12footspringbok Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Always order poot-in when I'm up in northern Quebec. Never had any funny looks or unexpected surprises in my order. I can see the northern Ontario sloppy half English French folks pronouncing in Pootsin for sure though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few North Ontario French co-workers... they claim that Quebecois don't know how to speak french. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Then again, most quebecers don't speak real french either, bunch of jibberish of made up words with an accent added. First time I went to get a tune up for the car and asked for a courroi , he looked at me kinda strange(fan belt) they call it a strap. Next, ajuster les soupapes, valve adjustment, after that, the mechanic just said point to what you want done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
