Well, or Westerners generally don't like Québécois and you're getting
the opinions of Westerners. 

It's more than a subset of them are convinced the rest of us aren't
Canadian, rather than that they aren't.  Said subset is in a demographic
vise and knows it.  (Rather like Toronto is currently past 30% recent
immigrant; the Bay Street image doesn't fade very fast (what with Bay
Street still being there) but having one metro region have a quarter of
the population of a country still has side effects.)

I have no French to speak of but quite like Quebec and various Québécois
colleagues I've had over the years.  Anyone with landscape photography
ambitions could do a lot worse than to spend some time around Quebec
City, and you could die of your age before getting through all the good
food in Montreal.
