message: I have deleted the phrase in the introductory paragraph saying that a francophile could be 'in a broader sense' someone who loves Quebec or 'any other francophonie'. The simple truth is that this is totally errant. In no English dictionary is Quebec or any other francophone region besides France itself mentioned in the definition of 'francophile'. 
A love for the people of Belgium, for example, is not francophilia, but belgophilia. Following the patterns of English and French terminology, someone in love with Quebec and the Québécois would be called a Quebecophile, (québécophile, en français). 
Secondly, one country is not called a 'francophonie'. The Francophonie is the ensemble of francophone countries together, full stop.     
Lastly, I deleted the Quebec section of the article because in no way, shape or form did it discuss the presence (or lack thereof) of francophilia in that province. It only briefly explained Quebec's francophone identity and language legislation, which has nothing to do with France, French culture, French civilisation etc... Hence, nothing to do with francophilia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.111.91.209 (talk) 03:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

message: As a Lebanese myself who has lived in both Paris and Beirut I think a big section the Lebanese society is indeed very Francophillic. Other than the fact that the Lebanese elites have long identified with the French culture and continue to immerse themselves with everything French from food to education, the country is itself hugely influenced by France. It has to be said, that Francophilia in Lebanon, like everything else in the country, is very sectarian, with the Christians even using Francophilia as a distinguishing factor from the Muslims for a long period of time. The issue has its roots in Lebanon's extremely complex historical socio-sectarian problems, with the very creation of the nation of Lebanon largely depending on that French influence. I am not just talking about the country being Francophone, there was a genuine ideological connection between a section of Lebanese (mostly Maronites) and the French for centuries. --213.123.48.163 (talk) 12:12, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The Canada section reads really strangely to a Canadian. I notice there are not any sources listed for that entire section. While I am sure their are undoubtedly Francophiles in Canada, we as a people absolutely Hate the French. Their are no people in the entire world we hate more than the French. We are known for this, we are proudly anti-french, we spent generations trying to genocide them. Now this hatred is aimed at the French that live in Canada, but we consider them "French" so group them with the ones who live oversees to some extent. I am not saying that anything said in this section is necessarily wrong, but not pointing out that Canada likely contains the highest resentment towards the French per capita just makes the whole section sound made up and farcical.
