Sacre bleu! Now this bad attitude is even seen in French Canada!
HEY CANADIANS - YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE NICE!
I actually found the French Canadians to be quite rude (and I come from NYC) and their accents are dreadful.
Now, the Haitians, they have lovely French accents.
I visited Canada for the first time in 2012 to attend a wedding in Ottawa. Everything in Ontario is in English & French. The Anglophones I talked to HATE the Quebecoises & resent having to learn French just to take a government job.
The “Je me souviens” motto on Quebec license plates really frosts Ontarians since it refers to a battle lost to the British over 250 years ago. Consolez-vous!! (Get over it!)
They talked of Quebeckers getting in their face if they were even HEARD speaking English across the river.
Hubby and I took a trip to Niagara Falls five years ago. EGAD! Those Canadian shop
keepers are chauvinistic, superior, and just as rude and condescending as they can be.
The best defense is to ignore their extreme rudeness, smile, and walk away, preferably
not purchasing anything from them. We did not meet a single polite or friendly person.
We did the tour and the Maid of the Mist, and then we left. ‘Twas very disappointing,
but the horrible people did not spoil the beauty and magnificence of the Falls.
At least we got to enjoy that.
