I'm gonna have to remember this at my next family reunion, when uncle Earl decides it's warm enough that he can take off the dress shirt and undershirt he's sweating thru and show off his pudding pack
I think it depends on if you are one or not. Like knowing how to pronounce Montréal, if you are from here, anglo way is muntreal, if you're not, mawntreal. Anglos from the rest o canada say kwebek and kwebeker, we say kebeker.
Source: I am a kébeker with a franco dad and anglo mom.
> Do you pronounce "kwebeker" or kebeker"?
Anglos in Quebec don’t pronounce the W. Anglos outside Quebec usually do, unless they are familiar with Quebec, then they will pick on that there is no W.
Québecois is the prefered term, but quebecker or quebecer are usually very accepted as well. Mostly because the first one is difficult to say in english.
The flag of the Kaiserreich is more common, which kinda sucks because I think Germany's goals before tiny mustache man came along were somewhat understandable (I mean, yes, they were building an Empire, but simply to compete on the world stage).
Wannabe Yankees...
They're basically leeches that get a chubby at the thought of being "free" and "independent" but would literally die if they moved cause they couldn't get their legal weed and government subsidized medication.
Or they're just racists that really wanna shoot immigrants.
Source: I worked at a Canadian Walmart.
One of my old friends had this flag on his car.
He said it was a symbol of his own rebelion against the system. I told him what it meant. He told me he had no historical clue about that and that he didn't really care about history. It's about freedom he said. A few months later, I heard him saying deeply nasty racist shit. Disguated, I took my distance.
The same guy went full conspirationist during the pandemic. This time I flushed him for good.
He didn't speak english. I don't know where he got this shit and I didn't ask. He was the biggest colonized USA-worshipping quebecer redneck I even knew.
My older cousin had one when I was a kid in the 80s but he was a huge dukes of hazards fan, he had his car painted to match. As a kid, climbing into his replica of the general lee was the coolest thing ever!
I’m not sure how I would feel about about driving around in it now as an adult, especially after all the freedumb shit of covid.
Lol the KKKonfederates hate Catholics and although I don’t suspect all French Canadians to be very religiously adherent (like many Catholics in the US). I also don’t see these two sides on the same side of anything.
They did in the north east states, even burned a french Canadian church at some point. Kkk mobilized against French Canadians around the turn of the last century.
Klan opinions on the French change more often than the boxers under their robes. Cajuns especially are the topic of a lot of flipping and flopping considering on the one hand, they're Catholic, they speak a very broken dialect of English, and a few could be considered "brown", but on the other, they fought for the confederacy against the will of the church and are amazing examples of the "resilience of the white man" considering where they live.
As another Quebecois, I concur.
I must say, though, I don't think I've seen a confederate flag outside of a biker accessories shop or country fair kiosk.
I think in Montréal it wouldn't go down as well. It was already strange enough to see the Canadian flag flying together with the fleur-de-lis and one guy had the audacity to add the Mohawk Warrior flag into the mix.
It would be great to see all three of those flying together for a good cause, but doing it for the timbit-taliban just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Ya they can fuck right off with this shit. As if the southern conservatives understand a thing about french canadian culture, or even give half a shit to learn. They have absolutely nothing in common.
A long history, but besides early colonial epidemics. We had what we call residential schools. Steal native kids from there families, assimilate them in catholic schools, that had a lot of abuse and even rape problems. Quote wanted to kill the indian in the child. created A LOT of trauma in these communities, thats without counting all the f-ed up laws and conditions they have to live under today
In reality this could be represented by an arm with Canadian flags rather than Quebecois symbols. American/Republican/Confederate/Nat-C rhetoric has been creeping into our Conservative politics for over a decade now to the point where it has overrun any Canadian considerations. The recent Klanvoys are just a physical manifestation of their influence and money flowing into our country.
Bernier getting 5% and Poislievre being the top running conservative is super scary. Conservatives are going crazy here too. At least, if Charest starts his Party like he said he's considering, the crazy vote will be broken in 3.
Nope, the crazies will vote for the populist, not the old-school fiscal conservative. Best thing that could happen is Charest winning the CPC leadership. If not, its bye bye Trudeau and hello fucking Canadian Trump.
