All Of Canada Will Be Ashamed
Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand
Canadian April Lavigne stunned concertgoers at her Montreal show on Wednesday night and boy oh boy…some Perezious readers are quite pissed off at the pop tart.
Why????
She offended the proud Montrealites because she doesn't know her Canadian geography.
Quick geography refresher for us non-Canadians before we go on… Montreal is a city in the Canadian province of Quebec.
During last night's concert, April declared, "I love you Montreal, I'm so happy to be back home…in ONTARIO (another province!), CANADA!
If she was American we're sure Montreal would be a little forgiving. But April is Canadian!
See what happens when you drop out of high school!????????
The American equivalent to April's dufus statement this evening would be something like, "I love you New York City! I'm so happy to be back home in Massachusetts!"
April would probably say that too!

WHY do Americans not know anything about Canada? I am not talking about Avril because she's just a douche, but the way Perez has to inform the general population reading this website that Ontario (is another province) Canada. Shouldn't you just know?? Seriously. They are all so ignorant and only care about what is directly in front of them!
also, to JE ME SOUVIENS:
Perhaps if your plans for seperating did not involve using our currency and leaching off our economy we'd take them more seriously.
fool.
Why are all of these people saying Canadians hate Quebec and Montreal? Montreal is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada and one of the most historical as well! Also for all you redneck Americans out there who think your Country is the only one on this planet, Canada is a separate country from you, maybe you should be the ones going back to High School.
"Canadian April Lavigne"
"April declared"
"But April is Canadian"
"April's dufus statement "
"April would probably"
See any trends… yes, you just called AVRIL April 5 times in the above artile. Good work!
Re: JE ME SOUVIENS – DON'T YOU KNOW THAT MOST OF YOUR RESOURCES COME FROM ONTARIO?????
I think Perez actually spell checked this one and that is why it changed Avril to April. I am sure he does not know how to spell Massachusetts without spell check!
And quit ripping on Americans- if you hate us so much go read your own bloggers. Oh, you don't have any because we do it all!
I don't even know where to begin with this! Lol. Ontarians don't hate Quebéc, as was mentioned above. If Quebéc hates Ontario - I got one word for them: ALBERTA.
Never liked Ms Latrine. She's some white-trash suburban (actually Napanee is a suburb of a suburb of a suburb) drop-out who got lucky.
I wish I had her money.
Re: FLQ – LOOOOOOOOL DEFINITELY!!!
Re: pry –
So, are you saying everybody in South America is American too?
how could she get it wrong when her name is french?
For people who dont know Avril=April in french
Re: pry – same continent, different countries. that's why. that's like calling telling someone from Poland that they're Scottish or something, just because both countries are on the European continent.
people from Mexico = Mexicans, Canada = Canadians, America = Americans, don't even start that "but they're all Americans!" mess it makes you sound ignorant.
ok clearly those montreal people are dense, she means shes happy to be back in canada. Fucking queers.
Avril in French means April for those of you who don't know
Re: Katie – if she's the "laughing stock of canada" then your the hore of canada!
Stune caliss de mange-marde. Point.
I think the reason that comment is so stupid is because Avril was born and raised in Montreal…duh..that what makes it so insulting, and being Canadian, I personally don't give a fuck what she said,because she's a dumbass to not remember her hometown isn't in Ontario.
What the shit—- that just proves how retarded she is
Karma is coming around to all the stars who were too cocky to start
I'm from Montreal, and we can't stand her here!!! AVRIL SUCKS! Go back to Ontario!!
SORTA KILLS YOUR BEING A SMARTASS WHEN YOU SPELL HER NAME WRONG..LOL.
i agree with #53… you can keep her
Re: JE ME SOUVIENS – I think we covered this in an election.
France doesn't want you, Canada wont give you our currency or Passports AND we take back the majority of the government jobs in that province AND the land goes back to the indians.
Either way ur fucked, now shut up frog.
It says 'April' Lavigne. Is this a twist on her saying the wrong name or is this ironic?!!!
Re: Tamicka –
dude she was born and raised in Napanee ontario.
Spread the love, Perez NOT the hate…
Im from the best part of Canada,the west (Vancouver Rocks) We love when those two duke it out (Ontario and Quebec),so way to go Avril,nothin like stirring up a shit in the East.You aint blond for nothin
Ok Avril was born and raised in NAPANEE ONTARIO.
Re: kendall – you're the only ignorant one making comments like "they're ALL ignorant!"… this site is read internationally, I'm reading this in Ireland and I don't know where EVERY Canadian province is either, so stop with the American bashing before you even start.
WHEN YOUR A GOD YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING MOTHERFUCKERS!
avril,,,april………Montreal, Ontario. Nobody cares Perez, Even your negative comments give her more press!
It's "Avril".
Come on Perez… just cuz she's a fuckshow doesn't mean we can't be responsible journalists.
avril is french for april ….
