I’m sorry that you found my post offensive. Yes, it was snarky, but not meant to be offensive; it was in the same spirit as Dave Barry describing a boat trip from Florida to Bimini, where he described everyone as being so laid back that he called it the “lethargy zone”. Different regions have different cultures. As someone who spent the entirety of my younger years in Quebec, and then moved to Ontario, I was making an observation on cultural differences which I think I’m quite qualified to do based on lived experience.
Had I stated it more diplomatically, probably many Quebeckers would agree, expressing the sentiment that “we like our culture, and the ways that it differs from English formality”. Which is fine. My only real problem with Quebec, frankly, is the extent to which franco-nationalism has become a real threat to the basic civil rights of the anglophone minority.
