Culture in Danger (Culture en Péril, with subtitles)

Back




***IMPORTANT NOTE: To see subtitles, you need to turn the captions "on" by clicking on the arrow button at the bottom right of the screen, then hover over the CC symbol and turn the captions "on". Thanks.*** This video was created by a few Québec artists to denounce the cuts in cultural funding by the Conservative governement, led by Stephen Harper. This version includes english subtitles. When Beau Dommage's Michel Rivard visits a newly formed governmental committee overseeing cultural financing, language gaps and cultural misunderstandings abounds, mostly when Rivard plays his classical song, "La Complainte du Phoque en Alaska" (The Complaint of the Seal in Alaska)... ***I received a message from the original creators, so I assume it's accepted that my subtitled version doesn't interfere with their intellectual property.*** http://tupperfan.blogspot.com

La bolduc a faite que dalle dans sa vie d'artiste, la seule chose qu'elle voulais c'Est de partager et d'être connu. Dans se temps il y avait des VRAIS artiste. Gagne de profiteurs! Au bord d'une recession ou l'art devient une economie de moins en moins rentable, à l'ère des mp3, LES ARTISTE GOURMANTS NE SONT PAS UN PLACEMENT RENTABLE

Certainement distincte du reste de l'Amérique du Nord qui l'entoure. La langue en est effectivement probablement l'effet déclencheur. Québec souscrit généralement à une idéologie sociale qui se rapproche plus des pays d'europe que du reste de l'Amérique du Nord. Qu'on parle d'écologie, de culture, de présence militaire à l'étranger.

Québec se soucit de ses talents locaux, ayant sa culture propre. La culture Canadienne n'est qu'un appendice nordique de celle des États-Unis. Quelques saveurs locales mais en gros du pareil au même. New-York est beaucoup plus similaire à Toronto qu'elle ne l'est de Dallas par exemple.

Un exemple qui démontre bien la différence est le prix de la Bobine d'Or (plus d'entrées en salles pour un long métrage) remis aux Juno Awards. Presque chaque année, un film Québécois l'emporte, alors que celui-ci n'est habituellement qu'à l'affiche dans UNE province sur 10. En contraste, les films Canadiens sont sans saveur pour ces même Canadiens, la raison étant la compétition Américaine qui cible le même marché culturel.

Vineon, you are one sad individual. Celine Dion made millions because she went after the entire north american market and was very successful. rivard stayed in quebec, whined incessantly (like you) about the english because he could not sing/speak english and is a small time singer/joke. as for being distinct from the rest of canada, you are right. quebec is #1 in whining, unemployment, lack of foreign investment, welfare, etc. VIVE LE CANADA AVEC QUEBEC INTEGRE!

Great for her, I also fully support exporting our talents whenever we can in the States, France or elsewhere and we sure have many of manage to. That said, it is still possible for many of the "others" to make a career locally, while the same really can't be said in the ROC.

As for the unemployement rate in Québec, it is near the lowest it has ever been, which should probably change soon thanks to the economy crisis we will (like the rest of the world) go through. Right now however, Québec hasn'y officially hit recession, while the same cannot be said about Ontario. Expect Ontario to catch up and even get a bigger rate soon enough. They already were announced to receive equalization.
Vineon (Thursday 27th of November 2008 08:05:30 AM)
That said, Québec is not first in unemployement still. If you still count Québec as "one of 10 provinces", it is right there in the middle of the pack. It has a much lower % of unemployement than what we see in the Maritimes, for example. With this, come similar figures for people on welfare. But looking at numbers without reshaping them however I see fit makes me a "sad individual" right?
