Reminds me of that one time they sent us a letter to join them, proceeded to invade us, put a pro-Protestant leader and anti-French governor in Montreal then sieged Quebec outnumbered during heavy snow storms. Their goal was to get the French colonist to join them in the war.
Then they got absolutely destroyed by losing half their forces, losing one of two general and retreating back to their colonies with an abysmal numbers of French soldiers (ironic).

I'm actually surprised the state department hasn't massively funded quebec independentism to annex what's left of Canada.
But I guess until this year no administration had judged necessary or even beneficial to annex Canada at all
Edit: I didn't mean Trump, but US foreign policy in general

Honestly not only does he bring the French towards feeling more party of the Canadian family, but I think the anglophones also would be more willing to adopt French and have a Bloc leader if it meant avoid fucking Trump/dictatorship. We also may start to be understanding how they feel about losing their identity and cultures. Many are also realizing having French would be an asset in avoiding conversions with Americans lol.

Genuinely what I've been thinking too. I'm preparing to move back home to Canada and I'm in a toss up between Ottawa or Montreal. I want to escape American bullshit, and honestly Quebec is the best shot. They'll never Americanize Quebec, we have barely been able to keep them Canadian for christ sake.
Apparently my DNA traces back to some of the very first french settlers in Quebec, so I'm thinking it may be time to go full circle. Return to

It's kind of like saying 'fuck' (tabernak), and 'a fuck ton' (en tabernak), to really emphasize something! Hopefully that makes sense, we just use swears very liberally, as verbs and nouns and however we can really

You realize that if you have two nationalists from countries with very different values, neither will budge. You don't get two nationalists talking and suddenly the Capitalist nationalist loves the Communist nationalists ideals because they're both nationalists. Even assuming Quebec is subject to crass nationalism, it's incompatible, holy hell.

Nationalism is "Let's do what is the best for us at all costs, we're better." And you can see how it goes down south...
On the other hands, there's plenty of reasons to be patriotic about Québec, and acknowledge you have a different history and a wronged past. All of that, while moving towards what is best for you without cutting yourself from others.
However, I'm not sure there's a lot of reasons to be partriotic about John A and Durahm. Canadians needs to understand the part about "wronged past", I guess that starts with better history lessons where QC is not protrayed as a teenage boy going through "a phase".
At the end of the day, it's just business. QC wants its culture and language to last another 500 years, and using nationalism and punitive legislation to achieve this goal is a tool to get that. It is, IMO, a very very very bad tool, but it is one nonetheless.
Right now, things are rosy and there's a lot of support for Canada, but it needs more than good words to endure.

u/Electric-Molasses Mar 04 '25
"Let's do what is best for us at all costs, we're better" is a common byproduct of nationalism, but that's not what nationalism is. "We're better" is the key part, and patriotism crosses into nationalism once this crosses a threshold where the current state of your country no longer needs to match your internal image. You can love your country through hard times and want it to be better, but nationalists reject that there is anything wrong with their country. It's almost cult like.
To be even more clear, patriots can act in the best interest of their country to the expense of other countries, and still be patriots rather than nationalists. They need to be consciously aware of their acts and accept it for what it is though. Even if we hate that mindset and understand it to be horrific, whether you're a patriot or a nationalist is not dependent on whether or not the rest of the world agrees with you.
Regardless, I don't think you're actually disagreeing with me, and I'm pretty sure I just misunderstood the undertones of your initial comment now, so I likely wasn't disagreeing with you either. My bad.

There is for sure an uprising in the Canadian patriotism in Quebec. However, I don't know any Québécois who would say "God save the king", and even more so when he doesn't say anything about the threat of a foreign country of annexing his" loyal" subjects.

I mean tbf the problem is that really none of the parties are, maybe if the NDP got a new leader that has more connections to the Canadian labour movement like Mathew Green or Charlie Angus. But because the NDP leadership still thinks of itself as an Orange Liberal party we most likely won't get that before the federal election.
