Cause no body likes either of them. But I on the other hand do not appreciate discrimination of any race; for it demotes the persons feeling, and the consequences interlinked with vulgar language and inappropriate comments are out of my superior mind.

Why do many french Canadians feel they are victims of discrimination?

I'm French Canadian, and I don't know of any French Canadians who feel they are victims of discrimination. I think this impression that people have (usually English Canadians) comes from two places. The first, which is typically misunderstood is the desire for public services in French. Francophiles (people who ONLY speak French) technically have the right to request any public service in French. Doctors, road signs, bus drivers and birth certificate forms are all examples of things that we have the legal right to access in French. While there is an abundance (perhaps an overabundance) of these in Quebec, Francophiles in other areas of the country have a much harder time accessing these things. The second, which is the more contentious of the two issues (though the first is fairly contentious among English Canadians), dates back to the First World War, in which French Canadians were promised that they would not be conscripted into a war which they felt did not concern them. Ultimately, they were conscribed like everyone else. It was the opinion of many French Canadians that the British government had done no favours for us, so why should we risk the lives of our fathers and sons for them? The same conscription crisis happened again in the Second World War, although many more French Canadian volunteered for the Second World War, seeing that it was more clearly a war of morality, versus a war of empires, which the first was. When they came back, they felt that in general, the Canadian government did not care as much about French Canadians as English Canadians, and gave us less rights. They formed a movement called the Seperatist movement, petitioning Quebecois people to pressure the government to allow Quebec to become its own country. Twice the entire country voted, and the most recent time, it was within a 5% marigin, to keep Quebec in Canada.

Many western Canadian towns offer French Immersion and francophone classes and schools. I think this proves how Western Canadians have accepted having two National languages.


Why do you think many french Canadians want to be independent from english-speaking Canadians?

This feeling of independance goes back to when the English conquered Canada (or Québec as it was then called) and took control over the population, who had for quite some time been under French monarchy. As the English tried to assimilate the French population to the English immigrants, by restricting the catholic religion, and imposing an education based on the English system, it was natural for the French-Canadians to feel as tough they were a nation apart. This feeling is still true for many.


How do you think Durham's recommendations affected French speaking Canadians?

Durham's recommendations in the Report on the Affairs of British North America did not specifically address French-speaking Canadians. The findings led to the unification of Upper and Lower Canada in the Province of Canada in 1841, which ultimately laid the foundation for the Confederation of Canada in 1867. This reorganization contributed to increased political representation for French-speaking Canadians within the new federal system.

Canadians think of theU.S as their neighbor to the south because Canada is no where near the equator and the U.S is near the equator. And the south is also warmer than the north. So that's why Canadians think of the U.S as their neighbor to the south.
