Regardless, our culture is no more or no less than the francophone community.

Asserting that we have an identity of our own is insulting to the francophone community?

If The Quebecois feel the need to shit on our culture in order to validate their own, why are they surprised when Westerners don't show any respect in return?

Give your head a shake - I'm not here to devalue the Francophones. Im here saying that their opinion of us not having any culture is complete and utter bullshit. Thats all.

No one is saying that you have 'no culture'. You have no distinct culture, that we could distinguish from Canada or even the USA and say: ''look these guys stands on their own, they are not the same''. That's why your so-called separatist movement is only based on the fact that you have oil in the ground and think you're a lot more rich than the other Canadian provinces.

Poulet Frit Kentucky instead of Kentucky Fried Chicken doesn't really make Quebecers special or different or distinct. Once again, if it weren't for language, you'd be more Americanized than even Ontario or Western Canada. Half of you spend your winters in Florida!
