    Curious what makes that unacceptable where it’s common and accepted to call Quebec “French Canada”

    Local sentiments to the colonizers? Don’t think french Canadians harbour any (much) ill-will towards France I guess.

      Might have something to do with the slavery, imperialism, and genocide. Or the fact that French Canadians are primarily of French descent. It’s simply not comparable. Also, while people say French Canadian to describe an ethnicity and culture (again, one primarily made up of French immigrants), I’ve never heard someone call Quebec French Canada in seriousness.
