarmel6619 encore une fois, pour éclairer votre lanterne, nous avons au Québec d'excellent fromages artisanaux et fermiers, bien qu'ils soient moins accessibles et plus dispendieux, mais maudit, ils existent! Quand on les connais, on s'ennuie pas des fromages d'ailleurs. (j'ai voyagé, je connais les standards)
Si tu as besoin d'exemple, je t'en donnerai. :)
@212931cadena pas besoin de me donner des exemples de BONS fromages québécois. J’en connais, dont le Rassembleu des Fromagiers de la table ronde, un bleu cendré. Je n’ai pas dit que le Québec avait aucun bon fromage! J’ai dit que le goût, et le choix sont inférieurs à ce qu’offre un supermarché (Auchan ou Carrefour) en France. Pour de bons fromages québécois, mieux vaut aller à la fromagerie ou dans un commerce spécialisé car l’offre en épicerie est limitée. La Fromagerie Atwater au Marché Atwater offre beaucoup de fromages importés jusqu’au cheddar néo-zélandais (beurk!). Autre chose: comparer un emmental suisse avec un canadien. Les deux sont bons mais le suisse est supérieur. Ou faites le test avec un cheddar anglais et un canadien. Même résultat! Conclusion: quelques fromages d’ici sont bons mais les prix sont élevés et le choix en épicerie est assez restreint.
I enjoy your videos and comments plus learning more about the world around me
Three Mustangs in this video! I hate the wind too. Must've been nice to get inside after walking around all day. So much fun watching you explore! :)
❤❤❤ So happy to see you enjoying this experience, Marie. I told a guy this morning about you because he was looking to sell his Mustang and get a more economical car like my Cobalt. Sorry about the side quest. For the most part, historical freaks like myself have loved the stories of French explorers, Cartier, Marquette, Champlain, Joliet, laSalle, and now you. Yes, I know there are more but... This is about your exploration, your discoveries, your experiences. I hope someday you get that Mustang. I never got mine. The closest I got was an Oldsmobile Cutlass. It was a bit more family freindly at the time. Good luck on your future quests.
Glad you enjoyed yourself. Can't wait till you rent a Mustang to drive and do a video about it. Quebec City was one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to. Take care and be safe.
YAY brings me back to my trip to Quebec as a teen! cool!
Interesting listening to your experience. Yes, the month of May can still get cold. In 1990 our lab at work (McGill Medicine) hosted a gal from Lyon on 'stage' working with me in our darkroom and copy bench (photography.) She had come to Montreal with her girlfriend who was from Paris and she was in Montréal on 'stage' herself. They spoke French quite differently, though they both spoke English very well. They had a difficult time understanding locally spoken French. It was a very pleasant experience.
They'd get used to it over time. My French room-mate the year I spent in Montreal was very used to understanding the French-Canadian French and worked in a Fracophone reform school. She'd been in Montreal for 4 years when I moved in with her both as a student and, later, as a worker.
yes most canadians live inside the USA, what I mean is most canadians live in Ontario and Ontarios most populated area is greater Toronto which is below the USA border, most people think canadians are american when we speak and we are very influenced by USA

Hello Miss Marie !!!! Here in the Sunshine State of Florida
Upper 90 ' s as usual !!!! The like button 🔘 has been Illuminated !!!! 🤗👍👍😎 Just happy to see you enjoy yourself
I don’t understand why a Québécois resident would look down their nose at a French citizen from France, that’s where their Québécois ancestry came from. I think politicians are the problem. I’m from Ontario and spent a lot of time driving Transport trucks between Ontario and Quebec. I had a couple of years of high school French and I’m not at all fluent in French. I used to hear stories of how I’m going to have problems communicating with the citizens in Quebec because I don’t speak their language. I had no problem at all. If I needed directions and at least tried to speak what little French I knew, they would bend over backwards to assist if they could. I’m sure there are some that would give a problem but I never had that issue. Vive La Belle Province.