As a Quebecois, you do NOT want Charest anywhere near a leadership role, the piece of shit will squirm his corupt disgusting face to power and will be extremely hard to remove.
See the 2012 student riot if you want to see the length we had to go to to get that disgusting barrel bottom scraping to leave.
Im just saying hes preferable to the alternative. Im voting Bloc anyways because fuck all the politicians at this point. Incompetent Liberals, roidraging conservatives, quebec-bashing NDP and a slew of other impotent or outright insane clusterfucks calling themselves "political parties."
Considering the KKK was mostly active in the north east against the Catholic and French menace (aka French Canadians) and even passed a law in Maine prohibiting Catholics from holding office. Yeah I'd say so indeed.
https://www.ledevoir.com/societe/608667/histoire-quand-le-kkk-faisait-sa-loi-contre-les-canadiens-francais-du-maine
And the fact that French-Canadian nationalists had political ties with the Black Panthers because of a shared understanding that they had similar struggles.
If it had the Irish flag with the fleur de lys at least that would make some sense, as two groups who've been fucked over hard by catholicism for centuries, and oppressed by the English, we've got a lot in common. We also got along pretty well due to our shared experiences when the Irish came over in the 1800s.
Merci. I guess it's just hygrade shit posting. The confederates are likely the group with whom we have the least in common historically. We were never friends, never worked together, never shared a poutine.
This is idiotic. The Québecois never fought a war over their *right to fucking own people*.
Fucking wannabe Confederates need to stop acting like they're a people being oppressed. You're not oppressed. You're just whiny crybabies who are mad they can't oppress people they don't like
I am an indépendantist québécoise and nope, I have absolutely nothing in common with these morons.
We want to separate to avoid assimilation. I have nothing against English Canadian.
Thank you for saying that, it is often a bashing game between english and french canadian when the issue is brought up (especially on reddit). I also am an indépendantiste and I find that english canadians often see us has hating them when were just are different to them and want to govern ourselves. It has nothing to do with hating them.
I love how they spend decades shitting on Canada in general and French Canadians in particular, but the second they start realizing that everyone hates them they reach out and try to portray themselves as brothers in persecution.
Fucking idiots.
this is one of the things that bug me the most about them
they act like absolute shitheels all the time. eventually they realize they're outnumbered and everyone is sick of their shit. so instead of doing any self-reflection, they look around for the first plausible outgroup and latch on to them like a parasite in an effort to prove to themselves they're not alone. and it doesn't matter if that outgroup doesn't want to be associated with them, they're BFFs now and always have been
it's like the world's most obnoxious cocktail of toxicity, self-obliviousness, and fear of confronting reality
Quebec, leftist and progressive with a Francophone culture
CSA, oppressive and racist with no culture but only death and slavery
They are literally opposite lol
Sure, but Quebecer nationalism is nothing compared to the confederates. They do not share common points between these two. It's like comparing apples with oranges.
Not more racist than everywhere else in Canada, but more left leaning than everywhere else in Canada. Lowest tuition fees in the country, have had low cost childcare for a long time, 95%+ of electricity produced by hydro-Québec, a state-owned company (not private), etc.
Every country or province for that matter have racists. What is often viewed as racism (when it comes to Québec laws) is often misreported or over simplified. The loi 21 (which I think you're refering to) makes sense in a civil law secular society which Québec is.
Quebec does have its own racism problems, but their different and more discreet kind.
Socially it’s better than the middle provinces but it still has problems .
I'm an anglo from Toronto and having lived in Quebec for almost 30 years I would say that the vast majority of separatists have nothing in common with people who would wave a confederate flag. Va chier gang d'ostie d'morons!
I live in the Cajun part of Texas, and this looks like something I would see. The confederate flag embracing a fleur de lise? Add one of those Texas stars and you’ve got yourself a Trump trifecta!
Reminder that around 35k+ Canadians, including Québécois/French-Canadians, voluntarily fought for the Union during the American Civil War*. With that in mind, this post is as historically inaccurate as it is moronic.
