I believe that the luxury of a Québecois culture and language would be the first things to be compromised after independence. Canada has protected the uniqueness of Québec, and it is that very uniqueness which will be in jeopardy if they are to nurture a new country in a hostile economic world. Only France would have the patience to deal (in the French language) with an independent and chauvinist Québec. Other countries would be completely insensitive to their "uniqueness". Canada's committment to the protection of Québec has no less than enshrined it as a non-American culture in North America. Québec would be forced to deal with the real world through a linguistic and cultural black market, if it wanted to maintain the guise of being truly French. Bottom line: Québec would be for sale "the morning after", and it may well discover that its previously abundant resorces are no longer within its new borders. For sale, with very little to sell but its unique culture, a tourist destination, a cultural curiosity, a neurotic "Disneypays"...masters of their own house, but at what cost?

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.

Location: Management Board Secretariat Summer Employment Programs > Ontario-Quebec Summer Student Job Exchange Ontario-Quebec Summer Student Job Exchange Program - Overview and Eligibility How to Apply Frequently Asked Questions What is the Ontario-Quebec Summer Student Job Exchange Program? The Ontario-Quebec Summer Student Job Exchange Program (OQEP) is a Management Board Secretariat (MBS) sponsored program that allows a maximum of 75 students from Ontario with a minimum of one year university to work in the province of Quebec. The OQEP gives university students a chance to improve their French language skills, and experience the Quebec culture, while working in government ministries and agencies related to their field of study. The OQEP provides a 13 week work term, beginning mid-May and finishing mid-August. Half of the job positions are located in major Quebec cities such as Quebec city and Montreal. All other job positions are located regionally across the province. Ontario students will have the opportunity to experience the beauty and culture of Quebec along with students from Alberta, Prince-Edward Island, Manitoba, and New Brunswick who are also taking part in the exchange program in Quebec. Social and cultural activities are organized throughout the summer by the 4 coordinators of the program (3 located in Quebec City, 1 in Montreal). Such activities include an Official Weekend, where all students across the province have a chance to meet in Quebec City for cultural and social activities, and may also include whale watching, trips to Montreal, winery tours, camping, and historical landmarks.

Quebec: unique in its language and culture
One dominant language: French French is the first language of 81% of Quebecers. Nine percent speak English as their first language and 10% are native speakers of a language other than French or English. The French spoken in Quebec contains many original expressions and phrases which contribute to its distinctiveness within the international francophone community. To be heard by Quebecers, the advertiser needs to speak their language.
One dominant culture: the Quebec culture Even though Quebec is extremely open to cultural influences coming mainly from the United States, Europe and the rest of Canada, the principal cultural references of Quebecers are rooted in the history, culture and daily life of Quebec. In Quebec, the most popular singers are Quebec artists; the television programs most widely watched are Quebec programs; the production of books, drama, film, painting, sculpture, architecture and other artistic disciplines is extraordinarily prolific and the results are much admired by consumers. To be understood by Quebecers, the advertiser needs to speak to them as a Quebecer.

Below you will find NGCSU course numbers and descriptions, followed by descriptive summaries of the types of coursses offered by the Laval faculty. The Laval courses you take will be regrouped under the NGCSU course numbers and entered on your NGCSU transcript, later to be transferred to your own university. (The program Director takes care of all the details.)
Students must consult with their academic advisor on their own home campuses before enrolling in the program. Week 1 Only those students who have completed at least one intermediate level French course before arriving in Quebec are eligible to enroll in this course for credit (giving them a total of 9 semester hours). Those having had at least one intermediate course and who can write an essay-type exam take the course for upper-level credit. Those who have had one intermediate course but who are unable to write an essay-type exam take the course for intermediate level credit.

How Will Course Credit on the Quebec Program Be Handled?
You will apply to North Georgia College and State University as a transient student by requesting a "Letter of Transient Permission" from the registrar at your university. You will include this letter with your application (See "How Do I Apply" section below). Once in Quebec, you will take courses which are brought back to NGCSU under our own course numbers ( See the attached sheet ). When the program is over, the program director will have NGCSU Registrar's Office send a copy of your transcript to your own institution. How Will The Courses I Take At Laval Count In My Program Of Study? First of all, you should consult with your academic advisor when applying for the Quebec Program. It is your advisor who decides if the courses will count as required or elective courses. Laval courses do count for the language requirement in the University System of Georgia. Credit is offered form the elementary through graduate level. Since Laval is on a different academic system than we have in the United States, the actual Laval courses will be regrouped into NGCSU (and USG) course numbers such that you will receive credit from NGCSU in the following way.
Credit for courses taken with Laval faculty
6 hours of 1000-level credit for courses taken with Laval faculty during weeks 2 - 6
  • if you place in elementary level A (little or no prior study of French)

Jewish community left out
of Quebec-funded weekend By DAVID LAZARUS

Staff Reporter MONTREAL -
The weekend, which will include some 900 events across the province, always takes place over the last weekend in September, and receives $300,000 in funding from the provincial government.
The Saidye Bronfman Centre (SBC) has, until now, participated regularly, as have other Jewish groups.
While the centre will participate again this year, it will be only nominally, from 10 a.m. on Sept. 29 until its closing at 2 p.m., just hours before Rosh Hashanah begins, and a time when few, if any, members of the Jewish community or general public are likely to patronize the institution.
Lawrence Bergman, Liberal MNA for D'Arcy McGee, described the timing of the weekend as, "unfortunate." Saulie Zajdel, who is an Orthodox Jew and a member of the executive committee of the City of Montreal, which contributes $9,000 to the event, said he was "very disappointed" that an event intended to include all cultural communities, this year excluded one of its most prominent. "If I had known," he said, "I would have said something about it."

http://www.visitingarts.org.uk/features/v43qg.html
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.

Forum: Why Quebec?
Christopher M. Jones offers an update for Conan O'Brien and friends
Sunday, March 07, 2004 Quebec is in the news, and there's not even a secession referendum pending. Christopher M. Jones teaches French and Francophone Studies at Carnegie Mellon University ( cjones@andrew.cmu.edu Locally, we have the Quebec Festival, running through May 15. Presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, the festival showcases some of the best in dance, theater, ballet, music, poetry and visual arts from Quebec. But elsewhere in Quebec culture, we can turn to Hollywood, where Denys Arcand won the Oscar last week for Best Foreign film for "The Barbarian Invasions." Arcand is widely acknowledged as the best filmmaker Quebec (and perhaps Canada) has ever produced, yet was accorded only enough time to mutter roughly, "Sorry. I know time is up. Thank you. Merci." "The Barbarian Invasions" is a film about a man's death from cancer in the company of friends, with a message roughly equivalent to Arcand's Oscar acceptance speech, and yet that manages to be simultaneously elegant, literate and profound. Meanwhile, we have the NBC late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien. In his recent subsidized (by Ottawa and Ontario) sojourn in Toronto, he sent his chronically rude puppet, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, to Quebec to be rude, where it made sufficiently impolite statements about Quebeckers' body odor, language abilities ("You're in North America learn the language") and sexual orientation to ruffle feathers in Toronto, Ottawa and even in Quebec. Why even mention it? Good question, but it's news (albeit in the worst, superficial, celebrity-driven sense), and this is a newspaper.
