A Québec Celebration!!!

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! The reason I have entitled this post "A Québec Celebration," is because I plan to do just that...celebrate Québec.  Most of you know that I was born and raised in Montreal, Québec, Canada, and that I have lived here all my life.  Now why am I celebrating Québec, and not Montreal or Canada? Well, I am, and always have been, proud to be Canadian...but Canada is a large country, so I wanted to narrow it down a bit.  

While we all are aware of the negatives that exist in the parts of the world where we live, I wanted to focus on the positive that is found here in Québec.

Canada has provinces and territories, and Québec is one of the provinces that make up Canada.  Québec is unique from the rest of Canada in that it is the only predominantly French speaking province.  Québec is Canada's largest province...by area, and its motto is "Je me souviens", which means, "I remember." Québec is also known as "la belle province", which means "the pretty province".
Now, I am not a historian.  I consider myself to be more of a tour guide, I suppose, but nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy this post.

Like anywhere else in the world, Québec has its fair share of talent!  I am going to share some of this talent with you in this post.  You are all familiar with the Just for Laughs Gags that I post here every day...these are, for the most part, done right here in Montreal, throughout Québec and they even travel the world to do them.  

All the videos I am sharing today are from the talented actors and singers who are from Québec. Most of you, if not all of you, are already familiar with the Just for Laughs Gags and Celine Dion.  I hope you enjoy these videos that I am sharing, and there are a couple more singers that are from Québec whose music I am sharing with you today.  Thank you so much for taking time to listen to these videos.

And last, but certainly not least for my theme of a Québec Celebration, here is the website of an amazing and talented Québec artist...Pauline Paquin! Pauline Paquin Art