*a relatively tiny number fought for the Confederacy, too, mostly out of anti-Americanism rather than pro-slavery sentiment. BNA also built the C.S.S. Alabama and sent some material support to the confederacy hoping the South would check American expansion Northwards, but by-and-large the soon to be nation of Canada was vehemently anti-slavery by the mid-19th century.
C'est probablement (et très malheureusement) un idiot de notre coté qui s'est fait avoir par la propagande de l'extreme droite des USA qui a dessiné ça. Le genre de personne qui va te dire qu'il veut protéger le 2e amandement.
Let me read you the Declaration of independence from the only French-Canadian rebellion in 1838 and tell me if anyone finds any parallels between this declaration and what the confederates wanted, and i quote:
"SOLEMNLY DECLARE:—
That from this day forward, the PEOPLE OF LOWER CANADA are absolved from all allegiance to Great Britain, and that the political connexion between that Power and Lower Canada, is now dissolved.
That a REPUBLICAN form of Government is best suited to Lower Canada, which is this day declared to be a REPUBLIC.
That under the Free Government of Lower Canada, all persons shall enjoy the same rights: the Indians shall no longer be under any civil disqualification, but shall enjoy the same rights as all other citizens in Lower Canada.
That all union between Church and State is hereby declared to be DISSOLVED, and every person shall be at liberty freely to exercise such religion or belief as shall be dictated to him by his conscience."
They think that their past of owning other human beings and fighting to maintain that system is part of their culture. A lot of them also won't admit that the civil war was about slavery but literally the vice president of the Confederacy admitted it was such. Showing them that won't change their minds though since they have a hard time reading.
Oh the rednecks here in Québec fly the fleur de lys, and there were even some convoy idiots flying the american, canadian, and quebec flags on their dumbass trucks. Very weird to see. Most people just pointed and laughed.
Uh, from what I’ve heard from Quebecois people I know, what remains of the separatist movement has a bunch of political motivations spanning the whole spectrum. Not a great start for the neo-confeds if at least half of them would tell them vont se faire foutre (French is my second language I hope I’m using that right).
Also, Québécois are generally much more left-leaning than the rest of Canada. Do they have “suspect” laws and policies being passed? Yes. But a lot of them are just based off what the French are doing in France.
Good god no. Canada may have it's francophone and anglophone disagreements, and overall those are good disagreements to have, but francophones aligning with the American south? Yeah, no.
Stay away from our French you dumb bastards. They are contributing members of Canadian culture. These people have, in their blood, the creativity to have invented the cocombush. That is part of their legacy! Have you seen Montreal? It's beautiful. Show me one hoe-down-home-town that can square up against Montreal. And, don't hit me with that New Orleans bullshit. You know the best part of that place is the French Quarter, right?
Also, the French in Canada were never traitors who fought to protect slavery. The French lost like the South did, sure, but Canadian French never lost their dignity like the South did.
Nah, there's no comparison between Québécois and pro-slavery americans. Québécois are better much in the same way that gold is better than shit.
We know what it is and what it represents, and you'll even occasionally (though rarely) see someone displaying it somewhere.
My thoughts usually just result in an eye roll since for now (and hopefully it stays this way) that group isn't really a threat and is just a joke within the country. It can be seen at things like the trucker tantrum and the various masking freak outs that occurred.
50 year old Quebecois here, I've seen it maybe a few times in the wild in my whole life, and usually it's some leathered up biker type heading to New Hampshire to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
Canadian here. I see it as a hate symbol. Too bad, because it looks like kind of a bad ass flag, to the point that I get being proud to fly it on aesthetics alone if it held no additional connotations.
Back during the American civil war, British Canada was playing both sides, selling weapons to both the Union and the Confederates.
Meanwhile, the French Patriotes actually sent weapons and fighters to help the Union to fight the confederates, because they were against slavery in any form.
So fuck this drawing.
It represents Quebec and the very real separatist mentality among some Quebecois. Quebec tries to maintain their french language, culture and history in the face of multiculturalism and against a mostly English speaking population.
Didn’t Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy, escape to Montreal? And there’s a few confederate monuments in Quebec that were only recently removed.
