I hope you don't go further with this...

And? What makes, for example, Madawaska, Maine less french than Cabano Quebec?

Your claim was that "Canada is more French than anything in America". Well, that to me says you don't believe there are any french areas of the country that are as french as french areas of Canada.

As for your statement about towns verse a whole province, what are you trying to prove? Im aware of this irrelevant fact. You said nothing in America is as french as in Canada. Now that deserves a smack

Do they have more french speakers? ...Yes. But that has nothing to do with your claim

I think i would know more about Canada than you, as i have spent portions of my life there

Canada is far more French influenced as a whole. That's it.
Small towns in Maine is more of an irrelevant fact than anything I said. I was referring to bigger cities- Quebec (city) is more french influenced than any city in Americ. I wouldn't dig that deep and talk about Madawaska.

It was ignorant comment IMO. Because if you were to go from small towns in Quebec to small towns in Maine, you would barley realize you left Canada.

No I meant overall as the cities from countries.

There are high crime cities in each country, but the average Canadian city has a smaller crime rate than an American one, which has a smaller crime rate than a Mexican one.

Just FYI, the OP's link is from 2008.

Also, while it's still way too high, Youngstown's current murder rate is about 20.7, not 22.9.

Maybe, but it's safe to say you were nit-picking the life out of his statement
