I can understand Pierre, I`m from the same province.
People around here have a fixed view of how they should wear clothes, and they absolutly hate everything that is anglo-related....
But they do follow the american fashion.... probably more than the average american.
When I talk, just talk about my kilt, they are usually stunned. women and men alike, they don't get it. You have to go out in montreal, in the '' anglo section'' of town, to be regarded as normal, (sometimes not...)
The average french canadian is pretty closeminded, he is not really cultured, has no idea want he wants in a country and in his history, saves and learn what is more important to him, and forgets or totally ignores the rest of his past and history.
I am french canadian and proud to be one, but not to the extand of forgeting where I come from, or my family... sure, I can follow one line directly to France, but I also have many more that comes from Scotland, Ireland, probably England (they weren't all bad...;o) maybe even native american... I celebrate them all because it all came down to me... It is sad that I or Pierre have to explain why we wear a kilt, sad that we have to educate them in their own history.
Pierre, if you want, PM me for the next game, and I'll go kilted. Oh, I'm also a rugby player and I like to tell football players that they are wusses... ;o)