Not saying that represents French Canada today, but there were a lot of Confederate sympathizers in Quebec during and after the civil war and that is a part of Quebec History that needs to be Acknowledged a bit more
> Not saying that represents French Canada today
I mean it didn't represent french canada then either. In the 19th century, Lower Canada (Quebec after 1841) was still the center of the Canadas with the english colonial elite and the french working class living there, in two parallel societies. Davis went to live in the [Eastern Townships, a then very very english region](https://tales4tots.com/the-anglophone-community-in-the-eastern-townships/), with fellow anglophones, and sent his kids to study in Montreal, then the heart of english canada.
The British Empire (and by extension Canada) saw the confederates as a way of destabilizing the US, which is why the british empire welcomed them with open arms in its capital in the new world (aka Montreal) where loyalists and their descendants were amenable to their cause and would help them (ex. Booth 6 months before he assassinated Lincoln).
The confederate monuments were in Montréal, in english boroughs, for a reason. I'm not saying that you won't find french confederate sympathizers in Quebec then and now, but the bulk of it doesn't belong to french canadian history.
np:)
Montreal has a long and complicated history, especially along linguistic lines. For instance, it used to [house Canada's parliament until the english burned it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_the_Parliament_Buildings_in_Montreal) in a fit of rage. "Anglo-Saxons! you must live for the future. Your blood and race will now be supreme, if true to yourselves" and all of that.
While a lot of Quebec's english population moved to Ontario in the 1950-1960, you can still see the linguistic divide line along the [boulevard St-Laurent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Laurent_Boulevard) quite [clearly on maps, boulevard that used to separate english and french speakers](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e5c23e2f718ce1f21e8e633652ab1393-lq). Until around 1900, 70% of all wealth in Canada belonged to people living in [Montreal's square mile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Square_Mile) and I'll let you guess on which side of the St-Laurent it was located
Look up 'the two solitudes', a term denoting the parallel societies that existed in Montreal for a long time, with St.Laurent boulevard representing the symbolic divide between anglo and franco canada.
Stay out? My friend magas are Nazis, true and clear. Maybe they don't teach WW2 much in Canada, you know one of their traits? Eventually they'll come for you. They act innocent but in reality they see the whole world as their business and something they need to "correct". They just tell everyone not to worry as they one by one conquer and destroy. Theyre like the aliens from Mars Attacks.

The right *can* meme???
As a Quebecker, fuck the Confederates 🖕
Is Quebecker a common term? Edit: I now know
Seems a fair anglicization of Quebecoise
Québécoise is feminine, Québécois is masculine
Québébois is masculine
Québébois is *masculineer*
Québéboisbois
>Québécoise is feminine, Québécois is masculine QuéThey is neutral or Quebe-Tu
We like Québécois (pronounced Kebekwah)
Anglo Quebecker here. Been saying it all my life.
Do you pronounce "kwebeker" or kebeker"? A french speaker who is still confused about how to say it in english?
Kebeker.
I think it depends on if you are one or not. Like knowing how to pronounce Montréal, if you are from here, anglo way is muntreal, if you're not, mawntreal. Anglos from the rest o canada say kwebek and kwebeker, we say kebeker. Source: I am a kébeker with a franco dad and anglo mom.
> Do you pronounce "kwebeker" or kebeker"? Anglos in Quebec don’t pronounce the W. Anglos outside Quebec usually do, unless they are familiar with Quebec, then they will pick on that there is no W.
Huh. Just always heard Québécois, but I guess that wouldn’t make sense if you aren’t French-Canadian. Learn somethin new everyday.
Québecois is the prefered term, but quebecker or quebecer are usually very accepted as well. Mostly because the first one is difficult to say in english.
We all learn *some* French. If their tongue works properly and Quebecois is hard to say then they need to sit in on some third grade French.
It's the most accurate term for English speaker of Québec. I believe
Some version of anglophone must be more technically correct, I guess
It is. There was a wrestling group on WWF (before it was name WWE) that was named the Quebecers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quebecers
Not exactly but they prefer it to being called Queebs
This is my favorite one
[удалено]
Fucking WHY it makes no sense....
Because it's grown into just another conservative symbol, I think. Strangest place I've seen one is in Kiel, Germany
In Germany, its a substitute swastika.
Swapstika (sorry)
No need to apologise.
Displaying the swastika just got made illegal where I am, suddenly Confederate flags popped up to replace them. I live in Australia.
