A bit of a tangent, but it would have been nice if Quebec media were more accessible in other provinces. It would have been helpful in school both for vocabulary and pronunciation, and just a way to stay somewhat fluent in French, especially after graduating. It would also promote the Quebec dialect more over Parisian French.
the Quebec dialect
Which one lol
The laws on francophone media aren’t the same in the rest of the provinces, that’s why none of the rest of Canada has the same access to Quebec media. We all relied on Radio Canada to secure licensing j til the 90s, and then we had TV4 and that’s it.
Absolutely, unfortunatly multiple gov cut in art and culture so here we are.
Go to nfb.ca, they have some really great french movies
Telequebec.tv have great things but are more kids focus
Radio-Canada.ca/ohdio have some great podcast
For North American English speakers who don’t get it: Imagine that Fox decided to replace the original Simpsons voice actors that you grew up with with British ones who sound nothing like them, have thick British accents, use British slang and make local references to things only the British know about in the show. For the sake of the example the decision would have been made by a panel of extremely ignorant non-English speakers who think that the viewers wouldn’t notice the difference because “it’s also English therefore it is the same”.
That’s essentially the effect replacing the Quebec voice actors with the French ones would have had.
I’m not gonna lie, I grew up watching the Simpsons and this just kinda sounds funny to me. I’d give it a go.
So like every show on TV. We don’t have localized versions of any show, they all reference American or British things.
