Hi everyone. I'm just finishing my grad studies as a cartographic specialist. My stuff pales in comparison to some of the map products posted on this site, but here is a link to my personal space displaying some images. I accept constructive criticism. :lol:

Just wondering... are Québécois also Canucks? Eh?


since you asked.....

When I was a very young kid, there were no Québecois, My parents would refer to my French friends as Canadiens and English ones as Anglais.

In most of Canadian history, the term Canadien (with an e like the Hockey team) refered to French-speakers while the Anglophones saw themselves a lot more ike British subjects to distiguish themselves from the Canadiens. (My friend next door for example ,was of Irish descent but had a picture of the Queen in his room!)
In the Sixties, a wave of Canadian nationalism hit anglo-cananda with the new flag and all and they kind of took over the word 'Canadian' which by now mostly meant 'not-american', As a reaction the word (and identity) Québecois took off.

This background is unknown to a lot of Canadians of both linguistic persuasion. About 15 years ago, When I was in Toronto, they booed the French Version of the national anthem 'O Canada' during a game. My Toronto friends said that if we had a French translation of O Canada, then why not an Italian one, a Spanish one , etc.... It was total news to them that 'O Canada' was originally a French song for about a hundred years and only recently translated into English.

All Canadians, from rabid Quebecois seperatists to anglo-rednecks hate when I bring up that point.

Not every American is a Yank, the America that we know today is controlled by the Jonnny Rebs, lets just remember the map illustrating the United States of Canada & United States of Texas.
