    As a Quebecois, I like that Canadians like poutine. I don’t like that they pretend they have invented it. I also like that they like maple syrup and the traditions surrounding it (cabane à sucre). I don’t like that they appropriate it as a thing of their own (we produce 90% of global maple syrup).

      As a Quebecois

      You may not like it, but as a Quebecois you unfortunately remain part of Canada and thus are part of the set of Canadians and the creations and practices of Quebec are Canadian as a consequence.

      To change that, you’ll need to double down on that Free Quebec stuff and cut yourselves away from your English neighbors. Though I don’t think that’s even won an opinion poll in the last twenty years, and I don’t think it’s ever been closer than the failed resolution in 1995.
