plus they can communicate with each other using their weird french dialects no one understands but them
In the early 1970's, Pierre Trudeau (our then communistic and liberal Prime Minister who also gave our law making system to the Supreme Court and gave us a constitution that is a bunch of lawyerese!) started a program to indoctrinate the west with French. We were given extra money for the purpose of teaching French. I was given a scholarship to a summer immersion program in a famous national park. The profs all came from France. All the teaching in school had been French from France.
At the end of the summer, I met a man from Quebec and could not understand him. In fact, I still find the Quebec patois very difficult to understand, but I can talk to a man from Lyon with no problem. As for Moncton - even the man from Lyon could not understand their dialect, and they could not understand him.
This is a true story!! No one understands Quebecois except the people from Quebec. And no one understands New Brunswick dialect anywhere! I listened to the dialect while watching a university hockey game. Just impossible to understand.
Oh, I should mention - Belgium French - very easy to understand. If you get my drift!
