All Of Canada Will Be Ashamed

Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand

avril2.jpg

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!

    Re: rebecca – I take that you haven’t been following the news in Quebec for some time. French separatist are the biggest raciest. The number one reason they want to separate from Canada is on immigration. I have spoken to many separatist and they clearly are ignorant and raciest…..I'm talking from experience. Just face it Quebec can not survive on its own even Lucien Buchard said that….Quebec can not sustain it self. Also
    if Quebec were to separate there would be an exodus of people and companies who wants to invest in an unstable country. But you know what, I'm sick of the bitchen and moaning of these separatist they want to separate than let them……let them open up the Pandora’s box and see what it’s like. “You don’t what you have, until it’s gone.” By any case there not going to separate, because they don't have the balls nor the resources.
    YOU WANT FRENCH SO MUCH GO BACK TO FRANCE

    Okay… seriously. Whoever was saying how hard it is to live here because of the separatism, what are you talking about? It doesn't affect my day to day life here at all. I don't pay more for anything, and the only english schools I've seen close down were from a lack of students, so they combined it with another one. I go to an english school. I just think the situation doesn't need to be blown out of proportion.

    People keep says "Avril NOT April" or whatever, but Avril IS April in FRENCH. And honestly, I didn't expect her to even know that Montreal was in Quebec. I mean she doesn't even live in Canada anymore, if the only time she ever comes back "home" during tours, then I don't expect that much geographical wise.

  15. Québec Libre says – reply to this


    615

    First I wanna say that Avril (or April) is an asshole, she said ON PURPOSE that Montréal is in Ontario, and that's by far worse than saying New York is in Massachussets cuz I've never heard of Massachussets wanting to separate form the USA…

    A lot of ignorant canadians here seem to think Québec has no ressources… in fact Québec is much richer than the average of Canada and only Alberta and maybe Ontario is richer than us. One of the few reasons Québec wants to separate is because we would be richer if we leave Canada than if we stay. We have a lot of ressources in Québec, hydroelectricity, wood, and most importantly there's a lot of computer software and high tech companies in Montréal (Ubisoft is an example), Montréal is like the silicon valley of Canada, also Québec is pretty good in the medical and research domain and we also get a lot of cash from tourism.

    Re: Chiley

    I'm not done…

    Chiley you tell us "YOU WANT FRENCH SO MUCH GO BACK TO FRANCE
    "

    Why don't you go back to UK , you moron?

    and calling us "racist" is the most ignorant statement i've seen. Some separatist could be racists, but I think it's a minority of us. I'm a separatist, I wish I had a country called Québec, but I'm not racist and I don't dislike canadians. Well maybe I dislike some canadians like you, but it's not cuz you're canadian it's cuz of they way you act toward us, if you wouldn't say "GO BACK TO FRANCE", I wouldn't dislike you.

    And please stop that "exodus" bullshit, if there really had any companies who wanted to leave, they would have already left by now.

    VIVE LE QUÉBEC LIBRE!!!

    Ok, reading through the long and lovely list of comments, I've noticed people attacking one seperatiste idiot anmes "je me souviens". Note to these people that attack back with "Quebec is a shithole, Canada is ashamed of Quebec, you're leeches, you're fake French" and whatever other idiotic stereotype you have, ITS ONE PERSONS FUCKING OPINION.

    Don't label an entire province that does make its own way within Canada and has its own economy and LOTS of resources and yes, culture that we value and want to protect, don't label everyone in that province with your bullshit. Get it out of your mind, these useless stereotypes and insults that not only demean fellow citizens and friends in the great country Canada, but demean yourselves as well, showing the world that one part of Canada act no better than grade school children.

    Basically, grow up. We're all in this country together, and if you don't like Quebec seperatistes then don't go to their level and make yourselves look like fools like they do.

    Re: KF

    Hey what do you have against "Je me souviens"? I find his comments pertinents and I'm totally agree with him. He's not attacking any canadians, he's only saying his point of view.

    Re: Québec Libre
    I don't have a major issue with it, I don't agree with seperatistes but hey, your opinion and views. I don't like how he put it though. But my comment was more directed to these idiots who think every single Quebecoise is like that, it just pisses me off. Sorry.

