lol, they wouldn't stay there long even if they wanted to. Quebecers are some of the most smug fucks you'll ever meet in your life. If you don't speak their exact type of french they get pissed off and have a massive attitude.



This.

Was in Ottowa with Mrs. Tali a few summers ago to visit her family and go to a wedding. We took a day to go sightseeing. At some point in the day we were just across the river from Quebec (looking at some building - government office of some type?) and this very cute French-Canadian came up to me and start yammering away in French. At some point I held up my hand and said something along the lines of 'I'm sorry miss, I don't speak french'.

She fracking lost it. Threw a fit. Literally had a spaz fit in front of me.

I obviously upset her and had NFC why. I tried to talk to her and she eventually started to listen and actually hear me (I have a fairly thick drawl.) She put two and two together, figured out I was an American and proceeded to have a very pleasant conversation with me about the city. Totally did a 180 on the spot. Went from Wicked Witch of the West to Good Witch of the East.

My wife had to explain to me what that was all about. I was totally puzzled. `

She prolly thought you owed her child support or something...

yes, it does explain the fact why a city founded by the british, using british institutions and british methods has become far far richer than China. As the diaspora likes to say...any place is better for chinese than china.

I used to think the same but my last couple trips to Montreal have been fantastic, French girls are our national treasure IMHO.
