      @shalewarbringer7848 9 місяців тому +1

      ​@@coltonmerritt169 Québec is the remnant of New France, where French settlers established themselves in the 1500s and 1600s. When the British, who had their settlement in New England, won the 7 years war, they took over New France. But the French culture survived despite their efforts to eradicate it. British came to New France and were joined, after the American revolution, by american loyalists who wanted to remain subjects (a.k.a slaves) to the crown of England.
      Hence, the roots of Canada were born, from the remnants of the French and the British crowns. That is why we still, to this day, waste tax money on British royalty.

    So great to see an American comic go to Canada and do a long set about Canada and to do it with such great humor but also so respectfully in terms of truly knowing the culture and geography. I can't tell you how embarrassed I am as an American listening to American comics at JFL in Montreal who address the crowd as if in America, refers to American locations and people, and even makes American political humor without taking the slightest hint of time to inject some Canadian references. So kudos to you, Jim, for such a great Canadian set.

    "Thou shalt not speak the Lord's name in vain!.
    French-Canadians had been screwed over by the Church for such a long time, that the swear words they developed were a way to rebel against the Church, by perverting the names of holy relics into words spoken in anger, disgust, and violence. The root faded as the Church's influence did, but the swears remain.
    Now, the gravity of the swear is determined by the number of syllables it contains.

      I've always found it funny how english speakers are(/act) so surprise by the swearing of French Canadian. English speaker also use "the Lord's name in vain!". How many times have you heard an english speaker use words/swears such as; Jesus!, Christ! Jesus Christ! God! Goddamn! For Christ's Sake, For God's Sake, For Heaven's Sake.
      As the person above pointed out, this is partly due to a very large portion of French Canadian roots being Roman Catholic.
      We also use all the above swears in French but more so in situation of disgust, terror, being surprise, or in disappointment and less so in anger; except maybe for; Christ! Goddamn!
      French Canadian use the following swears more commonly when angered; Calisse! (from Chalice) Tabarnak! (from Tabernacle) Criss! (from Christ) Esti! (from Host (french. Hostie). Saint Ciboire! or Ciboire! (from Holy Ciborium/ Ciborium (french. Ciboire) Calvaire! (from Calvary/Golgotha (french. mont du Calvaire)). We also use the swear Goddamn! but in a slightly different way instead of using word God we use word Christ instead; Maudit Criss! (Maudit is french for Damn, and Criss is the swear form of Christ).
      The following 4 are also use but either when a little bit upset or with other above swear or by older generation: Sacrement! (From Sacrament) Viarge! (From Virgin (as in the holy virgin) (french. Vierge)) Bapteme! (from Baptism) Simonaque!(from Simony).

While waiting, a gentleman came out and asked "Does anyone want to take a in french (gesturing for a show of hands)? No one. Okay" and left to return into the building. A minute later, another man came out and said something like "Le tour de Parliament en Francais?" Immediately, several families rose to follow him.

    I (USA) went to Quebec City on a conference years ago. I don’t speak more than a few words of French. I love to wander around off the tourist paths. I walked into a store right behind someone who made the mistake of starting a conversation with the shopkeeper in English. The shopkeeper stared at him and replied in French. They couldn’t communicate so the man left. I said hello in French, asked the shopkeeper how he was doing, in French. He answered in French, then said in perfect English “what can I get for you?” He was offended that the previous customer assumed he could and would speak English. I showed respect by starting in French. That made all the difference.

    My late life partners parents own a cabin with a large piece of land at Lac du Otter, Countie Pontiac Quebec, ( One of the westernmost counties of Quebec 90km Northwest of Ottawa) it's kind of strange there as you can tell who is a unionist or a separatist by looking at the flag in the yards if it's a Maple Leaf, unionist, if it's a Fluer de Lis, separatist, if you go into a store, and they speak to you in French you have to reply, Ainglais sil vous plais! ( English if you please!) If they switch tongues, unionist, if they don't separatist, they'll even count your change in French! However if you are ever in that part of Quebec, the bakery in Shawville on the Ottawa River has the best pastries on earth!
