I have to agree with everyone else on this.I've never heard French Canadians called "peppers" either. Just "Frogs","Canucks", and Damned good hockey players! Peace...

Sorry, never heard of French Canadians being referred to as 'peppers'.
It's a deragatory slur
never heard of it either.
I asked my boyfriend (who is a Franco-Ontarian living in Ottawa) about this and he's never heard the expression.

I think they must be chili peppers cuz my French Canadian guy is HOT!!! *sassy wink*
