Greetings, from Montréal!

Greetings, from Montréal!
Hello everyone!

My name is Jacques, I am 23 and from Montréal, Québec.

I currently go to University at L'Université du Québec à Montréal where I'm majoring(Masters degree) in Sociology and getting my Minor in Political Science.

Politically I am extremely left leaning. Here, I support Bloc Québécois and NDP parties. I am a registered Democrat in the USA too because I am a dual citizen. I lived in Austin for part of my high school time as well as for 4 years while in University.

Um, what else.. Oh, I was born in Québec City. My favorite food is without a doubt Poutine, which is a delicious French fry dish with gravy and cheese. It is almost exclusively sold in Québec but big mistake on their part because it is delishh! I am engaged to my boyfriend. So, I am obviously gay! I speak two languages 100% fluently. French and English.(French being my native.) I also speak a little Esperanto. I was born as a Catholic but became an atheist a few years ago. Well, I would say more of an agnostic. Oh, and one more thing. At the end of last semester I broke down because I hate that I am majoring in Sociology. I wish I would have majored in Nursing!! :-p

But I wholeheartedly respect almost all religions in the world. Even though of course they have screwed up the lives of so many people, they have also enhanced many lives and so I respect religion for that. I am a very tolerant person.

So there is a little basic info about me! I look forward to the discussions here, and hello!!

Hello Jacques,

I'm afraid I don't share your love for Poutine, but that doesn't stop me from giving you a sincere welcome to the forum anyway. Wink I hope you enjoy your stay.
Best regards,

Bonjour Jacques, comment ca va? bien j'espere.
Bienvenue.
I like to dabble a little in my small knowledge of the French language.
Nice to have another " leftie " on the forum, I am a socialist of the old order.

A bientot!

Welcome here Jaques!

The Esperanto thing intrigues me. Is it promoted in Canada to some degree?
