@Salambooooo @kartosiewicz Ahhh merci! Enfin une réponse vraie! Je lis aussi que les French Canadians n’aiment pas les Français. C’est absolument faux.

@kartosiewicz On aime les Québécois et on est absolument fiers de les avoir comme frères. Le Québec défend notre langue et nous partageons une histoire commune. Je suis parisien et je n’ai jamais entendu de critique sur leur façon de parler, à part qu’elle est attachante.

do french people hate french canadians in the same way that british people hate americans

@HomoTenacis @kartosiewicz French Canadians DO NOT hate French people! What is that!? We love them. Some can find French snob, but that is a mini portion

@kartosiewicz It's the other way around: Québecois hate French people (not me, though).

@YangsRoach @kartosiewicz That is so untrue! Some French Canadians say some Parisians are snob, but that’s all. In Québec, especially in Montréal, there are looooots of French cousins and we mix quite good.

@kartosiewicz It’s actually French Canadians who hate the French and somehow it’s for similar reasons the Brit share the Americans

@KirkLubimov I was in a Montreal pediatric ER yesterday night for my daughter (serious hematologic condition). It was FULL of large families, kids running, McDonald’s food on the chairs, somewhere between a camp and a night-club. No control. There should be fee for these non urgent cases!

If you want to see the collapse of Canada walk into the Emergency at your local hospital. Had to take my kid to the hospital yesterday and I just couldn't believe what I saw. It looked like a refugee facility you would see in a movie. People were laying across seats watching shows with zero care to make space for anyone else. Kids were running around coughing all the over the place with no attempt by the parents to control the situation or consideration for anyone else and obviously not sick enough to actually need to be in an emergency department. Also for some reason there are like 3 generations and 10 people taking their kid to the hospital filling it completely up. It was pure chaos and no one at the hospital was even trying to get order. The wait time was 8+ hours because 90% of the people there had no emergency and it's costing taxpayers billions. This can't go on.

@cathgentilcore @partiquebecois Quelle merveilleuse nouvelle! 👏

C’est officiel! Je serai candidate à l’investiture pour le @partiquebecois dans Terrebonne. Vraiment hâte de faire du porte à porte, vivement que François Legault déclenche cette élection. Les gens de Terrebonne sont maintenant sans député depuis 10 semaines, ça a assez duré!

@MelissaLMRogers You know Québec is a FRENCH - not bilingual - province? Learn it just a little bit and stop complaining.

Welcome to QUEBEC 🇨🇦 where an English speaking resident CAN’T even get services in ENGLISH from Hydro Quebec & other Public Administration services 🤯 listen till the end. Only some exceptions apply 🤯

Personne chez @AirCanada n’a relu cette géante pub avec une géante faute? « Les heures de pointe sont un eu différentes en Barbade »? Ça fait un (p)eu dur.

On June 28, 2009, the world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking threw a party at the University of Cambridge, complete with balloons, hors d'oeuvres and iced champagne. Everyone was invited but no one showed up. Hawking had expected as much, because he only sent out invitations after his party had concluded. It was, he said, “a welcome reception for future time travelers,” a tongue-in-cheek experiment to reinforce his 1992 conjecture that travel into the past is effectively impossible.

@Taintin Cette brève vidéo est une démonstration fidèle de ce que je vois tous les jours, chaque minute. Je travaille au MIL et cette section de rue est une monstruosité en termes d’infractions.

Retour du travail aujourd’hui, je passe par le MIL (UdM) et j’ai constaté 3 infractions dangereuses pour les cyclistes en 20 secondes 😵‍💫, dont une collision évitée de justesse (on entend la cycliste crier dans la vidéo).

The concept of civilization is often associated with various tangible artifacts and advancements, such as tools, architecture, or systems of governance. However, anthropologist Margaret Mead presented a different perspective when she was asked about the first sign of civilization in a culture. Rather than focusing on material objects, she emphasized the significance of a healed femur bone. In Mead's view, the animal kingdom provides a stark contrast to human civilization. When an animal breaks its leg, survival becomes nearly impossible. The inability to escape from danger, access water, or procure food renders the injured animal vulnerable to predators. Consequently, no animal lives long enough for a broken leg to heal naturally. Thus, the healing of a femur bone is a profound indication of civilization. Why is a healed femur bone considered the first sign of civilization? Mead's explanation lies in the collective care and empathy demonstrated by a community. When someone breaks their leg, it is a moment of extreme vulnerability and danger. However, if the injured individual receives aid and support from others, they can overcome this critical period. The act of caring for someone with a broken leg requires time, compassion, and a sense of responsibility towards others. Mead suggests that the healing process involves multiple steps. First, someone must have witnessed the accident and recognized the injured person's distress. Then, they would have provided immediate assistance, possibly by binding the wound and ensuring the person's safety. Finally, they would have stayed by their side, offering ongoing care and support during the recovery period. By highlighting the significance of collective care, Mead emphasizes that civilization begins with the recognition of the suffering of others and the willingness to help. It is through acts of compassion and support that a community establishes its foundations of empathy, cooperation, and social cohesion. The healing of a broken femur, symbolizing the survival and recovery of an individual within a community, reflects the values and actions that underpin a civilized society. Mead's perspective challenges the notion that civilization is solely determined by material progress or technological advancements. While such developments are undoubtedly important, they are built upon a deeper foundation of human connection and mutual aid. The healing of a broken femur bone serves as a metaphor for the care and support that individuals provide to one another, promoting the well-being and progress of society as a whole. In conclusion, Margaret Mead's unconventional response to the question about the first sign of civilization reminds us of the fundamental importance of collective care. Civilization, she argues, is not solely defined by tangible artifacts or structures but by the empathy and support extended to those in need. The healing of a broken femur bone represents the compassion and responsibility that underpin a civilized society, highlighting the significance of human connection and mutual aid in fostering progress and well-being.
