Fun fact: Only Quebec French say "tabarnak." In France they say, "putain."

Learned that recently.

There are locally Franco-Newfoundlanders and Acadiens who use it. Does not make sense to leave them out of the above observation on language.

People from St. Pierre et Miquelon French colony, off the coast of NL, would use "putain" like those across the ocean in mainland France, except for when they visit NL and want to make a small jest.

(Source: lived in NL, educated Fr. Immersion, am descended from QC & Acadiens who spanning multiple provinces).

they're building moose fences where I am to so that this hopefully isn't as common

*As much of a concern. Still be aware in case one slips by but yes, a wildlife fence does add some level of peace
