When ever I hear Quebec I immidiately associate it with Riviere-du-Loup., Lucien Galtier and his family... and of course Harry Turtledove who created the fiction of an independent Quebec during the yanki occupation of a Kanada....

Ah the dream of Canada destroyed.. such bliss.. it is an alternative reality....

Quebec dreaming............... there is one French Language radio station here in Accra that is beamed in from Paris. Radio France International or 'RFI'. Sometimes they have an interview with some celebrity or artist from La Belle Province. Hearing the familiar Quebecois twang in the speech is the one thing that can make me feel homesick 'way down here.

Re: LOOKING FOR A CORRESPONDANT

U know.. my favorite story about a French Kanadain..

Back in the day one of my cleints in Africa was a rather large French Transnational... I once sold them a stuff and a certain African dicator decided to squuese them.. So closed the road and turned back all the trucks..And I kept trying to deliver, with false flag jobbie.... I made a bunch of money on transport.. Felt bad.. but we shared a bottle of wine and all was well.. So it was a good relationship....

So I got a line manager who was from Quebec, he decided that he wanted to have the french company on his list of client and instructed me not to visit them any more, as he clained that they wanted only French speakers to interface.....So I stopped....

A year later I changed continets.. stopped over to see the French company and say bye. Hand over the wine collection...
The Conversation went like thiss;;;

"Wahalla, mon ami what happen.. u dont visit us any more" Was the exuberant greeting.
" Well the bossie fellow said u didnt want me to visit" Was my reply. " He said u guys only want French to visit "
" who is french? " Was tyhe puzzled gallic reply.
"Le Blanc" Wahalla reply..
" He is not French" Was the furious demoltion of Francophile union. " He butchers our language!... he burns his steaks, knows nothing of wine...U are more French than him.. He is a stupid yanki"

That's a good story, Wahalla (your name means 'trouble' here in Ghana !)

Indeed, Francophone Africans sometimes enjoy appearing 'Frencher than the French' and also can seem - what shall I say?- a bit full of themselves.

Re: LOOKING FOR A CORRESPONDANT

there is a bit more to that story....

The client told me he [censored] off the entire French Management with his abrasiveness..He also said had I continued to visit they would have given me alot more buisness.. And they had requested that I should come by and give some undocument support, talk things through.. get some contacts to bypass ease the problem .. He refused to tell me because of his instructions..

He also tried to cut me out by trying to bring in anotehr Quebious... Im not bitter... I am just simply brilliant...

I always like the French approach to problem solving...U get an urgeten t call a diaster is about to happen.. get here now...much histrionic.. accomopaned by multiple swear words

I walk in after a twenty hour journey across desert, jungle and 5 time zones....no sleep..

"Well we have a problem" You begin...
"What problem Wahalla" with a quizical expresssion accompanied by a that subtle unique gallic shrug... " there is no problem, u are here now.. Have some wine. This is from my region. My cousin sent a case"

lol! Reminds me of Belloq - the French character in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Kidnaps Harrison Ford's girlfriend and has her in the middle of a tent in the egyptian desert, then offers her a new dress and some wine from his family's vineyard back in france.

panache, i think is what it's called. or sang froid.

Of course we get mad, 'cause REAL french is the one spoken in Quebec. When France started colonising, French was spoken in Paris the way it is spoken in Quebec now. We barely changed our pronounciations and accents, but the people from France started feeling the need to change their pronounciations to sound more "noble, rich, and educated" So our French here in Quebec sounds more like the original French, while theirs has changed too much.

The main difference between France and Quebec is that we never complain about France's accent while they always complain about ours.

In otehr words their language usage has evolved, while Quebec's french has languished in a the dark ages of pre-revolutionary era ... without the benifit of post revolutionay eglitere, where peasant aspired for liberte e equalite....

Their language is now made of reversed-sylables words, english words and expressions, missused verbs and much more. French canadians care about their language WAY MORE than people from France do. The Français feel all proud using english all the time, not even speaking it correctly with their french accent. In Quebec, we only consider English as a communication tool, there's nothing "cool" about speaking it.
