00:00:00.000 a huge tract of land in northern Quebec.
00:00:02.720 A hundred percent.
00:00:03.400 A hundred percent.
00:00:04.040 I don't know about Quebec.
00:00:05.240 See, everyone hates Quebec. 0.59
00:00:06.480 I'll rip on Quebec with you, too.
00:00:07.880 No, it's my favorite.
00:00:09.080 Probably. Oh, really?
00:00:10.040 Well, maybe that's the issue then.
00:00:11.400 I'll tell you why.
00:00:12.160 I'll tell you why. 0.93
00:00:13.400 Because the French, super annoying, obviously impossible to deal with. 1.00
00:00:17.560 Oh, you must speak our language, your language. 0.92
00:00:20.080 Nobody speaks your language like nobody cares about French anymore. 0.72
00:00:23.040 It's no longer the lingua franca.
00:00:24.600 It's like you're an empire not only in decline, but this vanished.
00:00:27.720 You're Rome like you don't exist. 0.99
00:00:29.040 Okay.
00:00:30.000 So there's that.
00:00:31.120 But the good news about the French is they actually have 1.00
00:00:34.880 where they call it self-respect.
00:00:37.480 Like they actually think they have something worth preserving. 0.99
00:00:40.400 That's why they're so silly about their language. 1.00
00:00:42.040 Oh, you must say it in French, like subtitles. 0.99
00:00:44.560 And the whole thing is insane.
00:00:46.200 But it suggests that they really care on some level. 0.98
00:00:49.640 Like they're not bitches like a lot of no offense. 1.00
00:00:53.080 A lot of the Anglos in Canada are like, OK, you can invade us. 1.00
00:00:57.480 French are like, no, we're French.
00:00:59.280 Like you can only invade us if you speak French. 1.00
00:01:02.080 Yeah.
00:01:02.680 And I just like that.
00:01:04.160 I agree. 0.98
00:01:04.720 And they're they're like, again, they're hard to deal with, but they have balls.
00:01:07.840 I've flown all through the maritime fish.
00:01:10.560 So I've flown in little planes all around.
00:01:12.720 Where'd you go?
00:01:13.320 Newfoundland?
00:01:14.320 Yeah, in Labrador, you know, in northern Ontario and a bunch of your states,
00:01:20.720 which I think are called provinces.
00:01:22.200 I don't participate in that.
00:01:23.640 But with your kilometers and millimeters and like, oh, this is a fake language. 0.87
00:01:30.720 I know.
00:01:31.120 I can't even measure anything.
00:01:32.200 I agree.
00:01:32.320 It's like whatever.
00:01:33.200 No, those are pounds and miles, but whatever.
00:01:35.600 But I've flown all over in these little planes, very sketchy planes.
00:01:39.280 And if you get an Anglo pilots like you can't fly today because the weather, 1.00
00:01:42.400 hey, you know, the weather and French pilots are like tossing the cigarette 1.00
00:01:46.640 out the window, throw on the scarf.
00:01:48.320 They're like, we are not afraid of the weather.
00:01:51.600 So the weather is transitory here today gone tomorrow.
00:01:54.960 But we the French are more like alpha.
00:01:58.480 They're alpha in their weird, huge tract of land in northern Quebec.
00:02:02.960 A hundred percent.
00:02:03.680 A hundred percent.
00:02:04.320 I don't know about Quebec.
00:02:05.520 See, everyone hates Quebec. 0.59
00:02:06.720 I'll rip on Quebec with you, too.
00:02:08.160 No, it's my favorite problem.
00:02:09.600 Oh, really?
00:02:10.400 Well, maybe that's the issue then.
00:02:11.680 I'll tell you why.
00:02:12.480 I'll tell you why. 0.93
00:02:13.680 Because the French, super annoying, obviously impossible to deal with. 1.00
00:02:17.840 Oh, you must speak our language.
00:02:19.120 Your language?
00:02:20.320 Nobody speaks your language like nobody cares about French anymore. 0.72
00:02:23.280 It's no longer the lingua franca.
00:02:24.880 It's like you're an empire not only in decline, but this vanished.
00:02:28.000 You're Rome like you don't exist. 0.99
00:02:29.280 Okay, so there's that.
00:02:31.520 But the good news about the French is they actually have 1.00
00:02:35.120 where they call it self-respect.
00:02:37.680 Like they actually think they have something worth preserving.
00:02:40.560 That's why they're.
