You only need look to the participants present on any given thread taking such a poll to understand the results, n'est-ce pas?

Its insulting in the sense the OP assumes that Quebec makes no impact on Canadian government. French is a official language if the PROVINCE was a colony English would be official and French would be a side language...

English was an official language until only a few decades ago. I find it ironic that a British person is trying to educate us on what is and isn't offensive. No thanks, we don't need your "help".

In the minds of many French it is a colony and they won't allow themselves to be anything more. It's self colonization.

Well someone needs to educate you on what you find offensive, as you've been offending without any demonstrated civil restraint.

Take a look at the string of self-victimization. Francophones are 100% equal but apparently the "Anglos" are still evil oppressors.

You mean those idiotic memes that you post just to make fun of the Quebecois? Yea, memes are so old school man.

You are letting your prejudice cloud your judgement. Francophone self empowerment should not be confused for victimization. Few francophones view anglo Canadians as oppressors. The myth of francophone victimization is a phenomenon of the media, not reality.
