Quebec without a real identity


Hey guys !! Who never heard a friend complaining that our artists are not that influent ? Or, a family member yelling that our style disappears? It drives me crazy. Honestly, we have so many important personalities that represent our nation, our culture and our pride. That is just a myth that we need to clarify.

Did you forget Céline Dion? This little girl from Charlemagne who has her own star on the walk of fame since 2004. She’s the heart of the Quebecois. Always there to denounce the different unfairness. She fought for the victims of Katrina in 2005, helped the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and sang after that the planes destroyed the symbol of America on the September 11th. She popularized her French songs, our language. She is proud of being a Canadian, a Quebecois, but before all of it: a francophone signer.

And now, what about the Circle du Soleil ? This formation shows what we really are; talented, persevering, professional, resourceful, respectful people too much forgotten. Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier redefined the circus. Scatted all around the globe, those representations imagined by Baie-Saint-Paul men use our minority to demonstrate our rarity.

And that is not over, Simple plan which is a group more known by the teenagers went in Asia. This band seduced them. And what about the New Cities? What about our humorists that went in Europe to defend our culture? What about Gabrielle Roy who popularized our French literature? What about all the others artists that are there to conserve our cultural heritage?

Now, a reason why the other countries know the difference between Quebec and the Canada is because of those symbols, those soldiers and those genius. Quebec without identity ? Definitely false.

You know you love me ;p !
