10 & 16?

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

I don't swear in french but i might say "criss" is an amazing swear word.

16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?

We have different stereotypes for us, Québécois and legit when Usians assume that we're just like the French, i die a little inside. Portray me like a drunk who does nothing and screams "vive le Quebec libre, tabarnark" while wearing a plaid shirt and eating poutine, i don't care but don't give me french stereotypes. I'll break your kneecaps.

Idk. Whichever stereotype xenophobic people have on us is probably the one i hate the most lol

I don't mind most of the stereotypes ig. Just get them right lol

The story behind the “Vive le Québec libre” photograph, 1967 “Vive le Québec libre!”. 1967. On 24 July 1967, during a state visit to Expo ’67, General Charles de Gaulle, president of France and a hero of the 20th century, proclaimed from the balcony of Montréal’s City Hall a sentence that would change the history of Canada: “Vive le Québec libre”. Translating to “Long Live Free Quebec”, it is…

Montreal City Hall (No. 1)

The five-story Montreal City Hall (French: Hôtel de Ville de Montréal) is the seat of local government in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was designed by architects Henri-Maurice Perrault and Alexander Cowper Hutchison, and built between 1872 and 1878 in the Second Empire style.It is located in Old Montreal, between Place Jacques-Cartier and the Champ de Mars, at 275 Notre-Dame Street East. The closest Metro station is Champ-de-Mars, on the Orange Line.

As one of the best examples of the Second Empire style in Canada, and the first city hall to have been constructed in the country solely for municipal administration, it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984.

Construction on the building began in 1872 and was completed in 1878. The original building was gutted by fire in March 1922, leaving only the outer wall and destroying many of the city's historic records. The architect Louis Parant was commissioned for the reconstruction, who decided to build an entirely new building with a self-supporting steel structure built inside the shell of the ruins.This new building was modelled after the city hall of the French city of Tours.Other changes included a remodelling of the Mansard roof into a new Beaux-Arts inspired model, with a copper roof instead of the original slate tiles.

In 1967 Charles de Gaulle, the president of France, gave his Vive le Québec libre speech from the building's balcony.

1979 Starmania review in French local newspaper Sud Ouest.

Long Live Free Opera! (reference to the infamous De Gaulle quote "Vive le Québec libre!" Long live free Quebec)

This week's Parisian event is a satire of our current propensity for becoming stars, whether in the fields of finance, arts or terrorism! Set to a disco tune. Seventy singers and dancers are bombarded with laser beams on a background of giant tv sets. This is "Starmania," the rock opera from Frenchman Michel Berger and Quebecker Luc Plamondon. The main cast is also split evenly between France (Etienne Chicot, Daniel Balavoine, France Gall) and Canada (Diane Dufresne, Fabienne Thibeault, Nanette Workman). In short, long live free opera!

--

I love that they call it "disco" music when Starmania is 1) a lot of things musically but disco is not one of them, and 2) pretty transparently despises Disco I feel (see Ziggy's "je suis fonctionnaire du disco" I'm a disco desk jockey / "C'est une musique mécanique, musique apocalyptique" it's mecanial, apocalyptic music).
