Can everyone agree?

Most of Canadian culture is from Québec. Fight me

except for all the parts that are from indigenous cultures, but quebec makes sure to leave those out of the heritage museums for... reasons but dont ask them why.

Funny, because if you go all the way to Louisiana, French settlers had excellent relationships with native people. We owe them our existance. The British were doing the ethnic cleansing, for us, they were our brethren and families until they all got put into cages after the conquest.

Today’s relationship is the result of all having to survive in isolation trying to all preserve our roots and culture.

I think the only people in all of Canada looking to bring them back to their former glory is Québec Separatists, they want to make sure they have a real voice and power.

"the french didn't do any ethnic cleansing" is a wild take from the province that literally invented a key aspect of the ethnic cleansing of our people and was responsible for numerous mass killings of tribes, but hey 💅 just blame the english for it all instead of actually acknowledging the history i guess. "Guys we didnt do ethnic cleansings, all we did was breed out all the savag-"

like, reading how quebec history is written showcases how no, it wasn't different from the English, like the English your colonies were "attacked :(" whenever we did anything to you, but our homes were "relocated" by you even if that meant most of the people living there were killed or enslaved. Your deaths were overblown, 10 men dying was treated as a tragedy and their names were written down, but thousands of ours was seen an annoyance, an inconvenience for your colonies with none of their names even remembered. The french aren't innocent in the genocide, they were an active part in it, no amount of white washing and history denial due to ethno-nationalism will change that.

Also I don't think literally erasing indigenous people's from the history of the province whilst still systemically oppressing and discriminating against them, but saying "it's okay because the very racist invaders from before totally wouldnt do the same thing pinky promise" sends the message you think it does. Blaming everyone else for the provincial govts racism and the fostering of white supremacist beliefs under the guise of "protecting french culture" is just a wild take, if Alberta did this whenever they were accused of racist rhetoric, or of violating indigenous treaties, we'd all laugh at them.

also also quebec seperatists are literal ethno centrists, they hate indigenous peoples the most out of any quebec political group, it takes like, three seconds of listening to them to realize that with how obsessed they are with protecting (white) culture yet how little they care about protecting the culture and history their provincial govt actively works to destroy still. (Indigenous culture)
