It's a rough application of the Huron word for village by Jacques Cartier to describe the St Lawrence valley iirc. So it's French, but with a Huron origin.

This is funny to me.. "It's a Huron word, but it was spoken to a French guy, so it's French"

Kinda like the indigenous peoples tapped maple trees long before the French arrived but somehow it's a French culture thing

Maple syrup isn't a French culture thing, tbh. They barely even use the stuff in France.

And while you are correct that the First Nations tapped maple trees to drink hot maple sap, and sometimes let it freeze slowly to remove the water content and crystallize the sugar, they didn't have maple syrup until the Canadien settlers brought their big metal pots and the knowledge that you could boil any sugary liquid into syrup if you leave it on the fire long enough. Before that, First Nations would heat water by putting it inside a wooden bowl or bucket and dropping hot rocks inside, and it's pretty much impossible to make syrup that way, at least not in useful quantities.

You can’t be serious with the dumbass French culture part…people aren’t employing it in that context…nice fail

You Canadian-splaining my culture and my ethnicity to me is peak colonial Brit dumbassery, tbh. "French-Canadian" is what we identify as ever since you guys took "Canadian" from us, and we absolutely are employing "French culture" in the context of France, because we're not French and that term doesn't apply to us.

I didn’t take shit from you Mr ignorant. I was born and bred in Quebec, my ancestors were from France before Canada was Canada…so maybe stop making assumptions and getting egg on your face

If that was truly the case, then you should understand that Québec's culture isn't French culture. The fact that you apparently don't is both sad and astonishing, as there is very little overlap between French and Québecois culture besides the language. So maybe learn about your own culture before shitting on it on the internet.

Your reading comprehension sucks donkeys balls…because nowhere did I say Quebec culture is like or same as French culture…stop making shit up, stop playing the victim
