    I feel bad for canadians learning french. It’s a language that’s only useful in like, 1.5 places in the world.

    I genuinely believe french canadians are hurting their next generation by filling their heads with nonsense of a dying culture. Kind of like how racists fill their kids’ heads with garbage because they’re afraid of becoming irrelevant.

      There are over three hundred thousand million people speaking it. On all continents. It’s fairly useful. Maybe you should travel more.

      We should all bow to the American overlords indeed. Coca cola and burgers are the peek of humanity

        Wow… do french canadians really believe that learning french is a way to fight back against America?

        Just… wow. I knew they were delusional an insecure, but this really puts things into perspective for me.

        Glad we could have this conversation.

          French Canadians, (Québécois), believe it’s a way to fight other Canadians. If it works against Americans? Well that’s just a bonus.
