Don't believe everything Canadian Anglophones have to say about
French-Canadians. Not the least of the problems up there is the traditional
lack
of understanding by the English speakers of their French-speaking
counterparts. The prejudice is intense and very widespread.

Of course France was very popular among French-Canadians back when Charles
de Gaulle was supporting the separatist movement.  It is still popular,
although the French-Canadians do tend to resent the ignorant American who
thinks of Quebec as just an extension of France or the equally ignorant
English-speaking Canadians who think the separatist movement was all about
making Quebec a part of France and undoing the Brit take-over.
