  ipedia.com: Culture of Quebec Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
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 culture and know-how is transmitted by a generation and transformed by the next through its educational institutions.

Quebec City is known for its Winter Carnival and the Château Frontenac, an historic hotel which dominates the city skyline.

Quebec City is expected to be in competition with Moncton and Halifax for the franchise, though a new stadium would likely be needed as well.

The first Quebec comic strips appeared in the humour pages of a few newspapers in the late 19th century and early 20th century, following the trends coming from Europe.
Julie Doucet, Henriette Valium, Luc Giard, Eric Theriault, Gavin McInnes and Siris were among the names that were discovered in the small press publications.

Ouellette, who never shied away from cheerfully greeting them during raids or roadblocks, was allegedly nearly run off the road by bikers when he was a Quebec provincial police sergeant.
He retired a few years ago but was still active as a media commentator on organized crime and as an expert witness at biker trials.
One of the most relentless cops in Quebec, Ouellette gained his high profile during the bloody biker war in the 1990s and had a hand in locking up many of the province's deadliest outlaw bikers.

 Camping sauvage (2004)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Sometimes I was left wondering if the director was just throwing in everything but the kitchen sink to impress the audience with his oh-so-cute clever ideas, but the gimmicks are spaced out enough that it comes across as charming rather than contrived.
This works in the movie's favour, though, because it gives a lot of latitude to let the humour play out.
My only real problems were the occasional dip into toilet humour, and the fact that I found the lead female character more horrifying than attractive, and the plot of the movie rotates around her being immensely desirable.

This is a hilarious play on the subject of Anglo humour in Quebec, written by and starring comedians Bowser and Blue, Gazette humour columnist Josh Freed and cartoonist Aislin.
After 14 sold-out performances there, the play moved to Montreal's Centaur Theatre where it had three successive sold-out runs in October and December of 2005 and May of 2006.