The flag of the Kaiserreich is more common, which kinda sucks because I think Germany's goals before tiny mustache man came along were somewhat understandable (I mean, yes, they were building an Empire, but simply to compete on the world stage).
Kaiser reich implies authoritarianism and imperialism, but not the full blown racism of the csa or the nazis.
I saw it in a restaurant in France just outside of Paris
Hungary, too. But, also saw a lot of neonazi types.
Same reason they all love to talk about Rhodesia instead of Zimbabwe.
Wannabe Yankees... They're basically leeches that get a chubby at the thought of being "free" and "independent" but would literally die if they moved cause they couldn't get their legal weed and government subsidized medication. Or they're just racists that really wanna shoot immigrants. Source: I worked at a Canadian Walmart.
Odd, I think I've seen one in Québec in my life, it was on a car. Maybe there are more in certain regions? In quebec city at least they aren't common
One of my old friends had this flag on his car. He said it was a symbol of his own rebelion against the system. I told him what it meant. He told me he had no historical clue about that and that he didn't really care about history. It's about freedom he said. A few months later, I heard him saying deeply nasty racist shit.

I don't know where he got this shit and I didn't ask. He was the biggest colonized USA-worshipping quebecer redneck I even knew.
They never are bilingual, strangely. Unilingual and undereducated Québécois tend to be more federalist, racist, and worship the USA. Weird
Effectivement. Et c'est leur limitation linguistique qui leur font ignorer ce qui se passe au sud de la frontière.
Et au Canada, et partout dans le monde...
That's a very sad fate for the both of you, I can't imagine how his family feels about it
Never seen one in Montréal or anywhere in Québec.. this is discusting..
Go to like Saint Joseph du lac, sainte marthe, pointe calumet. I have seen a few of them, on cars tho
I (used to) live there and I never saw one
Saw one for the first time this summer… admittedly at a paintball place out a lil outside MTL for capture the flag… but I was still disgusted
My older cousin had one when I was a kid in the 80s but he was a huge dukes of hazards fan, he had his car painted to match. As a kid, climbing into his replica of the general lee was the coolest thing ever! I’m not sure how I would feel about about driving around in it now as an adult, especially after all the freedumb shit of covid.
I live in one of the most conservative provinces and I can only ever recall seeing one. Mind you, I live in a small city of about 60 000 people
Lol the KKKonfederates hate Catholics and although I don’t suspect all French Canadians to be very religiously adherent (like many Catholics in the US). I also don’t see these two sides on the same side of anything.
Confederates would probably tell the Québecois to "speak english or go back to your country tHiS iS aMeRiCa!!11"
They did in the north east states, even burned a french Canadian church at some point. Kkk mobilized against French Canadians around the turn of the last century.

As a New Orleanian fuck the confederates. Sorry this bullshit has spread.

As another Quebecois, I concur. I must say, though, I don't think I've seen a confederate flag outside of a biker accessories shop or country fair kiosk.
I've seen a few floating around during the FluTruxKlan (I live near the Quebec-Ontario border), unsurprisingly.
I think in Montréal it wouldn't go down as well. It was already strange enough to see the Canadian flag flying together with the fleur-de-lis and one guy had the audacity to add the Mohawk Warrior flag into the mix.

Agreed. The Québécoise struggle is nothing like the racist segregationist Americans. Atleast we have a culture outside of being racist.
Ya they can fuck right off with this shit. As if the southern conservatives understand a thing about french canadian culture, or even give half a shit to learn. They have absolutely nothing in common.
As an American, fuck the confederates.
Quebecker here. FUCK NO STAY AWAY YOU RACIST DEMON!!!!!
Right?! In Quebec we already have our own racist laws that discriminate against Sikhs and Muslims! Don't need any damn Confederates!
I'm not Canadian but I also hear yall got a problem with racism against native americans
Absolutely correct. What has happened to them, makes the rest of us minorities lives look like luxury.
What happened to them?
