Delicious_Pizza2735 on March 19, 2026 3:10 pm As a french from France I think canadian french make more effort to speak a “pur” french (devoid of english) than people from france. Arguably because it really change depending on the area (and I don’t know canada enough to name a specific area). They also are also under attack of their non-french neighbours that keep trying to erase french. Their french institution for french language (Academie des lettres du Québec) is infinitely better than french academy. (Obviously they use English word too but less so that a lot of french-france people).

Anglo-Normans: Are we a joke to you?
Sometimes, two wrongs make a right
