- Two things:
-
- I don't think there is such a thing, legally, as a Quebec "citizen".
- There are Quebec "residents" and even, under the voting law, something
- like an "ex-patriot", but no citizenship.
-
- And if there is/were something like a Quebec citizenship, what would
- it help for a person to think of themself as a quebecois? After all,
- it would be a simple matter of legality -- "Papiers, Monsieur?"

- Est-ce que tu parles avec vos amis de ce quebecois fou Steven Potter?
- Ou parles-tu de ce maudit anglais Potter?
-
- Si on parle de Evan Leibovitch?
-
- Pierre Trudeau? Brian Mulroney? Jean Chretien? Antonine Maillet?
-
- Il y a, peut etre, des degres de quebecois?