The answer is english propaganda and the church, my friend. The narrative the colonial regime pushed for, after the conquest of Québec, is that the british liberated the french canadians from a corrupted french regime. Also, somehow, a lot of Québécois still seem to believe that France abandoned them during the seven years wars (even though the french were simply defeated). Historicaly, canadian politicians did not like Québec and France having ties because it gave "ideas" to the Québécois 😅. Also the church, wich had a huge influence in french canada, did not enjoy the idea of " separation of State and Church " that came with the French revolution. This contributed to an isolation of Quebec from french society, and reticence towards the old homeland.
If you're under the impression the Quebecois look down on the french for no obvious reason you need to get out more, kid😅
@@toastymctrigger6061,how old @re you?
The “fait” that it’s on a hill @ 3:53…. I love this girl!
It's so fun watching you experience new places! Just think back to all the amazing locations you've been to and shared with all of us! I'm not too surprised by the wind given that the coast typically has more wind that when you go inland. As someone who used to work on the ferry (in the Seattle area) I was fascinated to see the different designs they have up there in Canada. I never had Maple Ice Cream like that when I visited Vancouver BC, they make it different. It's Vanilla Ice Cream, Bacon Bits, and Maple Syrup. They are fantastic and I get one every time I visit British Columbia. Thak you for bringing us all along on your adventures Marie! Take care, and keep smiling!
Thanks 😊
I hope you get to come to New England. Cape Cod and the offshore islands are beautiful. Boston is a great city lots of American history and architecture. The northern mountains are stunning especially during foliage season in early October.
I second Boston!
A trip up the coast of Maine, followed by a trip back down to the Cape would be great for her. She's like the Back Bay and North End, and then P-town and Nantucket would be a great trip.
Canadian here who visited Boston and Cape Cod a few years ago. Beautiful places and people were all very friendly.
You want Rush beer, you need to come to Toronto. Ontario and Toornto really is where you need to be for Rush beer.
And I love you for being a Rush fan!
I like when you talk in French.
Re Bonjour 😃 weekend Marie ,
Yeah!!! more of gorgeous Quebec , what a spectacle the falls looked so powerful , if only you could have done a loop of the area to the lovely orchard, it's unlucky that the cable cars were closed , crossing the suspension bridge with the roaring waterfall just beneath your feet is awesome. Maybe your familiar with the term 'Via ferrata ' you can hike up there along with metal plugs & a steel cable & at the top there's also a restaurant that's rewarding for your efforts. Imagine how thilling it must be taking a zipline along the falls , maybe you shouldn't because of your motion sickness but knowing you I bet you would go for it courageously with some encouragement. There's a walkway along the bottom that's perfect for a picnic along with the rainbows the falls makes.
*On an interesting note they did harness hydro power in the late 1880's to power the trams & lights up until 1964.
It would be a real pleasure strolling around the cobblestone streets on a sunny day with all the different views of the city to enjoy. What you were saying about the weather , that explains why there's all those ☂️on show , I didn't realize it could be so windy 🌀 there with so much damage blowing down trees causing power outages along with flooding to , as charming as it is to visit maybe think twice to anyone wanting to move there. It is kinda weird that it feels & looks like your back home but still in north America , spotting Mustangs a giveaway I've heard muscle cars are very popular in QC , they did try selling french cars like Renault but they rusted to quickly I'm not surprised , American motors built french cars but give up in 87 , Peugeot did much better but didn't sell enough & left by 91 , you'll find plenty of vintage ones for sale at John scotti classic cars .
It was well worth it crossing over on the 🛳️ to Levi's , in case your wondering that long ship the oshima came all the way from the marshall islands in the Pacific. I wouldn't mind taking a cruise along the river especially at sunset when the jolliet all lit up , you can have a 5 piece meal that's prepared on board it's all very atmospheric. With all the doggies 🐕 you come across on your travels , you could even turn it into a shorts game can you spot the breed now , Leonbergers are like gentle giants with a good temperament just what you need while your hiking , there a mix breed ain't they including a St Bernard ( there a resemblance) & a great Pyrenees , there supposed to look like the lions on the coat of arms back in German , there's a rescue & welfare club for them here in Britain. I recognized the other ones , I'm sure there Afghan hounds because my aunt had one there very high maintenance with silky coats & timid by nature , they were bred here but originally despite their name came from Egypt , but there is a sheepdog cross in Afghanistan.
