Montreal, September 15, 2001 / No 88 Harry Valentine is a free-marketeer living in Eastern Ontario. He can be reached at harryc@ontarioeast.net THE EMPEROR'S THE EVOLVING CULTURE OF QUEBEC by Harry Valentine 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. People in history 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.

Volume 17, Number 2, 1992 Back to the Table of Contents Is Quebec Culture Doomed to Become American? University of Quebec at Montreal 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. The Promotion of Identity: A Priority Policy Objective 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:

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Culture of Quebec 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.
