Nickname for people living in a certain place

[Acajack]

Gatineau also gets:

Ti-Jos Gatineau or Ti-Joe Gatineau

Jos Gatineau or Joe Gatineau

Jos Gat or Joe Gat

And also "mâcheux de gomme et lanceux de roches" (people who chew gum and throw stones)

None of these are considered complimentary.

That's a really old pic! You're lucky no thin-skinned Longueuillois has come forward to shit on you yet for misrepresenting the current urbanity level of the subway node! (not actually "downtown", but almost.)

Calgarians say their from Calgrie as opposed to Calgary. I guess it's similar to Toranna.
