		Quebec is at once a North American society and the main French-speaking society on the continent.
		Quebecers have cultural activities which, on the whole, are fairly different from those of the 350 million English-speaking citizens of Canada and the United States who surround them, and those of France, the country from which they have been disconnected since the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
		Quebec's most praised poet, Emile Nelligan, is born of a Quebec Francophone mother and an Anglophone Irish father.

	Culture of Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The architecture of Quebec is characterized by the juxtaposition of the old and the new and a wide variety of architectural styles, the legacy of two successive colonizations by the French, the British, and the close presence of the architecture of the United States to the south.
		Quebec's rich heritage of culture and history can be explored through a network of museums, which include the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, the Musée de la civilisation and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.
		The first traces of British influence on Quebecers occurred in the beginning of the 19th century when the population adopted the table manners of the English instead of the one used in New France: the fork to the left, the knife and spoon to the right and early dinner at 5-6 PM.

		Although this link is not that obvious in the Quebec repertoire, it no less remains that this style of music is reminiscent of that which was listened to drawing-rooms of all large cities in the western world during the 19th century.
		In several regions of Quebec, the dance is done to an ordinary reel, although some musicians still use an archaic melody in ternary scale, a melody which is only used to accompany this dance.
		This dance in 2\4 time is energetic and lively, and took European drawing-rooms by storm in the middle of the 19th century and then spread wildly across the globe.

	Eye Weekly - Culture yammering - 03.22.01
		BY Quebec Minister of Culture and Education Diane Lemieux (pronounced "LeMEOW!"), said on March 8 that, compared to Quebec, Ontario has "no culture." I think what she meant to say is, "Compared to Quebec, Ontario has no cultural funding."
		Then there are the people who create the culture in Quebec, like those tall, gorgeous women with their identical dark blue suits and bob haircuts -- the goddesses who embody the culture and create it by drinking brown cows in every bar in Quebec City and Montreal.
		Can Quebec boast of that kind of commitment, or are your artists rich, fat, sloppy and happy, lazing on the mercy dollars fed to them in the name of identity politics?
