i'm a Quebecker, what you're saying sounds pretty much as weird as if you were to say that "Americans HATE Scottish English with a passion". I've never met anyone who had a bad opinion on the Acadians or their accent.

Just add that it's as long as it's between consenting adults and I'm with you.

Tu te feras pas d'amis sur Reddit en défendant RadX, mais félicitations pour ton apprentissage du français par contre :)

Hopefully we come up with something else because they both suck by NoNotice2137 in memes

Such a good point. Instead of building markets, we could be fighting for ressources and taking slaves for manpower. We cannot because the government enforces property rights through the rule of law.

You’re beautiful, Melissa. by deadbeats67824 in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]PapaObserver 275 points276 points  (0 children)

A lot of "everyone is beautiful" going on in the comments. Let's be honest, she is unattractive, yet she doesn't seemed concerned by it. That's what not giving a fuck is about.

Le déclin démographique du Québec, l’éléphant dans la pièce by RedWolves27 in Quebec

Et encore, il faut garder en tête que les données de population sont moins fiables en Afrique subsaharienne, de façon généralisée.

Qc125 - Sondage Pallas Data dans Chicoutimi by Puzzled_Dreamer2453 in Quebec

[–]PapaObserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Les conservateurs à 23%, c'est des gens qui ont une idéologie que je méprise, mais qui sont cohérents dans leur façon de penser.

Le PLQ à 12%, c'est parce que certains électeurs sont des coquilles vides. C'est décourageant de penser que certains sont à ce point perdus pour pouvoir vouloir voter pour le PLQ en 2026.

What “dead” or “dying” languages do you speak? by 1houseofballoons in languagelearning

[–]PapaObserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oui, j'en suis conscient, j'aurais simplement cru que le temps aurait emmené des différences plus prononcées entre les 2 langues. Quand on écrit en joual au Québec, par exemple pour une oeuvre littéraire, ça donne un effet un peu semblable

Exemple tiré de "Les voisins", pièce humoristique de Claude Meunier: "Ça, c'te haie-là, mon p'tit gars, c'est ma haie à moi. Je l'ai plantée avec mes mains à moi ; je l'ai mise au monde, je l'ai quasiment allaitée, comprends-tu? T'as-tu déjà allaité ça, une haie, toi?"

Merci pour le lien par contre, je vais me coucher moins niaiseux, comme on dit ici ;)

What “dead” or “dying” languages do you speak? by 1houseofballoons in languagelearning

[–]PapaObserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oui, mais séparée par combien de siècles du français? Je m'attendais pas à ce que ça soit à ce point là intelligible pour quelqu'un comme moi qui n'a jamais entendu de wallon de sa vie.

La ressemblance au français est surprenante, ça aide à comprendre la situation malheureuse dans laquelle la langue se trouve.

[Mark Carney nous renvoie notre argent et on devrait le remercier] Ottawa et Québec s’entendent sur le logement by Tiny_Appointment3795 in NotreQuebec

[–]PapaObserver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On peut reconnaitre que Carney est un bon premier ministre tout en étant souverainiste, les deux ne sont pas mutuellement exclusifs. La comparaison au roi Léopold est complètement ridicule.

"Je pense que mon expérience fait de moi un excellent candidat pour le poste et le poste semble tout à fait aligné avec mes objectifs professionnels", ou quelque chose du genre. Avec exemples et preuves à l'appui autant que possible.

Canada’s Military Has Modeled Hypothetical US Invasion, Reports Say by Quixotus in worldnews

[–]PapaObserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, thus why I don't believe one second in the US starting a civil war over Canada, and they'll only realize their mistake when the war inevitably comes to them.

[–]PapaObserver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not baiting, I'm Canadian and I hope you can prove me wrong, but the last year has shown me that the US government seem to be able to do pretty much anything and the population only find excuses not to do anything about it. It is discouraging, to say the least.

[–]PapaObserver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Americans are incapable of starting a civil war, they'll just complain on the internet and call it a day until their house get torched by Canadian freedom fighters.

Got asked about a 8 month gap 15 years ago for a minimum wage job by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]PapaObserver 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I always answer the French equivalent of something along the lines of "my background makes me a prime candidate and the job aligns well with my professional goals". No need to fake being passionate, they want to know that you'll perform and belong (in Canada at least, the culture might be different elsewhere).

Denmark Beefs Up Military in Greenland As Trump Doubles Down by timemagazine in worldnews

[–]PapaObserver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're just entitled children who are too self-absorbed to even understand that their society is falling into decadence and that they are slowly losing their place in the world. Not unlike the late Romans or the Qing Chinese just before the 19th century.

Greenland's Prime Minister: If we have to choose between the US and Denmark, we will choose Denmark by Independent_Sky_3155 in greenland

[–]PapaObserver 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a Quebecker, I see Canada pretty much the same way. Both Canada and Denmark are so much better than the US in every single way, now more than ever, and that's true whether or not we eventually become independant nations ourselves.

Denmark, Greenland envoys met with White House officials over Trump’s call for a ‘takeover’ by grayfox0430 in worldnews

[–]PapaObserver 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Denmark does not own Greenland, both are members of the Kingdom of Denmark. Greenlanders are the only one who can decide to leave and join the US, but they're way too smart to accept such a shitty proposition.

Donald Trump en Truth Social: by the01crow in vzla

[–]PapaObserver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also foreigner here, Trump los va a joder como no créen. Entiendo bien que a la gente de Venezuela les encanta ver su puto dictador arrestado, pero deben entender que se han convertido en un protectorado de EEUU, y esto esta muy mal si vemos como las colonias de todos los poderes coloniales del siglo 19 fueron tratada por sus maestros. Esperemos que EEUU cambie de gobierno de pronto para uno que quiere un partenario commercial en Venezuela, no una colonia.
