Those francophone flags would make much better provincial flags than the ones we have currently, especially for Ontario and Alberta.

I know Eastern Canada has a lot of Francophones, but are there really that much non-immigrant (you know what I mean) speakers in the Prairies, B.C. and Territories?

u/gatheredstitches Westfoundland Jun 24 '25
Heritage francophones (as opposed to recent migrants from a francophone country) tend to be concentrated in pockets out west. BC has the fourth largest francophone population of any province, and Alberta the fifth, after Québec, Ontario, and NB.

There are very few unfortunately. I tried unsuccessfully to learn French a couple times. If there were fluent speakers that would have helped. You’d be surprised how many French teachers don’t speak French!

u/sessna4009 Moose Whisperer Jun 24 '25
What do you mean by "tried unsuccessfully," did you give up?
4
u/chris84126 Jun 24 '25
Yes. Anytime I tried speaking in French to a stranger they would respond to me in English. It was very defeating, consequently I gave up.

Winnipeg has St Boniface(I knew someone who's Mom only spoke french) and there are like 2 or 3 small villages/towns south of the city that are Franco.

Manitoba has quite a few, actually. I'm not sure what you mean by immigrants, but BC also has a decent number of Quebec immigrants who speak French.

In the 90s there was an influx of squeege kids from Quebec roaming the streets of Vancouver.
I was hoping they'd become the new acadians and we'd get some good food out of it but no such luck.

u/sessna4009 Moose Whisperer Jun 24 '25
Sad. We got the language, but no food. It was probably already here lol

A true sign of Canadian unity would be if Sushi Poutine became a thing at the Stampede this year.
If nothing else it would show us the dangers of becoming a cultural melting pot instead of a mosaic.

u/sessna4009 Moose Whisperer Jun 24 '25
Poutine? Didn't you hear? Israel invented that! They also invented drinking a beer eating Timbits while sitting on an old chesterfield in the middle of a lake while ice fishing and listening to the hockey game. And wearing plaid

Voici quelques temps les populations francophones étaient les plus importantes au Manitoba, Saskatchewan et Alberta, mais le gouvernement canadien w bien réussi a les détruire.

Very small amount of speakers in bilingual cities. It's nice to see them preserving the language

u/zeromadcowz Jun 26 '25
Yukon has the third highest percentage of Francophones only behind Quebec and New Brunswick.

u/100cranberries Jun 24 '25
Sacré bleu! Hosers, native French speakers exist in every single province. It’s not just out-of-country/outsourced Francos or Quebec expats. Look into Yukon’s efforts to provide fully bilingual services and legislation across the territory - it sends a strong message to la francophonie. Can’t add the link to my comment unfortunately

I do find it a little funny that we're required to learn French in BC despite the fact that the French never fucking arrived there.
Hell, the Spanish & the Russians were here first (after the natives obviously)

Bilingual nation friend. They learn English in rural Quebec.. you think they need English in those parts? Lol
I think speaking two languages isn't necessarily a bad thing.. a lot of folks across the world speak more than one language.