The museum has some amazing exhibits , QC early history's fascinating with its trading with the natives & they do have carved totems on display , they might be from further out west I don't know , do you see that gold wooden chair there a old violin along with a famous composer , they recreated a whole street to , it's so big you probably didn't have much time to see everything. What I can't believe is there's so many Walmart's , a 108 last time I counted , hopefully it won't go the same way as the USA with all the crazy antics , do you think they import that much authentic french food or what , I do know they use locally sourced beef & pork , I don't know if that's where you got your 🥖 from & how the bakeries really do compare with back home , you do have to get the texture just right , have you got a favourite sandwich , I do like those cherry tomatoes with cheese & crisp lettuce with seasoning if I'm keeping it simple on mine , that ice cream maple looked so delicious it also comes with honey 😋 I'm glad you picked up a cool rush mug , let us know when you've tasted the beer , there alot of rock stars & celebrities ( kid rock just got caught out drinking bud) who have their own brands.
It been another great blog , liked the groovy jazzy music you always pack so much in even if it's short , if you did come across someone that was prejudiced any time in your company would soon change there mind. Hopefully you did took my advice about the glasses , if I come across anything very interesting & enlightening you know where to find it 📍 Merci FF, one day I'll come over for a visit on the channel 🚅 Look after yourself & Take care 🤗 🧡 🖐️
Kudos also on the fabulous big band music !! Loving it !!!
I'm glad you are enjoying your Canada visit. That maple ice cream looked delicious. I can see you are definitely a Mustang girl. Enjoy your trips. Can't wait to see the next video.
Mustang Sally.
I always enjoy your videography and choice of music. Also, I'm a Mustang fan too.
Quebec City is more friendly I think than Montreal. As for your French, they would adapt. My French as an Anglo likely grates on them more but they are friendly just the same. Unlike some parts of the Province.
Thanks! Watching this was really pleasant to watch. Wished you could have brought your Mother and Father (brothers and sisters) there with you to see their reactions to French Canada it would have probably have been interesting. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Aloha.
That would have been great !! Thank you 😊🙏
Excellent video! Not often I get a chance to hear tourist from France talk about Quebec, and I was always wondering about the language difference. Sorry about the bread though...there are places, I'm sure, in Quebec and I am sure Canada that have good bread.
A French manager once told me the Quebecois sounded to French ears like someone from Shakespeare's time would sound like to British ears.
The Montreal accent sounds harsh to a European. "C'est un choc pour un Européan!" someone from Belgium said to me once. He'd been in Canada for a long time.
I have heard English say much the same about American English. I take it as a compliment, even though it isn't meant to be so.
Yes, Rush, my favorite band !
Glad you had a good time. Looks like a beautiful city. I've heard they are actually renowned for their cheese so maybe you could try a tour of the Route des Fromages next time.
Canadians are for the most part very friendly. I've been to Quebec City and Montreal many times and I love both cities. Quebequois don't have any issues with the 'french' accent, it's normally the other way around. French people from France are the ones who always make fun of all the other French speaking countries. Loved your video, keep them coming ❤❤❤
Not everyone. I remember my French room-mate in Montreal tried to use French-Canadian terms with me and teach me the French equivalents as well. Or,. she'd forget about using French-Canadian terms because I was an Anglophone learning the French language so she'd just talk to me and an Anglo friend of mine in European French. Here, in Kingston, the French Dept at Queen's valued European French over Quebecois French. One retired prof made a point of telling Quebecois Francophones what the correct French term was. That didn't make her many friends I'll tell you. One French teacher of my son spoke English with an Irish accent because that's where he'd learned in English, but wanted the French-Canadian students to use French terms! There was quite a battle at the high school about that.
