Richard: I was never asked the question! But my answer is both Monica and Rachel. (I’m still trying to get somebody to respond to the polygamy question…)

And generally speaking, French Canadians have all of the bad qualities of the French (disregarding the recent unpleasantness, in which I generally defend the French, much to my chagrin), and don’t even have unique good food or fashion sense to help counter that!

Really, I suspect it comes from being a Californian growing up and the natural animosity of a young Californian for arch-rival in all things France, extended to French Canadians as a pale initiation of their masters. See, I can’t help it! It’s in my blood! Nothing personal, really.
