Merde!

I don't know the answer to your question, yellowcanine, but I thought this would be a good opportunity to share a few French curse words that I know.

Calisse! Esti! (or "osti," if you prefer).

They don't even sound offensive, but they mostly havee to do with the church.

They're so white the snow is a perfect camouflage and they just walk across with no one even seeing them.

French Canadians from Quebec are not on the list for extreme vetting for the same reason we are not building a wall on the northern border between the United States and Canada. As far as most Americans know, most French Canadians from Quebec are white. Also, as far as we know, Quebec is a minority Muslim place. There is also the chance that Donald Trump has business interest in Quebec.
