*laughs* The video is special. (I've heard the audio so many times) Though, if you're not from Quebec, 90% of the parody of the I Am Canadian stuff won't make alot of sense. (Wait...that's all of you...ahah...whoops.)

BTW Erm, there's a scene with le Bonhomme Carnavale, if you know who he is, that scarred me slightly. (I read a story about him where he has to get to the Winter Festival to be in the parade and find Madame Carnaval. He bords a Canada 3000 plane to get to Quebec City too....yeah, I somehow remembered that. What sucks however is that I've never gone to the Festival but I know so much about it. *wants a ceinture flêchée just to feel special*)

Abitibi-Témiscamingue is a region in Quebec (where Val-d'Or is) along the Ontario-Quebec border. It's real tongue twister if you've never heard of Abitibi-Témiscamingue. (I think during elections, since there is a riding of the same name, the English networks just call it 'Abitibi' which is also the name a tiny country-town......aka the setting of Blanche)

And Roch Voisine's got good music though I personally prefer Stéfie Shock. Still am greatly amused by his video of L'amour dans le désert which features him wandering around Montréal. A Montréal that's been buried by....I'd say 30ft of sand? Maybe 50 ft? I had fun going 'HEY! That's the Queen Elizabeth Hotel! So then...he's near the old Windsor Station where CPRail's HQ used to be' (the old timetables for when it was a station are still up but since we moved all the shops closed and the nearby Place Bonaventure's shops shut down from lack of revenue from the thousands of CPRail employees and visitors.) and 'HEY! That's 100 place René Levesque' and 'HEY! It's the Jaques Cartier bridge!!' and 'HEY! It's the search-light building!'. It's a very amusing video I say.

Here's an interesting fact I realized while surfing through Wikipedia, Mitsou Gélinas from CBC's au courant is the grand-daughter of the late-Gratien Gélinas. AKA, the writer of Tit-Coq and Bousille et les Justes. Interesting.

I think I need to start waking up at 7 again to watch French Kiss on Much Music. I'm curious what other French artists exist with good music these days.
