Why did the province of I am doing a video report on
the provinces of France,

Normandie in France. I cannot

Quebec province and France are Quebec province and France are
more different, than they are

the two even thought there

As an American who lives now mostly in Québec but who has many French friends and who travels to France I can say that they are much more different than they are similar. The French are far less provincial and insular than are the Québecois (except for metro-Montréal and a few pockets such as the Beauce area and the part of the Eastern Townships). Most of Québec, again except for metro-Montréal, one of the world's great immigrant and multi-cultural cities, and certain individual towns elsewhere with enough people of both English and French heritage, is uni-heritage; you will almost never meet a resident immigrant more than 65 km (40 miles) from downtown Montréal; you will run into some mulit-ethnicity in many parts of France. Quebecois French includes many words and phrases that French French abandoned 300 years ago (and even in modern words French French uses more English - "parking" instead of "stationment", for example, or "pressing" instead of "nettoyage" - in fact, recently there was a formal Quebecois complaint to Hollywood because Hollywood uses French French for its films and many Quebecois cannot understand much of it, especially translations of American English street talk and slang). One last thing: Again, outside of Montréal, the Eastern Townships, the Laurentian corridor between Montréal and Tremblant and Québec City you cannot find any really good restaurants in Québec; in France you can dine gastronomically everywhere. Both cultures eat horse, however (yum)! |
