Oh Man...you are asking for it!

The most common would probably be the anti-Canadian sentiment within the Quebec culture. Many Quebecois do not wish to associate themselves with a majority anglophone society. Is it because they consider themselves elitists? Is it arrogance, foolish pride, who knows? What I do know is that these individuals are nothing more than connoisseurs of fine "whine".

I find that many Quebecois that have lived outside their own province find that there is really no major difference in culture. Some in fact are impressed with what other provinces have done to accomodate French speaking citizens.

In Canadian English, a Québécois (IPA: /kebe'kwa/), or in the feminine Québécoise (IPA: /kebe'kwaz/), is a francophone native or resident of the province of Quebec, Canada. The term may also refer to a Quebecker who identifies with Quebec's French-speaking majority culture or someone of French-Canadian descent.

With a lower-case initial, the word québécois can refer to Quebec French, a variant of the French language spoken by over 90 percent of Quebec's population. As an adjective, it refers to Quebec's francophone culture or population.

In French, the word Québécois generally refers to a native or resident of Quebec or of Quebec City. Its English equivalent is Quebecer or Quebecker (pronounced [kwəˈbɛkɚ] or [kəˈbɛkɚ]). These terms generally refer to any resident of Quebec, including anglophone or allophone natives or residents of Quebec. In a political or cultural context, it may take on the same meaning as the English definition of the word.

The word is featured in the Parti Québécois and Bloc Québécois political party names.