My aunt lives in Canada and she is French. She says the people in Quebec are rude to her. They think that she thinks she is better than them, because she speaks proper French. She is the sweetest person and doesn't think that way at all.
@@counselthyself2591 They said that to her. It wasn't her wording.
@@counselthyself2591 Yes every person in Quebec formed a line and said that to her... Quit being ridiculous.
@counselthyself2591 Canadian French is French as spoken by Canadians, and includes the variants of Québécois, Acadian, and Michif (the language of the Metis).
@@counselthyself2591French is french. They don’t teach slang in schools. Do they teach American English in the usa and British English in England? It’s just a different accent that you need to get used to. If tou think you wont get some contempt using a Quebec accent in Paris, I got some news for you. Aholes are everywhere.
French think they are better than us and that we sound stupid with our accent. I heard it quite often.
Je sais pas qui t'a dit qu'on aime pas les Français, mais c'est complètement faux! On vous aime les cousins! Bon, des fois certains Parisiens peuvent faire chier, mais ils font chier peu importe où ils sont dans le monde, incluant Paris haha!
J'espère que t'as aimé ton voyage et que tu reviendras nous voir! :)
🤣
Pas tous les Parisiens , faut pas généraliser 😉
Imbécile!
J’allais dire la même chose 😂 je pensais que c’est les français qui n’était pas fan de nous les québécois.
je suis chauffeur de taxi a Québec depuis 8 ans, Il y a les bons touristes français, les mauvais, et les étudiants a l'université....
Premièrement le pourboire et pas inclus dans le prix des services, c'est un classique les français tips pas ou pas souvent et c'est 15 % minimum...
Notre vin est dégeux notre pain aussi, et notre café c'est pas du café on le sais, a force de ce le faire dire on se fait une mauvaise opinion des français.
L'histoire des Québécois est encore vive dans le coeur des francophones. Les Français nous on abandonné comme une vieille chaussette au britannique et eux ils nous ont pas mal traité comme de la merde jusqu'à se que certaines personnes se révoltent et d'autre se radicalisent (Crise d'octobre 1970).
Finalement les étudiants français sont pas toujours respectueux de nos coutumes et sont radins.... J'entends souvent ( oui mais chez nous....) On le sait !
Pour le reste sa nous fait toujours plaisir de parler français et de vous voir!
4:42 Fun fact : The Saint-Laurent "river" is one of the most perilous places on the planet to navigate for these huge ships, so much that only a specialized pilot is allowed at the "steering wheel" so usually, when they get here, an authorized pilot will take over cause they know where the shallow part is, to avoid getting stuck and to make sure they don't destroy our bridges. From Québec to Montréal, it's far from being "un long fleuve tranquille" (a french expression) with this kind of ship.
Just to let you know Canada also borders France. Not only USA.The small islands southwest of the province of Newfoundland. Look it up on the map and you will be amazed 😁
Rush makes me happy. Glad you enjoyed Canada. 👍👍
i live in Lévis. pronounced lay-vee
Thank you!
@@FrenchTasticExplorations It is pronounced "Leave us" in English by the way. Or it used to be. I'm in Kingston, Ontario now so nobody here would even know what I was talking about if I said "Lévis" or "Leave us". My father always called the city "Leave us". He didn't speak a word of French so his English would not have been contaminated by Francophone pronunciations.
Im a poutine guy! I love it. But they’re not good everywhere… same goes for bread i guess. But i hear that the poutine at La Banquise in Montreal is very good. I live near MTL and never went myself. Gotta do that soon!
I really enjoy watching your travel vlogs, thank you for keeping up with them. I have submitted my passport for renewal largely thanks to you! I can't wait to start traveling again.
Oh, and I enjoy how much you love Mustangs, that's so great!
Awesome 🤩
Mustang’s are following you around!
