You think that more than a quarter of the population of Asia knows who Celine is ? I doubt it, but I`ll bet ya that three quarters of the world knows who Captain Kirk is. Bet you BTS is more popular than Celine everywhere except Quebec and Las Vegas, even if China banned girly men.
I dont think anyone in China knows who Captn Kirk is, they might have seen the more recent star trek movies but surely not the original tv series. Céline is probably more popular every where else but here in Qc. I am far from being a fan of her, I prefer fusion and prog rock, but denying the fact that she is the most known person from Québec and Canada even is just plain ignorance.
LOL many people never heard of her or her music. She is only important inside Quebec and to the few drunken patrons that attend her shows in Vegas. She is frankly a has been and hasn't made any important or significant music in many many years and lives and leeches off past fame and success.
And at age 90 he puts to shame a faded pop star who in reality has limited fame in the French Canadian community in Quebec and not in the Anglo world at large.
I would argue that the most influencial is cohen, the most known celine. As for shatner, he is well known but ask people the name of the quebecer in star trek and most will answer « there is a quebecer in star trek? » plus his 600 000 million dollar price line money is a myth that was debunked a while back. his networth his way less significant than celine and laliberté. I don’t believe he has lived in quebec since he started his career. i see Sutherland here and there in Mtl but him never. btw the joke under your signature
That`s because if you say Quebecer to a person from outside Quebec ....they think French Canadian.
Shatner was educated at McGill and they have some kind of museum dedicated to him there.
I disagree, people outside quebec know that leonard cohen was a montrealer, that corey hart is a quebecer as well as norm mcdonald. French speaking quebecois might not know much about mc donald tho because he did his career in the usa - unilingual french quebecers do not listen to snl. most people do listen to music in english tho. I travelled to the states and around the world a lot and lots of people think french is a folkloric phenomenon here. I remember watching one of the late night show a few yrs back and they referred to le cirque du soleil as a France production.
what? that’s not true, most mcgill kids do not speak french or very very little, i spent enough time there to testify of that with certainty.
So what you are telling us is that the most prestigious university and institution of higher learning in all of Quebec, a province which mandates language laws that are visible to all, is allowed to send its graduates into the world not speaking any French at all. This of course makes complete and total sense. Does McGill get a tax exemption from Montreal and/or Quebec as well? If not, perhaps they should ask for one.
