I live in Calgary, it's 100% hate towards Quebec.
No other way to put it.

Well Quebec gave us Celine Dion, but it didn't give us Justin Bieber and Avril Lavigne.

Same thing here in Victoria.
Well, maybe 80% hate. The other 20% consists of people too stoned to care.

As annoying as the topic can be at times. Recent annoyances include: MOAR FRENCH at Olympics and the $2 billion HST deal. Okay, relatively speaking, recent. That being said, I do respect that they have a very distinct culture comparatively speaking, and seem to support their talent moreso than other parts of the country. Hm. I guess I am on the fence. Merde.

And what about the 4G$ for Ontario?

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
I have no qualms with Quebec, and I love going to Montreal.

As a Quebecker... *subscribed*
Yep
This hasn't been true for a couple of years now. But with the last federal election and the students' protest, I wouldn't be surprised if the separatist movement gained a lot of popularity.

I'm from BC. Fuck Quebec. Wish the referendum went the other way.

That has the potential to swing my opinion

People just don't care anymore. Quebec is a de facto country. The few people in QC that still care about Canada will be gone or dead in the next couple of years anyways.

No. If we're making generalisms, ROC sees the separatist movement this way, not Quebecois in general.

I feel like the hate from the other provinces toward Québec is way stronger than the other way. I don't know anyone who actually hate (or, when I'm thinking about it, don't like) the rest of Canada. Most people are just upset that we ended up with Harper because of them.
I wouldn't call Newfies rednecks, they're more like the Irish.

I have no qualms with Quebec - it is a beautiful part of the country that is just teeming with history and culture.
The problem I have really has more to do with the human condition I suppose, and this issue isn't solely isolated to Quebec.
As people age they tend to become increasingly insular, and subsequently afraid, particularly of change. The divisive politics of Quebec are such that most choose to prey on these tendencies with fear-mongering - by bombarding the people with the constant message that the things that are important to the identity of francophones - the culture, language and history - are under threat by 'English Canada', because, for some reason, we would want to eliminate it.
But I suppose that is politics in a nutshell - fear really is control...
It really is a shame, for Quebec is such a beautiful province, with wonderful people.
I don't have any issue with Quebec, nor its people. I do have a problem with corrupt public officials, but they exist everywhere. I just wish people were smarter than to allow themselves to fall into the fear trap.

Torontonian here. I'm okay with Quebec. Montreal is a nice city and poutine is great.
I may be in the minority here, though.
This is the opinion that many people I know share. I have the same opinion, but I'm not a jackass about it.
To flip it around, people outside of Toronto apparently hate Toronto. :lol

To add fuel to the fire, as a quebecer...
I think the ROC lacks culture. All their tv shows are about usa and usa celebrities.

I don't know if it's as bad as it was before, recently I've found that there is growing similar sentiment towards all of Ontario as well.
These threads never end well.
Here is a nice reading list for anyone interested in why Québec is butthurt:
Canada under British rule (17631867)
The Durham Report
Lower Canada Rebellion
Conscription Crisis of 1917
Conscription Crisis of 1944
Patriation
I don't understand what is so hard to understand about this:
to this :
to this :
to this :
What I find the most repulsive is how "History of Canada" just absorbs New France. Over 200 years of history, followed by invasion and attempted assimilation, to peaceful co-existence?
If we consider everything that has happened, it is a wonder why we are still a part of a country that doesn't care for us.
To be clear, I have nothing against Canadians. But you have to at least understand from where we are coming from here.
I also find it repulsive how bigotry can be openly accepted on both sides. If we all had a little bit more understanding, maybe things wouldn't be so sour...

Quebec is awesome. (I'm from BC)
Part of the political reality of Canada is that the route to power is to play one region against one another, and so as a result you often see politicians and the media try to move public opinion in one province against another province. I feel like the media in BC often develops an anti-Quebec tilt.