I haven't seen one of your videos in a long time! Your English has improved so much. I mean you always spoke English pretty well but you express yourself much more precisely and you use a high level of vocabulary. Just a little correction on the pronunciation of Levy. Even in English, we would pronounce it almost as you do in French. They way that you said Levy is correct if you are talking about the brand of jeans.
There are so many nice restaurants in La ville de Quebec. You didn't mention that you went to any. Did you not go to the Boulangerie Paillard? It is so good and you would have had good bread there for sure. I enjoyed your video and you are open respectful of the culture. It would have been nice to see you interact with the Québecois in French as someone else mentioned.
En anglais, on dit Lévis comme en français…
Poutine - le fromage n’est pas un fromage raffiné ou âgé par exemple. On devrait utiliser du fromage blanc - very squeaky non-aged cheese that is very mild and very stringy when it melts. It should be used the day it’s made - and not refrigerated for the best taste. So there’s no point in comparing it to any other cheese. However, there are really good curd cheeses and some bad ones. Poutine should always be made with real gravy made from a roast, and even with some pieces of meat… But that’s just my taste. Glad you enjoyed yourself!!!
My father from northern New Brunswick pronounced Lévis as "Leave us". I kid you not. He'd be about 105, if he were still alive.
We are not in season right now but next canadian visit go to a hockey game
Growing up in Quebec City in the 70.s the falls were free and open to all you could swim to the falls on a hot summer day. The train to the East used to depart from Levis.
Doesn't it still? My father used to take the train to northern New Brunswick all the time from Kingston Ontario. I"ve passed through Lévis one. It's pronounced a "leave us" in English-Canadian English or, at least, that's how my father pronounced it.
Thank you for sharing, it looks fabulous. I have never been, even though all of my great great grandparents from both side are from the Tois Rivieres region. Would have loved to see where our family originated in Canada. - Of course even earlier, they were all from France.
Looking forward to your Montreal video. Been there twice.
omg! I lives in Lévis!!! how did I not discover this sooner!?!
0:40 The Montmorency Fall is amazing! I've gotten there a couple of times before, a great place. Kinda sad you couldn't do the cable car though, because the view from there is wonderful!
3:42 the weather here change pretty quickly. A minute you'll have a big hot sun and the other the rain will be so strong you that you feel like you're receiving small balls in the face. but one thing that never change is that it's pretty humid here, so hot days get really hard to go through some times. warm times aren't during may, they are more during end of June, July, august and beginning of September. so be aware of that if you come here!
4:27 the "cold" of the may doesn't bother us that much because we're used to colder temperatures! it's can be actually fairly comfortable in may to be outside without much on you. I think you get used to those stuff over time.
4:45 yes, the federal Oshima! I go to school very close to the fleuve, so I see the fleuve fairly often, and I can assure you we can see it often on it. one of the biggest boats you'll often see on it, at least from my opinion.
5:34 Lévis is very much worth visiting! very good things to do there! but, I don't think you picked the right month for it. a bit latter in the summer, there is the horse competitions a bit everywhere there and the MANY farms that host things. personal favourite, Les Bleuets du Vire-Crêpes, a blueberry farm and they're blueberry ice cream is AMAZING. definitely something to try.
7:32 le musée de la civilisation! it's a classic of Quebec as this point, I don't know anyone that live in Quebec that as never been there. A lot of schools often go do activities there. definitely something to try if you ever go to Quebec!
9:50 I also love maple ice cream! a classic from here, along with our dear ketchup chips, poutine and Tim Horton. again, don't know anyone who's never tasted that one, here. I fairly believe our Quebec poutine Is the best you'll get. personal favourite, the poutine of la fromagerie Victoria.
10:35 I wear a school uniform! not every school, actually most of them, have a uniform. but, a lot have them, both public and private school.
