Wow! Canadien, canadian, canadienne, quebecer!!!

I don't know how popular it is out of Quebec, but doesn't this remind you the Elvis Gratton movie where he tries to explain who he is to a frenchman?

canadien francais
canadien de langue francaise
francophone d'Amerique du Nord.
  • .. ... ...

    • This movie is a classic.


    Yeah, I watched Pierre Falardeau (the Elvis Gratton creator) on "Tout le monde en parle" last weekend. He was where I got the term "colonized" from. He said Elvis Gratton was the epitome of a fully colonized Quebecer.

    It was great watching him squirm while they asked him how he could denounce Molson as one of the worst oppressors of the French people, but then accept an award from them (he wanted the money).

    Then again when they asked him how he could accept money from the Canadian government to make his films ("it's our money, I'm just taking it back!"). *Sigh* It bums me out just thinking about it.

    I saw it too but I missed the interview with him. I caught it right after. Actually I thought he didn't seem as frustrated as usual. Maybe because I saw him talk about other subjects. Falardeau seems to be stuck in the 50's, 60's and 70's. He still uses the same arguments while I think the situation has changed quite a lot since then.

    Actually, I know a guy that met him a few times and he is supposedly quite a nice guy.

    Jen, I sort of figured that West Side was referring to something other than Western Quebec; I was making a funny ....   

    And 3558, urbandictionary.com's definition of "Canadien" means "not American" is funny but in Canadian political terms, "Canadien" is used to refer to a Canadian of French ancestry living, or at least born, in Quebec. 

    Yes, and in Quebec political terms, "Canadien" is synonymous with "traitor" or "colonized Quebecer". No, just kidding. That's only true for 30% of the population.

    I've always known "Canadiens" as "Les Habitants(fr. sp?)" or more apprpriatly "Habs fans.

    I have thick hair so as unpatriotic as it sounds, I cant wear toques.

    But for the record, I do eat beaver tails. http://www.beavertailsinc.com/

    Canadian's (and Canadien's) rant:

    Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
    I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
    and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
    although I'm certain they're really really nice.

    I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
    I speak English and French, not American.
    And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.

    I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
    I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
    diversity, not assimilation,
    and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
    A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
    and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!

    Canada is the second largest landmass!
    The first nation of hockey!
    and the best part of North America

    My name is Joe!!
    And I am Canadian!!!




    There was a line in this commercial which was taken out because it really offended the US.. does anyone remember what it was?

    I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
    I sleep all night and I work all day.

    Chorus:
    He's a lumberjack and he's OK
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
    I go to the lavatory.
    On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea

    Mounties:

    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    I cut down trees, I skip and jump
    I like to press wild flowers.
    I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.

    Mounties:
    He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
    He likes to press wild flowers.
    He puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars?!

    Chorus:
    He's a lumberjack and he's OK
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    I cut down trees, I wear high heels
    Suspenders and a bra.
    I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa!

    Mounties:
    He cuts down trees, he wears high heels?!
    Suspenders...and a bra?!...

    Not sure how this thread got resurrected but I started reading it from the beginning. West Coast people not training cause they are too busy listening to hockey.... With the Canucks not even making the playoffs, they have more time to train!

    Same here for us Ontarians, re: Leafs.