Avril is the french equivalent of April
he's probably just joking with the whole "april avril" thing. and YES i know he's done it before.
I live in Montreal and I know not many people even went to see her sh!t concert anyway.
She's just a disgrace to Canada.
Fuck Avril
Hahahaha… it is true… we DONTgive a shit about Quebec.
Stupid French Bastards.
what a douche…
Did you get her name wrong on purpose?
so, im canadian and get some of my western citys/provinces mixed up. big deal.
That proves once and for all that people from Ontario are stupid people. Yay !
)
Excuse me but, isn't "Avril Lavigne" a French name? As in Quebecois? Isn't Avril from Quebec? Would Willie Nelson thank the good people of Houston Mississippi for a wonderful evening? What?
AVRIL not APRIL…u dumb ass
Avril is APRIL in french! Jeez.
Just some clarification:
a) He calls her April because "Avril" is French for APRIL
b) It's even WORSE because of the fact that Quebec wants to separate from Canada and become an independant state so to call it Ontario makes it even worse…
Re: Canuckchica – uhm, for a Canadian, ur not too swift
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW FRENCH
AVRIL IS FRENCH FOR APRIL.
HENCE WHY PEREZ IS SAYING APRIL.
ITS NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT.
What a dumbass! Even I know Montreal is in Quebec and I'm from freakin North Carolina.
'avril' is 'april' in french, you morons, it's part of the joke.
I was there and she never said that.
Anyone from Canada knows that there is a MAJOR difference between Montreal (Quebec) and Ontario….
You are right Perez, I would be a little bit more forgiving if she was American
Speaking of fuck ups,P; its AVRIL not APRIL…sheesh
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
whatta tool that girl is!!
I'm going to the show in Ottawa tonite (tickets were given as a gift…did NOT pay money)…in looking forward to this disaster!
April is as dumb as a post … she should go build a fence.
Iam canadian and I fully endorse perez's opinion of her
she's an idiot, obviously.
Re: jbonz – Canada is a bilingual country.
french is to Canada, as spanish is the the US
everything french in Canada isnt automatically Quebec
She must feel really, really stupid.
You guys are a bunch of tools!
Avril is the french translation for April. IDIOTS!
Who cares about Canada?
What's funny is that Perez just committed the same mistake. Quebec was declared a distinct society within Canada a long time ago, so is almost considered an autonomous country — so "Canadian province of Quebec" would receive about the same reaction Avril got. Her blunder was to go into Quebec and call the French people "Canadians" (read: "English"). It's like going to France and saying to a crowd "ah, good to be here considering France is really American!" while being pelted with ripe tomatoes.
PEOPLE HE IS CALLING HER APRIL BECAUSE AVRIL MEANS APRIL IN FRENCH … imho even more reason she should have known montreal is not in ontario - he is saying that to be annoying to her … how can you people not get that?
Big deal! LOL I saw Prince - who's from Minneapolis - at a show in St. Paul. He said to the crowd, "I love you Minneapolis!" I didn't blog about it.
Her name is Avril. You'd think that a chick with French ancestry would know when she's in Quebec. But the difference is, Perez, no one will mercilessly flog her and say she's ashamed of her Franco-Canadian roots the way you have towards the young actress Jessica Alba.
who is the idiot that followed suit with the mistakes! April?????
Dumb cow. That's REALLY bad. Especially since Quebec is incredibly proud of NOT being Ontario… Jesus Avril.
Good job Avril! You should have addressed them as celine dion/simple plan/arcade fire sucking retards then that would make them feel at home, HAHAHAHA
I am from Alberta and I know damn well where Montreal is. So does Avril I suspect. Who cares if she pissed them off. Damn French are always whining about something. Mind as well give them a reason. YAY Avril!
Re: Canadienne – What does it say on their passports?
oh thats right it says CANADIAN
you dumbass
to JE ME SOUVIENS:
you freaking clueless quebecois - you do realize you're one of the 'have not' provinces that are COMPLETELY dependent upon the resource-rich provinces of ALBERTA (especially), british columbia and ontario. it's called EQUALIZATION you ignorant frog - meaning the big 3 have to support the rest of your sorry asses. if anyone would be better off separate, it would be ALBERTA and BC
I think it's sad how many people didn't get Perez' joke….come on people!!
Avril is French for I should have finished school and I should work on being or doing something good for the world. Like being a productive asset to society.
she meant back home in canada idiots
I'm from canada eh!, and i'm sooooo angry everybody knows that montreal is in retard land, not ontario, i'm sooooo angry you don't want to see a canadian get angry its like a million Alex trebeks, i'm sooooo angry that once I dethaw my ass from my igloo, there will be hell to pay, grrrrrr.
the worst of it is that she's actually from ontario!
and also that montreal is one of the biggest cities in canada.
i wouldn't be surprised if she was on drugs or drunk when she made that comment.
seriously its like if someone from California, while in Seattle, said "It's great to be back home in California".
she has no excuse. she is from ONTARIO! its not like shes from another province.
