Talk:Franco-Ontarians

message: Franco-Ontarians who include English words in their everyday vocabulary aren't really doing so because of influence, they just don't know better.  It is in Northern Ontario where people will talk like that yet it is in Northern Ontario where there is the most Francophones who can't speak English.  Heck, Northern-Ontarian Francophones say Ottawa-Region Francophones (who pretty much all know how to speak English) talk like French Frenchmen!  Many Franco-Ontarians will use English words because they don't know what the French word is.  I once saw a documentary where a guy was saying "Comment s'qu'on dit ca 'windshield' en Anglais?"  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.51.229.129 (talk) 00:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, my cousins in Kapuskasing would say I talk like a Frenchman.  One also asked me what was the english word for "safety pin"! --Dandin1 02:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Just because Embrun is part of Russell Township, that doesn't mean that Embrun doesn't exist. Some people (I'm not making accusations, although as I've discussed this with you before, you know who you are) always seem to think that a town has to be incorporated to exist. Embrun has a population of 6,770 (2001 census figures, source at Embrun, Ontario article) and it is a major Franco-Ontarian cultural hub and is one of the four major Franco-Ontarian small communities in the East (the others being Rockland, Hawkesbury and Cumberland). To leave Embrun out is quite harsh. --FreshFruitsRule 16:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I have assessed this as a B, although it desperately needs more references and inline citations, and of low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 03:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
