I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this but you might want to read some american history books.
In the US war of independance, the French helped the US fight and later win the war. In fact, even when I went to Yorktown, Virginia; the American tour guide said that if it weren't for the french navy taking control of the bay and winning the naval battle (thus preventing the british from reinforcing thier troops or even from retreating) that the US would not have won their Independance.
Now, I reckon that you are referring to WWII, when france was taken by Nazi Germany. I would like to remind you that the U.S. did not single handedly save france. The whole allied forces conspired to make that happen.

allez tous vous faire enculer bande de fils de putes.
but seriously, i love quebec...but paris is where its at.
the only reason i like montreal is because
a) NS Offices
b) Drinking age ( i live in the US now)
c) it reminds me of Paris
d) Mcgill.

Hey I'm French and what's written above is wrong.
-twintips = skis bi-spatulés ("skis à doubles spatules " is okay, but does not sound really cool.
-rail = rail (it's also a pure french word)
- and half pipe = NOT demi-lune!!! Sounds so ridiculous! Never heard this word. half pipe = half-pipe!

Why are you proud of making wars? I'd be ashamed of it.

we didnt make wars. Fermez vos geules. French ppl do use a lot of english but in Quebec you try to translate everything and it sounds just ridiculous, like "magaziner", in france you say "faire du shopping", but then you say "une joke", which there is a word for, "une plaisanterie"... It's simply a kinda different dialect of french, and I have nothing against it at all though, dont get me wrong.

1- On dit pas "magaziner" on dit "magasiner" (dérivé de magasin)
2- On dit pas "une joke" on dit "une blague" ou comme tu dis "une plaisenterie"
Et oui, nous avons un français différent au Québec. C'est un français national, sans accent et on le parle parfaitement bien. Rien ne sonne ridicule. Bien que certains mots empruntes parfois leur origine dans la langue anglaise, au moins nous avons le mérite de faire l'effort de nous approprier les mots donc d'en faire les nôtres contrairement au laxisme et la pareisse du français européen qui ne fait que donner son accent aux mots british. So go ahead and make your "shopping"...I prefer doing my "magasinage".

ahah, good answer, but i do think that our french could be better, especially when you watch tv or listen to radio, it seems that the language they use on public media is more and more degraded... mais bon, je suis le premier a sacrer et parler comme un charettier, alors je veux pas chialer trop!