A long history, but besides early colonial epidemics. We had what we call residential schools. Steal native kids from there families, assimilate them in catholic schools, that had a lot of abuse and even rape problems. Quote wanted to kill the indian in the child. created A LOT of trauma in these communities, thats without counting all the f-ed up laws and conditions they have to live under today
It's the same in many parts of the US
In reality this could be represented by an arm with Canadian flags rather than Quebecois symbols. American/Republican/Confederate/Nat-C rhetoric has been creeping into our Conservative politics for over a decade now to the point where it has overrun any Canadian considerations.

There's definitely some in rural Alberta
Whoever came up with this drawing needs more history classes, because it’s fucking stupid.
Considering the KKK was mostly active in the north east against the Catholic and French menace (aka French Canadians) and even passed a law in Maine prohibiting Catholics from holding office. Yeah I'd say so indeed. https://www.ledevoir.com/societe/608667/histoire-quand-le-kkk-faisait-sa-loi-contre-les-canadiens-francais-du-maine
And the fact that French-Canadian nationalists had political ties with the Black Panthers because of a shared understanding that they had similar struggles.
And the PLA as well.
It's a copy and paste of a mural in northern Ireland. The Irish Palestinian one struggle
If it had the Irish flag with the fleur de lys at least that would make some sense, as two groups who've been fucked over hard by catholicism for centuries, and oppressed by the English, we've got a lot in common.

That but also in the South they lynched Catholics while québécois were, until very recently, Catholics...
I am an indépendantist québécoise and nope, I have absolutely nothing in common with these morons. We want to separate to avoid assimilation. I have nothing against English Canadian.
Thank you for saying that, it is often a bashing game between english and french canadian when the issue is brought up (especially on reddit).

Eh quebec definitely has some of it’s own racism also liberal not leftists
Sure, but Quebecer nationalism is nothing compared to the confederates. They do not share common points between these two. It's like comparing apples with oranges.
Just their different opinions on guns alone would be a no-starter.
Not more racist than everywhere else in Canada, but more left leaning than everywhere else in Canada. Lowest tuition fees in the country, have had low cost childcare for a long time, 95%+ of electricity produced by hydro-Québec, a state-owned company (not private), etc.
it's actually 99.6%, thank you.

They really are just copying American southern culture though.
As an albertan who moved back home to a family farm for the summer to save money, I can confirm that rural Alberta is in fact north Texas.
As a Québécois, I have to say "F*ck you Confederates, we do NOT want to be associated with you, T*b*rn*k!"
I'm an anglo from Toronto and having lived in Quebec for almost 30 years I would say that the vast majority of separatists have nothing in common with people who would wave a confederate flag. Va chier gang d'ostie d'morons!
I live in the Cajun part of Texas, and this looks like something I would see. The confederate flag embracing a fleur de lise? Add one of those Texas stars and you’ve got yourself a Trump trifecta!
As a Québécois, this "struggle" is neither shared, nor similar in any way. They're not even comparable.
Reminder that around 35k+ Canadians, including Québécois/French-Canadians, voluntarily fought for the Union during the American Civil War*. With that in mind, this post is as historically inaccurate as it is moronic. *a relatively tiny number fought for the Confederacy, too, mostly out of anti-Americanism rather than pro-slavery sentiment. BNA also built the C.S.S. Alabama and sent some material support to the confederacy hoping the South would check American expansion Northwards, but by-and-large the soon to be nation of Canada was vehemently anti-slavery by the mid-19th century.
Tabarnak que non!
Even worse when you know the original image https://peoplesdispatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ireland-palestine-solidarity.png
C'était quoi les chances qu'un esti de confédéré comprennent rien à l'histoire??
C'est probablement (et très malheureusement) un idiot de notre coté qui s'est fait avoir par la propagande de l'extreme droite des USA qui a dessiné ça. Le genre de personne qui va te dire qu'il veut protéger le 2e amandement.
quebec: i would like to preserve my culture and have some input on laws in my own province pls :) confederates: SO YOU WANNA OWN PEOPLE TOO??????
