We should call them Qubecois.
"Quebecers" is absolutely the worst demonym I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.
I'd honestly rather use "Quebecans" or "Quebecinites" than "Quebecers". That being said, I'm francophone so I just say "québécois et québécoises".
C’est vrai, quebecers always sounds wrong to me for some reason. Québécois is the original, so idk I think it should just be québécois in English without any translations
Quebeccies it is
The word Québécois in English I think signifies more the ethnic group, than all Quebeckers (ppl who live in Quebec, Québécois or otherwise).
In French, it's ambiguous.
In Ontario I've generally heard and used "Québécois" and don't really hear Quebecers often. Weird that the Montréal CityNews outlet is using Quebecers of all places.
In my mind Québécois is a sign of respect, while Quebecers is dismissive, and I can't explain why I think that way.
I'm from Montreal originally. We call ourselves Quebecers.
I live in the mtl suburbs and I very rarely hear quebecers. Even Anglo people say québécois
