Hip Hop is Dezuets by quebecstreetart Great example of how we use language innovatively to create and explore culture in Quebec! If anyone has listened to the album, tell us what you think of it in the comments! By the way, dézuets (sic) or désuet means old-fashioned or out of date.

Sweet Canadian news story of the day! A penguin celebrates its 33rd birthday at Montreal’s Biodome. CBC Montreal reports… Our favourite moment: the little boy who didn’t want the frozen fish cake for his own birthday.

Meet the happiest worker in Canada! Radio-Canada Rive-Sud, the CBC’s francophone service for our outer suburbs, is publishing an actually very surprising series of videos about life in Quebec malls. Here they interview a lady who has been cleaning a food court (foire alimentaire) for the past five years. Our favourite quote: “What is a food court? It’s first and foremost a place where people come together,” she said. Watch this video (in French) and challenge your perceptions of what community means in a land of double garages and white picket fences.
