Yeah, instead of pronouncing "liqueur" as "lic-koor"...

You don't have to be from Québec to have grown up in a French-speaking household in Canada. Great swaths of Northern Ontario (where Sudbury is), much of New Brunswick, and pockets of Nova Scotia, southern Ontario, Manitoba, and even Alberta speak French as a first language at home. But don't worry, the French look down their noses at us, too, since the Canadian French accent doesn't sound right in the salons of Paris.