I love it! All these people going, "She's so stupid! But…isn't her name Avril? I don't get it…" u.u Avril = April in French. It's sad when Perez Hilton's jokes go over your head.
And what-the-fuck ever. So she screwed up…who can honestly say they care? If it busts your day up that badly, you need to go out and get yourself some real problems.
Yes, I'm Canadian. I still don't give a shit.
Avril is french for april you retards..
perez, perez, perez, you better get your facts straighten out, I was at the concert in Montreal last night, and that is not what she said! She said she was happy to be in Montreal which is so close to her hometown in Ontario Canada. There would have been a lot of angry frenchies last night if she did say that, and no one walked out. I was expecting a shiteous performance because you keep bad talking her however I actually really enjoyed myself, her song are all very catchy.
First of all Canuckfuck - Napanee is NOT a suburb of a suburb of a suburb. It's a small town…and it's where I was born and raised - went to highschool with the 'punk' rocker…. But the Nap is most certainly not a suburban cookie cutter neighbourhood!
Second of all, I'd bet my life that Avril knows Montreal is not in Ontario. I'm sure she meant she was just happy to be in Montreal, and also back home in Ontario, as she has spent a lot of time in Ontario this week.
You really are reaching here.
Avril sure is talented, I just don't think she's found her niche yet. She has no idea who she is and right now is just going with what seems to be working.
Remember her 'dainty' phase 2 years ago - wearing dresses and high heels? Yea, that didn't last long because no one bought into the image.
I think she's a lost kid right now, not sure what she wants to represent. One thing is for sure though, she needs to work on her stage performance. It's never been her strong suit.
Re: mgr – lmfao
true very very true
I love how you have to explain this so in depth and give examples of what it would be like in the states. Americans know NOTHING about Canada.
Perez isn't nearly smart enough to come up with that joke about her name.
I'm sure it was just a mistake. Like his conception.
LOL. Poor thing. What's up with the April??
Thats funny because she is originally from Ontario, you think she would know her own province…
Avril is french for April….DUH!!!!
this was obviously a joke….
What a fuckin idiot! How dare she insult us like that!!!!
STOP CALLING HER APRIL ALREADY. IT'S NOT THE SAME THING AS AVRIL. IT'S A DIFFERENT FUCKING LANGUAGE. and, fuck, she is dumb.
Re: JOHN – Ahaha. You…sir…are an idiot. Avril = April in French. He's not spelling her name wrong accidentally, the joke just goes way over your head.
oh no, not April
Re: JE ME SOUVIENS –
Quebec would never survive on its own you moron. That's why you dumb Quebecers expect the rest of Canada to fund all of your institutions while you "pretend" to be a separate country. And because of your declining population and enormous debt, where do you get off thinking that you can continue to dictate. Please tell me one more time what you je me souviens about.

I was at the show last night…and didnt here her comment the way you guys did.
She sais she was happy to be back home….in Canada…Montreal is still part of Canada.
Your making wayyyyyyy to much of this!
The show was great!
FUCK QUEBEC HAHAHAHA !!
Re: JE ME SOUVIENS –
LOLLLLLLLL
EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD HATES YOUR DISGUSTING SLANG QUEBECOIS LANGUAGE, SO GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE YOU FUCKING IGNORANT SEPARATIST AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT GO TO FRANCE AND LEARN WHAT REAL FRENCH IS.
Just goes to show…. entertainers should shup up and sing. Its what they do. When entertainers try to show inteligence it only gets them in trouble. I am from Near Montreal and i can tell you the people of Quebec will feel insulted and not let her forget it for a long long time. If your Blonde and Dumb dont try to think Avril.
are you kidding me?
as a canadian i am ashamed.
we learn about our provinces in like grade 3
Avril is the French equivalent of the word April, go read a book you bitches.
So who really gives a shit what Perez calls her. It's not like his dumb ass last name is Hilton either… and who really cares that she f*ed up on geography, bitch is dumb, but so are a lot of American celebreties - they're always F*ing up on something.
Perez, you're an asshole. I would say 'get a life', but you have one (this blog), which I do enjoy, but you're still an asshole, nonetheless.
You people are complete idiots. AVRIL is *FRENCH* for APRIL. That is why he is calling her APRIL.
God, learn a new language or something. How uneducated can you be?
Re: Canadienne – I don't know what kind of sepratist bull shit your education has been feeding you, but Quebec is still officially a province within the country of Canada. Sure, it wants to be its own country, and frankly, I don't care either way. You can't use that as an argument though, just because it WANTS to be separated doesn't void the fact that it isn't. Calling Quebec a province is factually correct, and if the citizens are offended, that's fine, but it doesn't make it any less true.
who fuckin' cares?
is it really rocket science that avril means april in french?
turds.
perez is calling her april to make fun of her you morons, hes not stupid.
she deserves it. she's a dumb shit
