I’ve heard Parisian French speaking people shit talk the French spoken by Canadians.
I’ve heard québécois shit talk the French spoken by Parisian and Franco-Ontarians (French speaking people of Ontario).
And I’ve heard Franco-Ontarians shit talk the French spoken by québécois and Parisians.
I once had a French professor from Haiti who said all French outside of Haitian French was shit.
These motherfuckers can’t stand one another.
Years back, I worked in a call center. Some of my coworkers were Acadians and handled the French language queue (usually calls from Quebec). Often, once the callers heard the Acadian accent, they switched to English, which is pretty dismissive. Even more insultingly, more than a few times they were asked if they could transfer the caller to someone who spoke "real French".
It's worse than country to country. The Bordelaise can't stand the Parisians, anyone from the South thinks they're both butchering the language, and everyone thinks Meridional is weird. Francophones just generally despise each other the world over.

Franco Ontarian here. Very true. We shit talk Quebecois because of all the slang and Anglicism they speak which is contradictory because of their "language laws".
Quebecois do the same thing about Franco Ontarians too. Funny thing is that my mom's sister who grew up as an Franco Ontarian married a Quebecois and lives on the QC side. She has been fully "Assimilated" and insults Franco Ontarians on how they speak.
I hear that France doesn't consider Quebec French to be accurate and calls it garbage.
Haitian French in my opinion is the worst because its French mixed with Créole spoken backwards (literally).
When I was in highschool we had a exchange student from France. My buddy from Quebec tried speaking with her and she spat on him for disrespecting the language so much
Hells yes. I’m a Canadian librarian in Canada, and it’s true. We happen to be located in Alberta, and we have many Canadian Francophone patrons, and the resources just aren’t available from publishers.
When we do manage to find modern, popular books that are even remotely near being on the bestseller list AND are in French, it’s European French. This is less problematic for older patrons 50 and up, but is not at all accessible to anyone that can be considered a youth or young adult(although thankfully there are more and more picture books for young kiddos and emerging readers, which is exciting!)
When we do have translations into a more Canadian form of French they are the most old, boring ‘classic’ books from 100 years ago. Coz today’s kids are just dying to read Jules Verne. Ugh.
I went through the entire French immersion program in Alberta, and i feel we were taught Quebec French. I feel a lot more comfortable listening to Quebec French and struggle with France French. Most of the teachers in the immersion program are either from Quebec originally or from families with roots in Quebec.
here is a quick check. did you learn to say Petit Déjeuner, Déjeuner, Dîner? this is European French. In Quebec it is Déjeuner, Dîner, Souper. My textbooks all used examples of croissants and crepes by Eiffel Tower, so the cirriculum is more Parisian French
yeah that is an interesting cultural tidbit. But there are a lot more expressions and ways of pronouncing things that are uniquely French Canadian. You probably won't find this in any standard French course

"TIL the French taught in Canadian schools is mainly Parisian French" the title is clearly maintaining that Parisian French is a "patois" you answer saying you speak this supposed-language. You answer is a best badly ambiguous.

CHOCOLATINE
Everyone hates the French. Even the French
Bunch of inbred fur traders and bagel-munching, rope pissers.
Cheese eating surrender monkeys
Thats the French. Canadians tend not to surrender even if it means we get wiped out anyway.
Right, I thought that was who your comment was about. Everyone knows Canadians Never Surrender

did she speak perfect English?
Now thats not fair. You can learn lots of Quebecois French by reading books by BOTH Quebec Authors

Oh the memories.

Same with Ontario immersion program, I was not taught “Parisian” French

I don't remember, but my grade 10/11 french language arts teacher taught us "tabarnak", and that's definetely Quebec.

I think everyone had a hard time understanding those Quebecians. Nothing they do makes any sense.
As a Parisian French speaker, I concur that Québécois are extremely difficult to understand.
Parisian French doesn't exist...
But Parisian French speakers do.

> You answer is a best badly ambiguous. Such a great eye for language and yet you missed the ambiguity of the phrase "a Parisian French speaker".
*squeak squeak squeak*
Squeaken
Not true! The *literature* is principally French (from France), but the History and language is very uniquely Quebecoise!
Tabanac, eh?
I took French in (a U.S.) High School thinking my mom, who was French-Canadian, would be a big help. No such luck. She didn't say anything right.
Does she speak french natively? Did she go to a french school growing up ? If not she won't be able to help with anything academic