I think some people might be careful with what they say to French people in Quebec because they feel judged by them sometimes on the accent, the words we use and food. French in general, not everyone, love to compare food to France’s, and also they find the accent funny or ask to repeat a word cause they find it « interesting » which can offend some Quebecois (we have thin skin here). Anyway I am glad you had a good experience overall 😊
I think it's when the French try to tell a Quebecer how a word should be said or how it should be used that they take offense. The Francophones from Europe who adapt the best are the ones who use Quebecois vocabulary or at least accept it as being the language of the North American French.
With friends from Paris, they flew in, met them in Montreal. The QC and Chicoutimi...had a blast 30 years ago!
I think Canadians are known for being friendly and hospitable. There will be exceptions of course - but from the Atlantic to the Pacific we love visitors!
americans are nicer than Canadians .... Quebec and maritimes are the nicest people in Canada ... Ontario are rude and 50 % of Toronto and VAnacouver people were not born in Canada but India or China ...no canadian culture and living in guetthos
Go elsewhere, especially with an American and see the huge difference.
my god. It's unbelievable.
i walked through customs to generally friendly situation.
my Canadian born but carrying a US passport friend got treated like garbage.
@@MPlain I travel a lot... well used to. I can not even guess at the amount of times I encountered Americans who identify as Canadians - cliche - you bet - but effective! The saddest thing is that the Americans who stand out - The most obnoxious A-Holes on Earth sometimes try to hide behind a cover of a Canadian flag on their cases. Thankfully the World is much smaller than those Murican's realize. Distinct dress, distinct attitude, distinct accent give them away to most seasoned agents around the World. I am frequently embarrassed by Americans because so many of my Friends are American, but I must admit I no longer get involved with any avoidable conflict (usually due to language). It simply is not worth it... That type of Murican will never understand that help is normally appreciated with a thank you - hopefully with an apology to the victim of their ignorance. Hopefully Murican's will just stay in Murica forever!
@@stever2583 as an American who has travelled overseas, I can, unfortunately, understand exactly how you feel and that your observations are correct.
@@stever2583They are brought up to think that English and America are the greatest things on Earth, I guess. A friend of ours from Florida was telling us about his trip to Bruge where he'd parked in front of a judge's garage overnight and was getting a dressing down by that judge in the morning. "The cop spoke better English than she did." he said. I think a cop in a tourist area might be required to speak better English than a Belgian judge who doesn't work in English. He thought because of her position she should speak impeccable English, I guess. He never thought to ask himself what for? His wife was outraged that a student she had in elementary school was born in the U.S., but didn't speak English. We Canadians wouldn't find that outrageous.
My wife was born and raised in Quebec City. In fact, we were there around the same time as you. The family across the street from my in-laws are from France, they emmigrated here a few years back ...
An ocean going ship can go all the way to the prairies Duluth Minnesota. On the st Lawrence waterways
Even the French-Canadians are snooty to the actual French from France.
Marie experienced the feeling on how the Quebecois treat the rest of Canada.
Thanks for coming.
Glad you enjoyed Quebec City! I live in British Columbia and always had a great time visiting there. I am told that Quebec French is different because of its isolation form Metropolitan France, therefore an older sounding accent, vernacular, etc. Further, you can visit part of France without crossing the ocean, although it is still a little far from Quebec. The Islands of St, Pierre-Miquelon off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador remain a territory of France.
Every things looks huge in Canada and beautiful . THANK'S😀😀
I enjoyed this trip episode and from your smiling face for most of it you enjoyed yourself. Even if they didn't like French people how could they not like you
I've been head over heels in like with her since I happened to see her react to an old song a couple of years ago.💖💓⚘
I suppose that Canadian French vs.
French French may have enough of a difference to make Canadians ... flinch a little?
I learned in high school Spanish class that a person from Mexico visiting Spain could have some difficulties communicating because they are speaking Mexican Spanish, not Castilian Spanish like the natives of Spain.
I wonder how well your French would be recieved in New Orleans?
@@smg85051 It depends, if they used only their slangs to communicate with Spaniards in Spain, they sure would have a hard time. But unlike French vs. Quebecois French, both Mexicans and Spaniards would actually be able to communicate if formal language were used. Quebecois people speak French in a way any non-Quebecois hardly understands. It's their vocabulary, their accent, even their pronunciation of words like "Arrêt", "Tête", "Baleine", among others, vary.
