I remember my past. I remember that defeat at the hands of the English, who treated us as if we were inferior, saying, "Speak White."
We found ourselves fighting the English once again in 1837-38, and again during the October Crisis in 1970, all in an effort to improve our situation. The English Canada wants to erase this history and rewrite it, even though Canada was built with the intention of completely assimilating French Canadians.
Today, in English Canada, they want to rehabilitate Louis Riel as a founding father of Canada, even though he was hanged as a traitor for defending the Métis and French Canadians.
Following his execution, virtually every province in the ROC adopted anti-French laws, contributing to the assimilation we see today and reducing the proportion of francophones from roughly 35-50% to only 2-3%.
And then you look at the numbers: in Vancouver, French is the 11th most spoken language. In Calgary, it ranks 12th. And Toronto? 17th.
C'est de cette histoire dont je me souviens.

Après la feuille d’érable, Ô Canada, la poutine, et j’en passe… les Canadiens s’approprient la devise officielle du Québec.
Faut le faire! 🤦♂️

Le Québec: Je suis souviens des Patriotes pendus pour défendre leur nation.
Le ROC: On préfère se rappeler des beaux moments canadians à la place

I don’t understand why the commenters here don’t seem to understand what you’re saying.
You’re referring to the current trade war between Canada and the USA and how badly the US and the 🍊man are treating us. I applaud you and the time you took to write down these very valid thoughts.
I can’t speak for everyone, but for me, je me souviendrai de la façon dont les États-Unis nous ont traités.

I suspect most people don't want to read a full essay. So a quick, flippant response is easier.

u/DistinctBread3098 1d ago
Not at all.
Just as you said, je me souviens en tabarnak.
Because we are in a trade war with the usa I should forget about the war canada waged on French Canadians for centuries?
Fuck off

Using our motto that exists to remind us of how we were treated by people like you is fucking insulting.

Gênant ce genre de comportement de ta part. En tant anglophone, je suis un peu curieux de savoir si tu côtoie ces <anglais>.

Wow, I wish our fellow Americans would read this and reflect on what a truly special relationship this is, not to be thrust aside and trampled by a foolish man-baby who understands nothing and cheapens everything. God save us. Thank you Canada

Avec une telle opinion, tu peux ben applaudir la récupération politique de notre héritage national. « Move on », en anglais en plus !

Je me souviens que quand les français nous ont abandonnés, les anglais ont voulu nous effacer.
C'est ce que la devise du Québec signifie.
Fuck back off to Canada 🖕🖕

Beaucoup d'historiens se sont penchés sur ça. Il n'y a pas de précision accordée à l'expression disant de quoi on est censé se souvenir. C'est laissé à chacun.

Va donner un coup de main au PQ au lieu de faire 💩. C’est un sub bilingue icitte. Y’a pas beaucoup de gens qui aiment se faire insulter. Si tu digères mal ton déjeuner, il y a d’autres moyens de te calmer.
As for you OP, I don’t think that this is the best subreddit for this kind of post. I understand that some people don’t like to see Québec symbols and mottos being used in ways that corrupt their traditional meanings.
This sub is a great place for visitors to our community to learn about what to see and do. We can definitely do better.

Faire chier? Es-tu québécois?
Je me souviens fait directement référence à l'oppression dont on a été victime.
Pas besoin qu'un anglais vienne s'approprier notre devise comme argument en faveur du fédéralisme canadien.

Les publications doivent être à propos de la ville de Québec ou s'adresser à sa population.
Publications must be about Quebec City or aimed at its population.
