When I drove through Montreal or a couple months ago and I was listening to the radio, there was a joke segment (french of course) that was making fun of acadians and chiac (however that's spelled) that was definitely bordering on insulting.
I know more than a couple anti-quebec and/or anti-francophone people, sadly. No one terribly racist, but there's totally underlying negative vibes and snarky comments.
The only bad experience I've had that I would relate to Quebec was when I had a stop-over in Montreal taking the train (the city that has a lot of english speakers), and I asked a random woman on the street "Est que vous avez le temps?" and she scowled at me and spoke angrily to correct me "L'HEURE". I suppose it worked because I'll never make that mistake again, although I was super pissed and it still irks me to this day. Would she have been happier had I spoken english? What if I were a tourist? ARGH, pisses me off just like subin's grammatical rant to some guy whose grammar was so bad he clearly had very little english training. You could hear the accent reading the post...I'm digressing...
I have no idea how a government could 'coddle' bmah. I don't see anything wrong with disapproving of the status quo, or 'complaining' as you put it.
You mustve been listening to the Grandes Gueules haha they have an acadian character on their show
