Admittedly, a large part of my difficulty with Quebec French, beyond the accent, is having been taught very little _colloquial_ French, of _any_ dialect.

Québécois French is different from France French because Quebec was colonized before the French Revolution. After the Revolution, France made a concerted effort to use the French of the commoners rather than the nobility. Quebec was part of the British Empire at the time and did not follow suit, leading to a bisection of the language.

Also it was not that the Acadians were unwilling to be subject to the king (no queen reigning in Britain at that time) as in fact they had already provided an oath to the crown on that very point. It was they wanted to remain neutral in any conflict between Britain and France. This neutrality had been achieved but in 1755 the British colonial government at Halifax demanded the Acadians take an unqualified oath which technically would mean the Acadians were no longer neutral. In the build up to the Sevens Years War there had been a few instances that left the British in double as to the Acadian's trustworthiness and then by refusing the unqualified oath it made these Acadian British subjects in the eyes of the British colonial administration potential rebels.

This usage, is probably why we Canadians have that "polite stereotype" going on...since it's not used in an admission of guilt, it can also be a declaration of empathy to the plight of the subject, even if the speaker doesn't have any connection to the plight itself. Sort of a: "That sucks, I hear and understand you, and am capable of empathizing with your unfortunate situation." I would venture and further state that the use of "eh?" at the end of a statement or suggestion, is another such linguistic artifact in our speech and generalized macro-culture. Sort of a "I'm stating this as a fact or a suggestion, but the inclusion of a question at the end, means that I am not trying to be forceful or pushy about it, eh?" In some cases "eh?" could be used as a short hand for "what do you think about this?", an open invitation for others to speak their mind and get their own input in, inherent to the speech pattern. Just a theory though, eh?

People in Quebec actually speak a dialect of French that is older than what is commonly spoken in France now. One French king (I believe it was Louis XIV or XVI) changed the way people in France spoke by decree. This was after Quebec was mostly settled, so the people from there speak French a little differently than you would hear in France.

There is some things that may have been left out that I want to put out. 1. Canada first got its roots for the Confederacy in Charlottetown, PEI. All Starting with Sir. John A. MacDonald and Sir George Etienne Cartier. 2. The very first province that was settled by Europeans was Newfoundland by the Nordic People. They only stayed temporarily cause they were fought out of the area by the Native People. 3. Nova Scotia is the first actual landing site of French, British, Irish, and Scottish people, and is also one of the provinces with the most descendants of the Loyalists. During the American Revolution. 4. Annapolis Royal or during its time, Port Royal was once the Capital of Canada when it was still a colony. That is why when you pass by on the Highway 101, it says "Cradle of our Nation." 5. Canada also shares military personnel between provinces during the summer for the Cadet Organization. Sending Cadets aged 12-18 to different training centres for their experiences and new ways of approaching problems and solving them, as well as receiving their specific training for Air, land and sea. 6. Canada still has people of L'Acadie descent in the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. They speak with a slightly different accent, and some words mean different than Québécois french and France. 7. Tim Hortons is one of our most popular places to get coffee (STILL IS) but it was beaten by the McCafe brand of coffee by McDonalds. McDonalds kept the original blend, making it taste slightly better than the current 100% Arabica Coffee. That's pretty much all I got. Hope this helps out in the end.

If you remove the Winnipeg greater area from the population, the rest of the province only has about 560,000 people. Realistically, Saskatchewan is more densely populated, and has many more larger centers (smaller cities) than Manitoba. Having traveled extensively throughout MB and SK, MB is BY FAR the flatter province! The Red River Valley is actually one of the flattest areas in North America. Even up north, Manitoba is insanely flat. You can drive from Emerson to Thompson (860km) with only driving over a few rolling hills near Grand Rapids and closer to Thompson. Saskatchewan as a whole is quite hilly, just not mountainous. MB is essentially a toilet bowl, with water from Alberta, Saskatchewan, North Dakota, and a bit of Ontario and Minnesota drain through Manitoba and into the Hudson Bay. Manitoba does have a lot of amazing places, but they are very spread out. You have to drive for hours to visit most of them. Some of the most amazing places in the province are fairly unknown and fairly undeveloped for public access. As someone who grew up in rural MB, the thing about MB that annoys me the most is how EVERYTHING is centered around Winnipeg. So much so, that it is helping kill off the rural areas, as services are being removed and people are expected to travel to the city for everything. Without those services, it becomes undesirable to live there, so business and people leave. Also, the people who have lived in Winnipeg all their lives often suffer from Perimeteritis, and can't imagine the province outside of the Perimeter Highway around the city. This gets very dangerous when politicians have this... Rural and Northern MB suffer badly. As a whole, I would say Manitobans are usually pretty humble people. I'm proud to be from Manitoba, but I really would like to move to Yukon, NWT, NW Ontario, BC, or yes, even SK! Too bad all of my family lives here....

Take a look at material on "primate cities" or "primacy". It will expand on what you have described. Primate cities are at least twice as large as the next largest city in the region (country, for example) in which they exist. As a consequence of primacy, they usurp the resources of the area in which are located. There is an extensive geographical literature on the topic or look at Wikipedia.

Another great video guys! Keep it up.

Cool thanks for sharing more about our country! I actually learned a bit too. :)

I am a Manitoban, born and bred (although I spent a few years in Montreal in my 20s), and they're sorta right, we are generally outdoors-y types. Lots of people own or rent cottages on one of the roughly 100,000 lakes we have here, and hiking, camping, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing are all really popular activities (I know a few people who hunt, but I don't think it's as common as the others on that list). It gets really cold here in the winter, and fairly hot in the summer - we are actually one of the places that has the greatest temperature extremes in the world. There are 90 degrees Celsius between our coldest extreme temperature (-47.8 C) and our hottest (42.2 C) - only a couple places in Siberia can top that. Normally in a winter we'll hit -38 C at least once, but we rarely get colder than that these days (climate change!)...the coldest temperature I have personally witnessed here was -42 C (wind chill was -57 or something crazy). In the summer, we've been hitting 37-38 C at least once as well, sometimes a bit hotter. As for Winnipeg being the "murder capital" of Canada, we have held that title 20 times out of the 37 years I've been alive. It's calculated on a per capita basis, so where you said 6 murders, I believe the stat is actually 6 murders *PER 100,000 PEOPLE.* Incidentally, that number is basically an all-time high (and was set several years ago) - currently, we sit at just 3.5 homicides per 100,000 people. If Winnipeg was an American city, we would currently sit 66th in per capita murders for cities over 250,000 people (between Santa Ana, California and Mesa, Arizona)*. *Those stats are from the last US Census, so things have almost certainly changed in the interim; if you want to compare apples to apples and judge Winnipeg's rate at the time of the last US census, there would be about 50 US cities with higher murder rates.

Town? City? ... There's no consensus defining a difference between them, but I agree, a town is, by popular definition, smaller than a city.

Bobbius Shadow There is no international consensus. I live in The Netherlands and our biggest town/city is Amsterdam, about 800.000 inhabitants. There is an historical definition. Towns got city right from the regional ruler (count, king etc). In our country there are cities with only 1400 inhabitants, like Bredevoort who got city rights in 1388, or Stavoren with about 900 inhabitants who got city rights in 1061. City rights meant that they got their own monetary right, judicial system and tax system. And they needed to fortify their town with city walls with a gate, or canals with a drawbridge. Nowadays we call buildup areas with about 50-100k inhabitants cities if they have their own board or administrative body (municipal) and enough services, like hospital, schools, shops, theaters, sometimes university etc.