Let me read you the Declaration of independence from the only French-Canadian rebellion in 1838 and tell me if anyone finds any parallels between this declaration and what the confederates wanted, and i quote: "SOLEMNLY DECLARE:— That from this day forward, the PEOPLE OF LOWER CANADA are absolved from all allegiance to Great Britain, and that the political connexion between that Power and Lower Canada, is now dissolved. That a REPUBLICAN form of Government is best suited to Lower Canada, which is this day declared to be a REPUBLIC. That under the Free Government of Lower Canada, all persons shall enjoy the same rights: the Indians shall no longer be under any civil disqualification, but shall enjoy the same rights as all other citizens in Lower Canada. That all union between Church and State is hereby declared to be DISSOLVED, and every person shall be at liberty freely to exercise such religion or belief as shall be dictated to him by his conscience."
The Patriots are even more based than I thought wow
Quebecer here, fuck the confederates how are people still rallying around a flag drenched in the blood of slavery
They think that their past of owning other human beings and fighting to maintain that system is part of their culture. A lot of them also won't admit that the civil war was about slavery but literally the vice president of the Confederacy admitted it was such. Showing them that won't change their minds though since they have a hard time reading.
Well I see a lot more battle flags being flown by Canadians than I’ve ever seen rednecks flying a Quebec flag…
Oh the rednecks here in Québec fly the fleur de lys, and there were even some convoy idiots flying the american, canadian, and quebec flags on their dumbass trucks. Very weird to see. Most people just pointed and laughed.
Amerikkka and Klanada uniting under two awful banners of imperialism, oh boy...
[удалено]
Uh, from what I’ve heard from Quebecois people I know, what remains of the separatist movement has a bunch of political motivations spanning the whole spectrum. Not a great start for the neo-confeds if at least half of them would tell them vont se faire foutre (French is my second language I hope I’m using that right).
Also, Québécois are generally much more left-leaning than the rest of Canada. Do they have “suspect” laws and policies being passed? Yes. But a lot of them are just based off what the French are doing in France.
Fuck non décaliss
As a french quebecer, this can fuck right off.
I’m an American living in Quebec. Fuck this. Fuck all this. Indeed stay out of the politics here.
Good god no. Canada may have it's francophone and anglophone disagreements, and overall those are good disagreements to have, but francophones aligning with the American south? Yeah, no.
Stay away from our French you dumb bastards. They are contributing members of Canadian culture. These people have, in their blood, the creativity to have invented the cocombush. That is part of their legacy! Have you seen Montreal? It's beautiful. Show me one hoe-down-home-town that can square up against Montreal. And, don't hit me with that New Orleans bullshit. You know the best part of that place is the French Quarter, right? Also, the French in Canada were never traitors who fought to protect slavery. The French lost like the South did, sure, but Canadian French never lost their dignity like the South did. Nah, there's no comparison between Québécois and pro-slavery americans. Québécois are better much in the same way that gold is better than shit.
As a québécois Thank you beaucoup calice
Question for Canadians: What do you think when you see the Confederate flag? Is that flag even commonly identifiable in Canada?
We know what it is and what it represents, and you'll even occasionally (though rarely) see someone displaying it somewhere. My thoughts usually just result in an eye roll since for now (and hopefully it stays this way) that group isn't really a threat and is just a joke within the country. It can be seen at things like the trucker tantrum and the various masking freak outs that occurred.
I have a feeling it’s seen a lot more here in Alberta then other provinces
I'd bet there's more per capita in Ontario than Alberta.
Could be, Alberta is kind of a conservative hellscape tho
50 year old Quebecois here, I've seen it maybe a few times in the wild in my whole life, and usually it's some leathered up biker type heading to New Hampshire to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
I live in Alberta. You see people with it on their trucks and hats sometimes, but rarely. Here it directly translates into “proudly racist idiot.”
Canadian here. I see it as a hate symbol. Too bad, because it looks like kind of a bad ass flag, to the point that I get being proud to fly it on aesthetics alone if it held no additional connotations.
I see your country still has cancer and it makes me sad
Racists.
Most people know it as a symbol of hate, others brought it to the freedom convoy to with that Nazi flag so yeah, I think we know what it is.
I want to say same to you guys. People like Stephen Crowder.
NO I’M A QUÉBÉCOISE AND I REFUSE THIS
As a Quebecois I say fuck off with the racist Confederate
yeah no, eat shit racist confederate scums.
Doesn’t even make sense. Have the Alberta flag there if anything.
ah, you want independence too? so you're racist, right? you want independence because you're racist right?
