[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you people with negative images of French Canadians been to Montreal or other parts of Quebec?  Montreal is a spectacular city and Quebec is a beautiful province.  [b]No, French Canadians are not French (as in from France)[/b], but they have their own beautiful culture.  Go visit Montreal - you’ll be blown away![/quote]

According to wiki, many millions in Quebec have French ancestry. [b]"French-Canadian" is descent based, not language based.[/quote][/b]

Not sure if this is right.  I'm canadian, english speaking family originally from quebec.  My understanding is my heritage is "quebecoise" but certainly not french canadian (obviously). I have friends whose descent was european non-france who grew up in ontario but went to certain french certified schools, and when they graduated they got some kind of certification from the government that they were now "french canadian".  So my understanding is french canadian is purely language based and nothing to do with france.  [/quote]
