Samantha Bee's remark stuck in my craw. A people that regularly laughs out loud in public can not be accused of being humorless. Humour is a great part of French-Canadian life. Quebec has a school of humour just as it has a cirque school. Here is a link to the festival "Juste pour rire / Just for laughs" which started in 1983 and has organized festivals in Toronto, Canada; Nantes, France; Bermuda; and Chicago, USA. So they are exporting humor. Here is there link in english.

Let's see, it seems that all women named Samantha Bee are not funny at all - in fact they are very ignorant. French canadians - not funny? Well I guess that's all personal opinion and my opinion is that you are very unfair and don't know very many french canadians. Too bad for you - but in my opinion you're the one losing out. I definitely don't want to support NPR when they give women like this radio time.

Is Ms. Bee for real? I could not take anything she said seriously, and in fact turned off the radio, after she made the comment "French Canadian are seriously unfunny." What a misguided, lying bigot! I was raised with 30 aunts and uncles (half through marriage, Ms. Bee!) and I can tell you that almost all get-togethers, which happened many times a year, involved hours of joke telling; ask my poor American wife how long those parties lasted. Same constant humor at work, same at school, same in college, same in the cadets. Where have you been? What about the Just for Laugh/Juste Pour Rire festival, the biggest humor festival in North America? What of all the best selling albums from Deschamps and the Cyniques? How do you think we coped with being put down by English Canadians like you day in and day out?
As for Studio 360, the fact that you allow such BS on your show makes me wonder what else I have believed from you before that must have been pure crap. I teach my students (French, English, and Social Studies, in the USA, Ms. Bee) to check sources; well, I do have my doubts about the truthfulness of your statements and now I know that my donation money to PRI/NPR is, at times, going to wasteful, hateful, racist bigots who can't tell the truth. Shame on you, I am telling the story to all my students tomorrow morning. May I suggest that you join Beck on Fox next? That seems to be your standards at this time.

ah yes, all french canadians are unfunny.
all americans are fat
and all chinese are yellow.
and you are not calling her on it?
