The culture of Quebec is connected to the strong cultural currents of the rest of Canada, United States, France , and Britain all at the same time. As such, it is often described as a crossroads between Europe and America. The

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Boys

Extractions: Les Boys is a Quebec -made comedy film. It has spawned three sequels (with Les Boys IV to be released in December 2005) and by any measure ( profit box office or attendance) is the most successful Quebec made film series of all time, and one of the most successful Canadian -made film series of all time. Spoiler warning Plot or ending details follow. edit The plot revolves around the players on a hockey team ("Les Boys") that plays in an a low level amateur league. They are made up of a wide variety of professions and personalities, including a police officer , a barely competent doctor , a mechanic , a goalie who has lost his confidence, a shifty real estate salesman and a closeted gay lawyer . The team is sponsored by a pub owner, whose son desperately wants to play hockey with the older men. The film starts at the time of the league championship, at which time the team is soundly thrashed in the final. Meanwhile, the pub owner is losing at poker to the head of the local organized crime syndicate, to the tune of $50,000. Given the opportunity to pay him back, the owner can only raise $25,000. After threatening to break his leg, the crime boss proposes another wager - a game between Les Boys and his own team. If Les Boys win, the debt is settled, but if they lose, the crime boss gets the pub.

THE EVOLVING CULTURE OF QUEBEC
The proud tradition of quebec culture is still alive and well preserved in a few areas of the province. It is not the government which is preserving this
http://www.quebecoislibre.org/010915-9.htm

Extractions: The culture of any society is comprised of many factors which include the history of the culture, the struggles and hardships preceding generations endured, their religious devotion, the levels of education people attained, the art and literature which they produced and to which they were exposed. These factors will contribute to the values the society or culture embraces as well as how individuals in the particular culture perceive themselves. Do the individual members of the society seek to play the role of followers, uncritically obeying the culture's leaders, or do the individual members view themselves as autonomous people with a right to their own lives as well as a right to their own minds? If they choose the latter, then there would exist in the culture, members who seek to explore, to solve problems and to create opportunities. A great impetus has existed in Quebec to seek to preserve the French culture as well as the French language, including through political independence or secession from Canada. The culture of Quebec is ultimately based on the history of the people whose families have lived in Quebec through several generations. This history has to reflect people living under severe hardship and successfully dealing with the setbacks and challenges they confronted. The history needs to reflect how people helped each other struggle through the severity of the hardships which previous generations lived through. The success of the earlier generations at dealing with the severe hardships they faced assured the survival of the generations which followed. The success does more than just assure physical survival, it is a deep spiritual gift and legacy that the earlier generation of Quebeckers have bestowed to later generations.

http://info.wlu.ca/~wwwpress/jrls/cjc/BackIssues/17.2/tremblay.html

Extractions: The fear of American cultural colonization is a recurring theme in Quebecois and Canadian discourses on culture. This apprehension explains the importance accorded to the defense and the promotion of cultural identity in all policy statements concerning culture and communications. After demonstrating the salience of this theme in policy discourses, I will provide the first elements of an answer to the question posed in the title of my paper by way of certain data concerning television supply and demand. These data permit one to conclude that American cultural productions represent a potentially important but relative influence. I will continue with an attempt to explain, by reference to the constraints of the Quebecois cultural market, there remains a real threat of cultural invasion. I will conclude with a discussion of the foreseeable consequences of an eventual integration of the cultural industries sector within the Canadian-American Free Trade Agreement. In Canada, broadcasting is considered an instrument of production and diffusion that must contribute to the maintenance and development of Canadian culture and its various components. The 1968 Broadcasting Act was quite explicit on this matter. The recent Broadcasting Act, adopted by Parliament in February 1991, is even more explicit. Article 3, which defines Canadian broadcasting policy, has several paragraphs pertaining to this subject. It begins by defining the maintenance and the enhancement of national identity and cultural sovereignty as fundamental objectives:

Extractions: Many poets at heart and deep thinkers have come to Quebec City to dwell within its old stone walls. Some left in a huff, others stayed for a brief period of time, while a few who were born here saw their star shine in faraway skies. Their number includes writers, poets, artists and musicians, in addition to religious figures, politicians, scientists, merchants and people from all walks of life. Blue plaques attached to the sides of buildings throughout the city indicate where historical figures, some quite famous, others not so well-known, were born, lived, died, or simply pondered the many mysteries of life. Go wherever your feet may take you on your stroll through the city, for you never know who you will encounter as you walk down the street, tour a museum or visit an interpretation centre.

http://www.fact-index.com/c/cu/culture_of_quebec.html

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Quebec's culture is renowned as North America's stronghold of francophone living. There are over six million people in Quebec (out of a total of roughly seven million) whose everyday language is French . Quebecers have cultural activities which, on the whole, are fairly different from that of the 350 million English -speaking citizens of Canada and the United States who "surround" them, not only geographically but also economically and politically. Great efforts have been made to preserve its unique qualities as it is often inundated with American influences. There have also been efforts to export its Quebecois flavour to English-Canadian culture, commonly known in Quebec as The Rest of Canada . Distinguishing features of Quebec culture are, historically speaking, its religious influence (specifically Roman Catholic ), its rural roots, a love of winter and the sense of isolation as an island of French in a sea of North American English.
