3 words that best describe Quebecers: Welcoming, complainers, warm — POLL

Quebec anglophones gravitated towards words like “sympathetic” and “laughing,” but also “xenophobic” and “hypocritical.”

A new poll conducted by Leger in conjunction with the Journal de Montreál asked Quebec-based respondents to describe Quebecers with one word, the top three being welcoming (43%), complainers (20%) and warm (20%).

The study notes that 20 out of the 25 words were positive, and that there were significant differences between regions and linguistic groups.

In Montreal, the most common words were “proud” and “adventurous,” while Quebec City residents responded predominantly with “whiners” and “helpers.” Quebec anglophones gravitated towards words like “sympathetic” and “laughing,” but also “xenophobic” and “hypocritical.”

The online survey was conducted from Nov. 5 to 7, 2021 among 1,006 Quebecers, aged 18 or over and able to speak French or English.
