My first thought is when Britain invaded French Canada.

Maybe he means something else.
Exactly. But to be honest I've never met a fellow Canadian who was rude to me, as a Québécois. If Québec is to become independent I genuinely wish Canada to be our #1 ally. Still, lots of people still don't realise we exist and that Canada is a multicultural country. Unfortunately there's a huge cultural appropriation going on and the federal government is doing all it can to make sure we don't attempt to secede again like all the attempts that have happened in the last 60 years. At some point it was even found out that Canada wanted to invade Québec if we were to ever secede (Operation Neat Pitch) but the documents were leaked and the federal government censored everything about the whole story as to not cause a national crisis.
However there's still a lot of misconceptions about us. One thing that I've often heard is the "language police" thing. First time a foreigner asked me about the language police I was like
dafuq? Québec's official language is French so of course all text, signs, products, e.t.c. have to be in French for the population to understand. I suppose some people took articles like "Shop owner forced to change public signs from English to French" or "Retailer fined for selling packagings without French translation" and used that to start that "language police" rumor. Another thing is that Canada will say "ohh we're SO sorry for what
WE have done in the past" i.e. wiping out the natives or other crimes against humanity, but since we are part of Canada that would include us Québécois. Except this is not true because before we were invaded we were the only american colony to have zero history of slavery as well as zero history of stealing native's lands (we did fight against the Iroquois at some point but it was due to our alliance with the Algonquins, it was never for land appropriation nor extermination).
But it's usually the federal government and a very small minority of anglophone ultranationalists that tend to talk crap on Québec. All english Canadians I've personally met were super nice and they all have my respects.
Banning Seether is something I'd love to see, but he is posting this in the Off Topic section so I don't see what the problem is.
What has Seether done?
If he's not breaking forum rules I don't see a problem. So far I didn't notice anything morally wrong with his posts, or am I missing something?
