Interesting cultural study. Here in Louisiana, we have our Anglo and French interaction, probably a watered down version of what your guys have in Canada. I was raised near the Anglo, French border here in Central Louisiana, witnessed this interaction.

Cajuns tend to be a bit clannish, enjoy speaking their version of French when they don’t want Rednecks to know what they’re saying. That’s mostly the older bunch, younger ones hardly know the language. French speaking was strongly discouraged in schools for years. Then the state realized that mistake, brought in French teachers from France and Belgium. But Cajuns don’t speak “French”. I was in Paris with a Cajun some years ago. I could understand locals from college French better than he could. So that program to reintroduce French in LA was largely a bust.

The arrogance of the British up against the pride and clannishness of the French, sorta explains Canada in my mind. If it’s like here, all that sorta fizzles out over time. But add the socialist factor and it becomes more like what we’re experiencing here in the US, Marxists trying to take over. That’s more than cultural and much more of a threat.

I hope we all can throw off this leftist assault on our democracies. Our best to you guys. Say a few prayers for us.
