Quebec isn't all French Canadians, there are some living in the whole country and you're completely ignoring what's going on in the rest of the country if you think that Anglo Canadians aren't intentionally racist towards French Canadians and Anglo Canadians are treated better in Quebec than French Canadians are treated outside Quebec so I don't know how you can say we're intentionally racist while pretending that Anglos aren't except for trying to defend those you feel closest to.
You're the one that originally said that Anglo-Canadians didn't realize how racist they are toward French-Canadians, not me. All I'm doing here is agreeing with you, and adding that French-Canadians do realize how racist they are, because for them it's literally a matter of widely supported, highly publicized government policy in addition to being a deeply-ingrained cultural chip-on-the-shoulder.
You can either take our lived experience at face value and gain some perspective, or you can continue to bury your head in the sand. Either way I'm tired of yet another Quebecer gaslighting me about how good I have it here, so I think I'm done. Bonne nuit.
Look at New Brunswick that keeps electing a Premier that was part of an anti French group and refuses to speak French, look at Ontario with Ford that just cut French services as soon as he got in power.
If you think Quebec is bad it's because you never took the time to check what's going on elsewhere and to learn Canadian history.
If it's sucks so much to live in Quebec I don't know whabt pushes you to stay either, you said it yourself, you're 50km from another province where things are so much better so... Move?
Also, it's Quebecois.
Bonne nuit.
