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 Encyclopædia Britannica describes contemporary Quebec culture as a post-1960s phenomenon resulting from the Quiet Revolution (Révolution Tranquille), a counter-culture phenomenon supported and financed by both of Quebec's major political parties.

Extractions: In previous centuries, Quebec's lands were used as hunting, trapping and fishing grounds for the Nipissing, Algonquin and Inuit people. The Vikings may have visited Quebec around AD 1000, but the first documented European explorer to see the province was Jacques Cartier, who arrived in 1534. In the early 1600s, Samuel de Champlain and other French explorers began to establish a few trading posts and settlements, including one at the site of Quebec City. But it wasn't until the late 1600s that French colonists began to settle the land in larger numbers. Soon, Britain began to squeeze the French out of the Atlantic provinces. Many of the refugees ended up in what is now Quebec, making the colony's French character grow even stronger. By the 1700s, France was losing its hold on its North American possessions altogether. In the famous battle on the Plains of Abraham outside the fortress city of Quebec, Britain's Gen. James Wolfe defeated French Gen. Louis de Montcalm. That victory helped to hasten the British conquest of Canada, which was accomplished in 1763. It did not, however, result in the conquest of Quebec's French culture.

http://www.cottageholidays.ca/map-province-11.html

Extractions: Quebec, Canada's largest province, occupies a vast territory (nearly three times the size of France), most of which is very sparsely populated. More than 90 percent of Quebec's area lies within the Canadian Shield, a large part of which was historically referred to as the Ungava Region. This vast and virtually uninhabited northern region created the massive Province of Quebec as seen today. This huge new addition to Quebec bordered James Bay and is where Quebec is located in eastern Canada, bordered by Ontario and Hudson Bay to the west, Atlantic Canada to the east, the U.S. (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York States) to the south, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. Quebec does not recognise the Labrador boundary drawn by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1927. The Province's three largest hydro-electric projects would eventually be built on the La Grande River. As a North American society and the only society on the continent with a French-speaking majority, the culture of Quebec shows many unique features. On the whole, this culture differs from that of the 350 million English-speaking citizens of Canada and the United States who surround it, as well as from that of France.

Extractions: Quebec: growing into the world... arts from Canada July 2000 In 1998, when Time Out published a list of the 30 most influential theatre productions presented in London over the previous 30 years, the second item on the list (right behind Peter Brook's legendary 1970 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream ) was The Dragons' Trilogy , an original play from the late '80s, directed by a then wunderkind from Quebec, Robert Lepage. The fact that a production from Quebec, played partly in French by a relatively unknown company, could have such an impact in one of the great Meccas of world theatre is of course a great compliment for Lepage, his company and for Quebec theatre. But the event also shows where Quebec culture as a whole has been headed over the last 20 years: starting out in Lepage's hometown of Quebec City, The Dragons' Trilogy aptly blended the local French heritage with that of British visitors and Chinese immigrants, adding in Brecht/ Weill songs and characters from France and Japan, all while exploring universal questions like the Second World War and the meeting of Eastern and Western culture. Firmly anchored in the local reality of Canada's only French-speaking province, it was a work of art truly open to outside influences, merrily integrating what the whole planet had to offer.

And Thus Began A Love Affair With Quebec City
This was my first direct exposure to quebec culture and its people. We were complete strangers to these young folk, but they welcomed us in with open arms.
http://www.fawi.net/ezine/vol3no4/Swartz.html

Extractions: I consider each trip that I take up there now a pilgrimage of sorts; each time I visit some of the same places. They mean so much to me as they have become a part of me. These include Notre-Dame, located right in the middle of Old Quebec, the Governor's Walk in front of the Chateau Frontenac, eating poutine (French fries, cheese curd and gravy) at Ashton's, the basilica of Ste-Anne de Beaupre, and hiking to the top of Montmorency Falls. All of these places and the faces there have become a strong part of my identity. As I walk down the streets I take in the language of the Quebecois; the twangy, nasal French that I have grown to love. I admire the storefronts and the people that walk so close to one another, enjoying eachother's company. It's just a different world, and one that is so important to me. Through certain events, both hilarious and a little sketchy, I have found a place to call my second home. We crossed the border without a problem and made our way through the Beauce region (known for its agriculture and lumber) and came upon the outskirts of the city. Keep in mind that it was about two in the morning and my eyes were crossing. We didn't have a clue as to where we would stay, but Anne thought herself a magical worker as she took in some of the hotels that we were passing. I wanted so desperately to stop; I didn't care if we stayed in a roach motel as long as we got some sleep that night. The other three girls were having a blast reading the French billboards and taking in the sights. Eventually we saw Laval University up ahead. Anne took the wheel from me and yanked it to the left across four lanes of traffic.

Extractions: page 16 Agnes Maltais is Quebec's new minister of culture and communications. She replaces Louise Beaudoin, who was named minister for international relations. Maltais' nomination has no immediate implications for the production industry in Quebec, although there is some speculation sodec president Pierre Lampron may eventually follow Beaudoin to international affairs. Lampron is preparing for the formal launch of SODEC-Financiere, expected to take place following his trip to natpe and New Orleans this month.

http://www.tomifobia.com/black/quebec_culture.shtml

Extractions: Quebec culture, North American-style Gilles Duceppe is right about one thing, Quebec really is different. The best evidence of that is not fiscal imbalance, language laws, nor nationalist tug-of-war - it's culture, baby, the swirling, intertwined, star-driven, festival-mad, barrier-breaking madness that makes up the French-language arts and entertainment scene in this gathering of some seven million souls. But not all Quebec cultural offerings are so frightfully distinct; indeed some take their inspiration from distinctly out-of-province sources. We offer the following few examples. Indeed, the first item concerns Duceppe himself. There's a story going round that the Bloc Quebecois triumph in Quebec got a lot of help from Elvis. That would be Elvis Gratton, the one-time Elvis impersonator, turned ultra-federalist buffoon and in his latest incarnation, a media tycoon. Elvis Gratton is the creation of ultra-separatist filmmaker Pierre Falardeau, who once again this year turned up at Canada Day festivities in Quebec City to mock and provoke the celebrants.

Extractions: Quebec Culture Report Inspired by the National Post's gesture to national unity in putting a big picture of Quebec's effervescent talk-show host Julie Snyder on its front page (while the rival Globe and Mail carried chopper-jockey, war-crimes buster Louise Arbour), this column brings you a sampling of breezy summer items from the regrettably neglected world of Quebec arts and culture. Seeing as the subtext of this column is to avoid writing about the nurses strike, it's only fitting that the first item deal with another havoc-wrecking labor dispute the theatre technicians walk-out at Place des Arts in Montreal. While as yet no one has argued that the curtain-pullers and spotlight gunners at Montreal's premier theatre provide essential services, the dispute is making the producers of PdeA shows, such as Les Miserables , well, miserable. If the strike is not settled well before the musical's August 3 opening date, Les Miz will have to find another venue not easy in a city chock-a-block with summer spectacles or cancel its lucrative Montreal run.
