Ah yes, "La Belle Province" home to La Cirque de Soleil, the Montreal Canadiens, poutine and the Quebecois Ballet (AKA stripping). My absolute favorite place in Canada and home to IMHO, Canada's premiere city, Montreal.
In light of Hencredible Casanova's awesome Montreal data sheet, I wanted to post some information here regarding the French speaking people of this wonderful province, les Quebecois. I won't write too much about the partying scene in Montreal because HC nailed it well in his sheet, but I will say this about the city, Montreal is the ONLY city in Canada where'd I'd actually encourage someone from far away to come visit, it really is worth it.
There is more to this place then just partying your ass off on Ste Catherines street and chasing hot women, there's some VERY interesting culture and history here too! This isn't so much a data sheet as it is a cultural analysis and history lesson that will allow the reader to have a better appreciation and understanding of the unique Quebecois people and to score points with chicks for your solid knowledge of their society and get your Fleur-de-Lis! I go into detail about their history describe their society today, finally I'll get to the part you all want to hear about, the hot Quebecois women!
First of all, you probably have heard them referred to as "French Canadians" STOP using this term to describe French speaking peple who live in Quebec, yes they are Canadian, yes they speak French but they are QUEBECOIS or if you don't want to say it in French, they are Quebecers! the only French Canadians are French speaking people from outside the province of Quebec (Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, etc) even those frogs in New Brunswick call themselves Acadians (we'll get to them another time, nothing too special).
Some of you, especially Americans are going to have a hard time wrapping your head around the things I'm going to write about Quebec, but bare with me, this long winded post will make some sense eventually and allow you to understand what I'm writing about!
Like any self respecting Anglo-Canadian (or any Anglophone in the world!), I grew up HATING French people, I suppouse it didn't help that back in 1995, when I was 13, those treacherous bastards in Quebec tried to break up my beautiful country and separate from Canada! Of course, they didn't then, nor did they in 1980, but those pricks use the threat as a trick up their sleeve to get more money from the federal government, and it works! Man those were VERY dark days of English/French relations, as I"m sure other Canadian forum members can attest.
However, I always knew there was something cool about those crazy French bastards because they had; the Montreal Canadiens, the Montreal Expos (RIP!) and Bleue Nuit (a show that came on the French channel TQS every Saturday night, soft core porn, like Emanuelle, remember this was the early-mid 90's before we had internet porn!). They were always partying and never seemed to work too hard, and they were loud as fuck, even though I didn't understand them, they seemed cool! Of course, my up tight Scottish descent parents couldn't stand "those damn French"
If you don't give a shit about history and culture of Quebec, scroll down to the section entitles "women".
History: I'm no expert so, history guys, correct me if I'm wrong. Basically the French were in North America first, back in around 1604 they founded NEW FRANCE in what is today, Quebec City. They were a bunch of religious zealot uber-Catholic Jesuits who founded the town and mingled with the local natives.
Side note: the English, and even the Spanish (I think) mostly just killed off the local natives with disease and superior arms, not the French, what did those horn dogs do, they bred with the local women! They even spawned an entire race of half breeds in western Canada called the Metis people.
Well these Jesuits built their little town and imported a bunch of frontier, adventurer type men from France to populate it. However there was a serious lack of women, so what did King Louis XIV do? He gathered up a few hundred scallywags and undesireable women, put em on a boat and sent them to New France to populate the new town. There you have it folks, Australia was populated by criminals, Quebec was populated by WHORES! Sounds like my kind of place!
So for the next couple hundred of years these French horn dogs left foot prints ALL OVER North America, portaging through the woods in their canoes wearing funky beaver skin hats and deer pelt mocassins. Thats why so many town names in Canada and USA have French names: Detroit, Fond du Lac, Coeur d'Helene, etc.
From the early 1600's up until the 1750's, the French were kicking ass and runnin' shit in North America! Well of course, major things were happening over in Europe between France, Britain and the Spanish and all hell broke loose, the French didn't fare too well!
The going got tough, the British and French went to war on the Plains of Abraham and of course, the French got their asses handed to them, that wanker Napolean said "fuck that frozen dump up north" and he basically traded it all in for two shitty little islands in the Caribbean (Martinique et Guadeloupe, still owned by France, and not really shitty, I wanna go there, bad!). He also gave Louisiana away, what a dolt!
The population of French country bumpkins blossomed and spread further down the St Lawrence river into and around Montreal, these people were deeply Catholic farmers who kept to themselves and stayed that way basically up until the 1960's.
This is where the history of Quebec gets really interesting: before the 1960's, Quebecois society was one of the most isolated, backward intensely Catholic places IN THE WORLD! It was truly bizarre considering what was going on around them in the rest of NA, they call this time "la grand noiceur" or, the Great Darkness! This place was so Catholic, the women had no rights (last place in NA to grant women the vote!) and were basically stay-at-home baby factories! Ask any Quebecor how many kids were in his grand parents family and answers of 15-22 kids will not be uncommon, they called this the "Revenge of the Cradle".