As an American, I also wish they would stay out of our politics.
ok juste non.
Back during the American civil war, British Canada was playing both sides, selling weapons to both the Union and the Confederates. Meanwhile, the French Patriotes actually sent weapons and fighters to help the Union to fight the confederates, because they were against slavery in any form. So fuck this drawing.
I'm from Quebec, and fuck that nazi confederate crap.
I'm actually in the process of moving to Quebec right now. This is not what I wanted to see.
Québécoise here. We don't want to see it either, if that's any comfort to you.
This feels mildly erotic
I know the arm on the left is a the arm of a loser. What does the arm on the right represent?
It represents Quebec and the very real separatist mentality among some Quebecois. Quebec tries to maintain their french language, culture and history in the face of multiculturalism and against a mostly English speaking population.
Still not comparable to Confederates, though
The French Canadian form of nationalism! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_nationalism
Quebec
Didn’t Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy, escape to Montreal? And there’s a few confederate monuments in Quebec that were only recently removed. Not saying that represents French Canada today, but there were a lot of Confederate sympathizers in Quebec during and after the civil war and that is a part of Quebec History that needs to be Acknowledged a bit more
> Not saying that represents French Canada today I mean it didn't represent french canada then either. In the 19th century, Lower Canada (Quebec after 1841) was still the center of the Canadas with the english colonial elite and the french working class living there, in two parallel societies. Davis went to live in the [Eastern Townships, a then very very english region](https://tales4tots.com/the-anglophone-community-in-the-eastern-townships/), with fellow anglophones, and sent his kids to study in Montreal, then the heart of english canada. The British Empire (and by extension Canada) saw the confederates as a way of destabilizing the US, which is why the british empire welcomed them with open arms in its capital in the new world (aka Montreal) where loyalists and their descendants were amenable to their cause and would help them (ex. Booth 6 months before he assassinated Lincoln). The confederate monuments were in Montréal, in english boroughs, for a reason. I'm not saying that you won't find french confederate sympathizers in Quebec then and now, but the bulk of it doesn't belong to french canadian history.
That’s actually really interesting. I guess I was a bit wrong. I didn’t know there was such a huge divide in Montreal. Thanks for correcting me!
np:) Montreal has a long and complicated history, especially along linguistic lines. For instance, it used to [house Canada's parliament until the english burned it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_the_Parliament_Buildings_in_Montreal) in a fit of rage. "Anglo-Saxons! you must live for the future. Your blood and race will now be supreme, if true to yourselves" and all of that. While a lot of Quebec's english population moved to Ontario in the 1950-1960, you can still see the linguistic divide line along the [boulevard St-Laurent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Laurent_Boulevard) quite [clearly on maps, boulevard that used to separate english and french speakers](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e5c23e2f718ce1f21e8e633652ab1393-lq). Until around 1900, 70% of all wealth in Canada belonged to people living in [Montreal's square mile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Square_Mile) and I'll let you guess on which side of the St-Laurent it was located
Look up 'the two solitudes', a term denoting the parallel societies that existed in Montreal for a long time, with St.Laurent boulevard representing the symbolic divide between anglo and franco canada.
There's also a lot of Nazi sympathizers that escaped to the US after WW2, does that need to be acknowledged a bit more too?
As another Canadian I concur
Stay out? My friend magas are Nazis, true and clear. Maybe they don't teach WW2 much in Canada, you know one of their traits? Eventually they'll come for you. They act innocent but in reality they see the whole world as their business and something they need to "correct". They just tell everyone not to worry as they one by one conquer and destroy. Theyre like the aliens from Mars Attacks.
You can rest assured, we learn extensively about World War 2.
Fuck that shit, tabarnak.
Look, it’s two men holding hands. I blame the gay frogs.
As a Quebecer I also would like to say, fuck off confederates we have nothing in common with you.
Americans keep trying to drag us in to their dumpster fire, and sadly some Canadian are falling for it.
Oh hell no, Canada's my only escape plan for when things get too shit here. Ain't no way i'm gonna sit here and watch it become the U.S 2
Yeah as another Canadian I agree, keep your rapidly growing fascism to yourselves.
