Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

I don't know. I hate life and want to either go to Quebec or Queensland to get out of the country. I have to register my truck and get my taxes filed. Fuck everything.

They are very proud of their bastardized version of French. France doesn't even recognize it as French.

So I can practice French.It's different than in France. We use more slang here. Some parts of Quebec are beautiful and the people are great. Other parts not so much. They shun outsiders if you're not a true Francophone. Everything in Ontario has to be in English and French so you get lots of exposure here too. And we have better healthcare.
Somehow I did not even realize that your are French Canuck CG.

You find a lot of french spoken in Quebec, Ontario and some of the provinces on the east coast, less so the more west you go. Everything in Ontario has to have both languages on it and French is mandatory to take in school. We also have a lot of French schools and french immersion in public schools. I've been talking it since I started school. But I lost a lot of it through my teen years due to seizures. So now I don't recall as much as i used to but I love going to Quebec and it starts coming back to me. If I sat down and studied it again, i know I could pick it up in a heartbeat. Just haven't had the time to do it.
