Hey speak for yourself, I was forced into French immersion school by my parents with promises of good government jobs. Now I can understand French but Quebecois is a whole different beast 😂

Why do some people prefer Quebecer over Quebecois, when reporting on current events in Quebec in English?

Québécois is the French denonym, Quebecer is English, some people prefer the French name.

I think Quebecer is a noun, but Quebecois is an adjective? Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken...

Quebecer it's just our demonym in English.
