So what is about you that neither group wants to claim you as part of their "in-group"? Laughing


Could be that I stink or something...more likely because of stereotypes. I'm not saying there is a complete polarization in Canada, but one certainly does note the bigotry on both sides of the Ottawa river....Alberta and Quebec City in particular.

I live in Alberta. What kind of bigotry should I be on the lookout for?

An anti-French Canadian bigotry. Again, I'm not saying it is a complete polarization, but I've experienced an anti-French Canadian bigotry directed against me a few times there, that I haven't in other places in Canada, except from the anti-English side in Quebec, again, not from everyone.