Anyway, I'm getting a bit carried away with the ancient history, if you're that interested, look it up, lets just say that Quebec society was VERY different than anything else in NA, at the time.
Then something happened, the Quebecois said a big, giant collective FUCK YOU to the Catholic church and these crazy politicians, it was the swinging 60's, they started smoking dope, doing acid and protesting social injustices, they had a civil rights movement called "the Quiet Revolution". Now Quebecors and especially the nationalists (seperatists) like to play the part of the down trodden victim, a famous book by Pierre Vallieres called les negres blancs d'amerique, or "the white ni**ers of America" is part of the propaganda. They took major pointers from the civil rights movements of the blacks in the USA, including the Black Panthers.
These crazy Quebecois fuckers started some political parties that called for the seperation of Quebec from Canada, on the grounds that they could never live free under the dominance of English Canada and would lose their culture and language, they had a radical group called the FLQ who kidnapped some politicians and killed poor old Pierre Laporte (then got on planes and sought asylum in Cuba and Algeria,which they got!).
In the 1970's MONTREAL was really cool, they hosted the Olympics and a big Expo, Then the seperatist pricks got ELECTED!!! Well their leader Rene Levesque was a pretty cool guy anyway, and since then they've been trying to seperate and destroy Canada. In 1980, they passed Law 101 requiring all work places to operate in French and all employees to work in French, which resulted in the largest mass exodus of people in Canadian history, over 100,000 english speaking Montrealers LEFT and moved away! Its a bit more complicated than that but their departure kinda fucked MOntreal and it lost its prestige as being Canada's financial capital, a title Toronto gladly assumed!
So one thing I want to emphasize is how much the Quebecois people did a complete 180 and totally rejected EVERYTHING about the Catholic church. They became uber-liberals, super socialists, they love their big government (especially since other Canadians pay for it!).
I cannot emphasize how much Quebecers are open (sicne the 60's) about everything that has to do with sex, they are very sexual people and Montreal in particular has a very seedy reputation (a well deserved one IMHO), there so many strippers, hookers and escorts in that town its insane and the public doesn't give a shit! Its also home to a pretty big swinger scene and home grown porn industry!!1
Seriously, look up the Quebec city high school secretary who starred in a porn movie, only to be called out by one of the kids, who tried to black mail her into fucking him (atta boy!) Now onto what matters most:
WOMEN
As I've alluded to in other posts, Quebecois women are hot and horny! All us Canuck guys know this, they are very sexual and take pride in their appearance.
Quebecors don't give a shit about things like the sexualization of pre-teens, if you were to object to a 12 year old girl dressing like a fucking prostitue at the mall, these frogs would accuse you of being some lame ass uptight Anglo square head (thats how they refer to English speakers, tete carrees, square heads!).
I've been to bars outside of Montreal where I felt uncomfortable because there were so many drunk as fuck 12 to 15 year old puking everywhere and making out with dudes in their 20's, it made me sick!
Seriously, I read an article in the Journal de Montreal once where the liquor inspector (didn't know they existed in Quebec) shut down a bar in Shawinigan because it was packed with under age kids getting hammered, seriously, there was somethign like five 12 year olds, ten 13 year olds and twenty 14 year olds there, WTF??? But before any of you creeps with pedophile tendencies think about gaming young teens in Quebec, the locals won't take lightly to some Anglo creep square head trolling their bars, you may be attacked by a gang of George St Pierres, I just threw that in there to give you an idea of how laissez faire this culture is!
Cougars, if you like cougars, this is the place to be! Back in 05' I was living and working in Sherbrooke Quebec, a cool little city about 1.5 hours east of Montreal, close to Vermont. My mom and sister drove up from Halifax to visit me and we stayed in Quebec City (love that place) and they were blown away by the amount of yummy mommies! We did a "Quebec City Cougar Census" something like 60 in one afternoon, lol! This just goes to show how much they value looks here, you gotta look good and dress smart!
Unlike Anlgo women in say, Nova Scotia or Manitoba, even in small towns, you go into a bar and the women LOOK GOOD, they dress well and just OOZE sex appeal. Its the Gallic blood, they are just better looking people over all than their Anglo neighbours, I'll say with the utmost confidence, these white women are the hottest, sexiest most beautiful of ALL in North America that I have seen so far.
Now one thing must be said here before you guys get too excited, outside of Montreal, the majority of people in Quebec DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH (about 85%), especially in smaller towns! Its fucked but northern Europeans like Swedes and Germans speak waaaay better English than les Quebecois, fuck, even Filipinos speak better English, I'm NOT exaggerating!!!
Anyway, I gotta take a break. I'll write more later. I hope this helps you get a better idea of what these folks are all about! I used to hate em (before I learned French), but now I love them! You guys should definitely take a trip to MOntreal but if you do, don't spend all of your time with other Anglos, seek out the Quebecois people (won't be too hard) or better yet, take a drive to a small Quebec City and party there (Sherbrooke, Trois Rivieres, Chichoutimi,etc). Bonne chance et a bientot!!
