How to French in Canada
Manage episode 283941942 series 2815746
A province is like a state but with more power and fewer rednecks. But in our country, the province of Quebec is actually “the founding French nation” of Canada, which is why it gets its own very podcast.
As the only French speaking province in Canada, the government of Quebec has greater control over what are considered federal jurisdictions in other provinces like immigration, taxation and employment. Francophone Quebecers are tiny island of eight million French speakers surrounded by a sea of 360 million people in North America who speak English as their principal language.
So, keeping Quebec French is very important and a huge challenge. Therefore, Quebec’s immigration policy gives priority to French speaking immigrants and yes, we know that as an American exceptionalist, you are comfortable with having “priority” in every thing you do, but even though you know how to say“bonjour”, "oui" and “voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?” I think it’s gonna take a little more than that to get you into Quebec as a French speaking immigrant. Désolé.
But because Yes We Canada is a public service, we give you a free hack on how to move to Quebec with only the french noted above! Bienvenue! Uh, that means welcome.