@@smg85051Most people wouldn't speak French in New Orleans. Those that do have probably studied in French and may have even gone to France or emigrated from France so they would probably speak French very well and understand European French.
The wind was too cold -- I like to remind people how far to the North "Europe" actually is. London-Amsterdam-Berlin are around 52 degrees Northern Latitude. Paris and Munich are in the 48 ballpark. Quebec City is at 46.8N and with Milan(o) at 45.4N, so we can say that Quebec City is between Paris and Milano. The reason it's cold is because of the cold ocean currents along its coast and because it does not have land mass above it that heats up the atmosphere in case of a Northern wind, so what you feel in case of Northern wind comes straight from the Arctic.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Thomas Gabriel from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask??❤
Weather can suck here for sure :P But, apparently, Montreal is one of the city that have the most sun in a year, go figure :) Glad you enjoyed our place, come back again ! We love our cousins !
Quebec and winterlude, enjoying beaver tails or skating Rideau canal are winter activities worth checking out. Spring has tulips in Ottawa. Officially 4 distinct seasons, sometimes all in a 24 hour period.
the bike route to Montmorency Falls is great trip.
Glad you enjoyed the lovely city of Quebec. The idea that the French don't like Americans reverses in Canada? The quebecoise don't like the French? Ok..been to both places and never felt or seen that...but then I'm a tourist..what do I know. Smiles, a reserved/respectful distance, a few native phrase attempts...what can happen? 😅😊 Hi from staid, comfortable Wisconsin...we just eat cheese and drink beer...we're happy campers. 🍺🍻🙂
Loved Quebec last time I was there… enjoy!
So interesting for me, as a Canadian, to hear your appreciation for this great country. It’s fashionable today to take issue with all things “colonial” (I am convinced many people have no idea what the word actually means much less how it fits in with world history and the age of empires), but I am reminded there would literally be no Canada without it. Period.
It is far easier to lose a country than to build one. Thanks for your positive contribution!
I wasn't aware that the genocide of indigenous peoples was an opinion that went in and out of fashion.
@@Hadogei123456789 You make my point.
The report refered to cultural genocide and yes, our PM acknowledged the term as apt when referring specifically to Residential Schools, that dark chapter in Canadian history that lasted into the 1990s, that sought to "kill the Indian in the child."
That you should equate it with "colonialism" is perfectly in keeping with the fashion.
I'm glad you had fun visiting the city! As a french canadian I often find it weird to speak with French toursits because I understand what they say but I fear that they won't understand what I say or that I'll end up trying to mimic their accent so they can understand my words and that doesn't feel right lol Nothing to do with loving or hating people😄💜 oh and by the way you are right the wind is STRONG ! 😆
Most of Canada’s historical stuff is there in the Atlantic Provinces, Quebec , and Ontario.
I totally fell in love with Quebec City and need to get back and spend more time there.
Next time though, you need to come out here to Vancouver and Victoria, you won’t regret it.
Most of Canada’s colonial history is in the east but the whole of the continent has plenty that stretches back thousands of years. History didn’t begin here with European settlement in North America.
@@JasonKucherawy True that.
There’s a place near the mouth of the Fraser River just a couple of kilometres from where I am now that was a continuously inhabited settlement for over 9 thousand years before whitey got here and built a cannery and a railroad on it.
Hell it could have been inhabited much longer than that because I believe this area was not covered in ice during the last ice age.
At least not covered by ice like the way most of Canada was covered by ice 12+ thousands of years ago.
The history of this land was not taught much at all in school.
I didn’t even know about residential schools until I was in my thirties.
So yes, in my post I was talking only about the history of the formation of the country of Canada and of English speaking Canadas fights with France and the U.S.
@@JasonKucherawy Thousands of years of what ? Sleeping in a fish smoker ?