    628

    Re: Québec Libre – Quebec Much richer if you leave Canada YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides if Quebec were to separate "which I say go ahead” do you honestly think you guys will have as much land as the province has today? I think not. Do you think Montreal will be thriving after you separate? I think not. When you walk DT of Montreal look around all the business will not be there when you separate……they will all go to T O. And what will happen with the Canadiens "HABS” will you call them Les Separatist? EVEN LICIEN BUCHARD SAID IT”S NOT POSSIBLE TO SEPARATE

    629

    First off I was at the show in Montreal on Tuesday and not to sound stupid, I guess I was really excited and overjoyed.. I DIDN'T hear her mistake! I must agree, that was a pretty bad mistake. I adore Avril to death but I won't lie!! Well although I didn't catch her mistake people didn't seem too pissed off about it cause the concert was a hit anyway. Maybe she's just tired and run down i mean. she is on tour afterall! I'm just cutting her some slack guys!

  30. Lil E' says – reply to this


    630

    oh and by the way, don't make this issue bigger by bringing in the fact of quebec having seperatists and non speratists against Ontario. That is not the issue. At this point yeah it's bad that she said Ontario but come on seriously, don't start bringing in history of these 2 provinces for the love of god.

    C'mon you f**king GAY PEREZ "wrong name" HILTON (you are not part of the rich family but would like to be consider as one, UGLY FATTY DICK SUCKER )!!! It is not even your name stupid Moron !! I was at the show in Montreal Bell Center to SEE the more than Fabulous AVRIL LAVIGNE and let me tell you that YOU really are an ASSHOLE to insult her and say that ! She said she was happy to be in Montreal and to be back home ! THATS IT !!! NO mention anytime that Montreal is in Ontario !!! She did say that WE MONTREALERS were so incredible !!!! Not like you stupid moron !! You said that just to have something to bitch on a CANADIAN SINGER who is very popular in all the world. You should check on your side of the border my friend and you'll see that it is worst than here in our beautiful province of Quebec IN CANADA !!!! GO FUCK YOURSELF BASTARD !!!

    632

    Re: Chiley

    dude, how would Québec suddenly lose land once they get separated? that's a non-sense. Canada is made with 10 provinces plus some territories you can divide Canada, but Québec is a whole and you can't divide it in some parts.

    Montréal will look much better once Québec will be separated, all the business will still be there cuz if they would have wanted to leave they would have already left by now. and your argument is kinda old, you federalists are threatening us with this for many years and I've never heard of any companies who left and it won't happen.

    about the canadiens name, i don't really care cuz i'm a Nordiques fan, but what I know is that we called our team canadiens cuz at that time and even before canada was created québécois were called canadiens and you english stole our name and called yourselves canadians.

    and when Lucien Bouchard apparently said that??? do you have a link to prove it?

    all you people bitching about Montreal and calling it a shithole are retards. i bet most of you have never been to Montreal so just shut up, its an awesome, multi-cultural city. We are not "Fake french". Do you call people who speak Cajun/French in louisiana "fake french"? Or people who speak french in africa "Fake French"? Its like calling americans fake english.

    it's actually an upgrade for ontario to consider that montreal is a part of it and she comes from ontario so maybe she dit it on purpose. ;)

    Re: Chiley – you idiot we want to separate because we we're here before .Jacques Cartier came to Canada in 1534 and he called it Nouvelle-France (New-France).Then during the american indepedence war all the english sucker who doesn't want to be american came to canada and took our country.But almost 250 years later we still talk french and we're proud of it.And we don't like people from france!!!! And we have nothing againt immigrants but when they come here they don't talk french they are federalist and they vote against the inpendence of quebec because they are afraid that their canada citizenship will be cancelled. it's a fuckin conspiration by the canadian federal gouvernment.They needs us they will never let us go!

    For all the separatists it's time to get over your pipe dreams of a Country called Quebec……it ain't going to happen!!!!!! BTW the Natives where here first which you took their land first…..If Quebec were to separate all the native land will still belong to Canada, and all the border towns along Canada will still belong to Canada. Most of the people in the border towns would rather stay in Canada. So that leaves a very small Quebec…..LOL left overs of Quebec. For your French language. Oh My Freaking God, Quebecois French, compared to real French is disgusting at least the real French you can listen to it all day, however the Quebecois sounds like you learned your French from the Toilette.

    Stop wasting Canadians time and money on your PIPE DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
