Montréal was the first city of over a million inhabitants and the first urban city in Canada, all the other cities are just wannabe-imitators who used mass immigration to turn their cities into something urban, but they will never have the same flair as Plateau Mont Royal.

"An abandoned train repair warehouse outside Montreal – converted into a replica of midtown Manhattan at Fifth Avenue between 41st and 42nd Streets – set the scene for their on-screen romance."

Even New York is sometimes not good enough for movies and Montréal is preferred.


Yes. I think they have a decades-long fight with Dominicans and therefore prefer other descriptions than Latino.



Well, I think neither me nor Bostonkid are transsexual and I'm 100% sure Maybe Bostonkid got a little affinity towards accented English once he met some real Frenchmen who made him realize how fabulous francophone culture actually is and how beautiful purely spoken French can be.
un Québécois = a (male) Quebecker
une Québécoise = a (female) Quebecker
des Québécois = Quebeckers
des Québécoises = female Quebeckers
Don't worry, Fusion, La Francophonie will still count you as a francophone once you will have taken French courses at Toronoto's upcoming FLU you don't have to pass a test, just sign up for classes, that's already enough for La Francophonie to qualify you as as francophone
Haha such dualism - good job buddy.. Psst - your secret is safe with me - This post as with the totality of all of those which you have posted provides all the confirmation I need... That all said, I wish you well dude

As for the FLU - i'd definitely look into some courses. It'll complement the Spanish i'm learning

You don't have to be able to speak or read English...to immigrate to the US. Been there, done that.

Canada HAS a immigration system. They also have a border.

Really, and I mean this sincerely....the United States really doesn't have a immigration system, we also do NOT have a border. Basically, anybody can come to the US. Currently, it looks like 50-50 with those that come through formally, to those that just cross the border.

The important difference is that Canada requires that you pretty much be well educated and be able to contribute to Canadian society NOW.

The United States pretty much accepts poor, uneducated people that would NEVER be allowed into Canada.

That makes it attractive to Latino's, and the US is bilingual with Spanish being the second language, instead of French.

THe US is not a bilingual country, they speak English. Canada was originally French and taken over English, that is a nothing like the US. When the Americans took over the western part of the country that area only was part of Mexico on paper, and not populated by any substantial Mexican population! The current hispanics in the US are immigrants almost across the board - French Canadians are not immigrants.

Nothing, but you did say in your post that the U.S. is bilingual, which it is not. (At least not in the way that Canada is bilingual.)

Right...when I lived in Canada I read the food labels in French...great.

In the US....the ballots are printed in All the languages. You get a interpreter in court and at the hospital. The US is multi-lingual...

And on and on it goes....I am an immigrant to the US....and I lived in Canada.

I think he may have meant officially bilingual. Canada has two official languages.

There is no official language in the US.

You can get interpreters in court here too, it's not unique to the US. Here's BC

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/j...s/interpreters

Same with elections.

English-French bilingualism in Canada goes FAR beyond anything that exists in terms of English-Spanish bilingualism in the U.S.

It's getting late here and I don't feel like typing out a crash course on this, but perhaps you should get more info on this before posting stuff that isn't true.
