    Because in our treaties and agreements they are quite literally sovereign nations that have the right to self determination. Unlike the Quebecois, they actually were here first, and they really are a minority at risk of extinction. It’s so strange how French Canadians can’t understand nuance.

      You think a group of about 7m surrounded by 360m people that speak another language aren’t at risk of seeing their culture disappear?

      The Quebecois are also recognized as a separate nation by the federal government, just so you know.

      It’s so strange how Anglo Canadians can’t understand their position in this.
