True, but we still have a stronger cultural/societal link with France than with the rest of Canada or the english world. Going to France is just visiting cousins and there's a lot of cultural exchange between our two nation. But yeah, we are deeply North American as well and there is some pretty deep cultural shocks sometimes.
La belle province.....My favorite province in Canada. I was born and lived in New Brunswick all my life, but I've always been in love with the province of Quebec.
Oh so you love racist anti-english language police nazis? Boycott Quebec!
To answer your question about the sphere, this was the USA pavillion in Expo 67 , which was the biggest world fair built on an non existant island back in the 60s . The pavillion burned in the 70 leaving it empty until it was repurposed in the museum it is today
The USA pavilion housed some of the Apollo mission modules for a while, among other things.
Designed by the famous American architect Richard Buckminster Fuller.
And it inspired the constructors of Epcot's Spaceship Earth
@@jopay142 realy wow!
Thank you Tyler for watching this video on Québec, my province. It is beautiful!
You can see whales in the Saguenay Fjord, which has breathtaking scenery and along the St-Lawrence river (from say the city of Tadoussac).
The Montmorency falls are very close to Québec city.
There was a documentary made on how of Expo '67 came to be. Biggest and most successful World Fair to this day. If I remember correctly, the Biosphere was the American pavillon.
Mont-Tremblant is situated in the Laurentides region. It is mostly known as a ski resort.
I am sad they did not show attractions in my region: Les-Canton-de-l'Est (the Eastern Townships) where, during the War of 1812, Americans wishing to stay loyal to the British Crown moved to. Outside of Montreal, this is probably the most bilingual part of Québec.
There are lot of hiking trails, skiing resorts, bicycle paths galore, historical towns, the Granby Zoo (opened all year round and offering sleeping accomodations on site!), etc. . .
The town of Dunham and others around this wine-growing region offer gastronomical tours (la route de la gastronomie).
There's also the Centre de la Nature du Lac Boivin in Granby, a well maintained nature reserve, with various trails, where thousands upon thousands of geese and ducks congregate on the lake in spring and fall and where birds eat from your hands.
en effet 8 miles de Québec..Montmorency fall 8 miles from Québec city so veery close.
My dad's family is from Bury and it's absolutely gorgeous in that area!
It's too bad nobody makes videos about all the treasures hiding in each of the lesser known townships. Then again, he'd never have time to get through them all in one lifetime 🤣
Yes it was a pavillion representing the USA I remember as a 5 year old visiting it with my mom and friend of hers and many other pavillions during Expo 67. I remember it being sunny that day and a lot of people. The structure caught fire back in the 1980s nearly destroying it before it became the Biosphere. The Casino was also a former pavillion but I can't the country it represented at the time. But the Biosphere and the Casino are the only pavillions remaining from 1967.
There are really good and beautiful kind of places to see and visit in Québec, some that even Québécois themselves never know of existence ;)
Just a suggestion, but ignore "SilvanaDil". It's like this on all of Tyler's channels. Tyler must have really hurt it emotionally and the poor thing doesn't have the strength or mental capacity to let that wound heal, so it insecurely and childishly takes it out on the rest of the world.
They only covered a very small part of Quebec. The Gaspé Peninsula is a mind-blowingly beautiful part of Quebec and something you need to check out.
I agree with you Brian but it is something we like to keep to ourselves :)
This video clip does Quebec no justice whatsoever. Tiny glimpses of nothing. Quebec is huge.
Montreal is an incredible city full of life and do much to see. You should react to a UA-camer called Discover Montréal. Montreal is known as North America’s most European city.
Quebec City is absolutely gorgeous.
@@andrethibault9373 Why?
@@senbonzakurakageyoshi662 It is a joke, Just as if we wanted to keep its secret beauty to ourselves. In fact you are welcome to come and visit. It is a trip of a life time. I live there so I know.
I totally agree with you! I lived most of my life in Matane, a small town on the border between the regions of Gaspésie and Bas-Saint-Laurent, and most of my summer vacations were either passed in Quebec City or in Gaspésie. The place is just beautiful and there's surprisingly a lot of touristic attractions if we consider the very low population. There are the Parc National de Forillon, Parc Naturel de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé, Parc National de Miguasha, Bioparc de Bonaventure, beaches of Carleton-sur-Mer, the Îles-de-la-Madelaine, Parc National de la Gaspésie, the Jardins de Métis, the Site d'interprétation Micmac, the birthplace of Canada in Gaspé, the Réserve Faunique des Chic-Chocs, the Réserve Faunique de Matane, Exploramer in Saint-Anne-des-Monts, and a lot more!
.Being Canadian and living in the US watching an American comment on my country touches my heart. You bring back a lot of memories that I had forgotten. Thank You from an Acadian Canadian, Check those out if you haven't yet.
'Acadians' are traitors. You are now British and must pledge allegiance to our King Charles.
And they did not even talk about the Gaspésie peninsula! The National park, Forillon, the Rocher Percé and the whole road 132 (to name a few), have some of the most beauiful scenery in all of Québec.
Agree! Or any great lake like Pohenegamook.
Totally agree! Gaspesie could have its own video like this.
Just more to come…
So true! How can you talk about Québec without mentioning Gaspésie 🤦🏻♀️
Charlevoix 🏞❤
Québec City is magical. We've been for all seasons and we're always planning our next trip on the way back home. There is no city like it, or even close, in North America.
Charleston,S.C. looks a lot like Québec and it is close to the same age 1608 Québec and 1670 Charleston.
Quebec city was built by the French settlers, it has been awarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site ❤️
@@MrSanTang I believe Charleston has a French Quarter.. where the architecture is somewhat similar to Québec City.. Is it because of closeby Louisiana? not sure if the French settled in Charleston.. Wikipedia says it is because there is a large concentration of French merchants..
You can see whales in the Saguenay river near Tadoussac... The Montmorency Falls are about fifteen minutes from Québec City. Fun Fact, this fall is almost a hundred feet taller than Niagara Falls. And the St-Jean-Baptiste day is also my birthday! LOL!!! The Biosphère was actually the USA pavillion in Expo 67. There are videos talking and explaining all about Expo 67, the only Expo that made a profit to this day... It was phenomenal... Mont-Tremblant is about 2 hours from Montreal, it's a ski resort in winter, that's why they have the gondola. Must Do Canada also made a video in a Park in the province of Quebec, Parc Oméga! You should look it up... they had a very fun and cool experience there. Oh almost forgot to tell you, yes, it's maple syrup taffee that they're licking! Ha ha ha... Try and come visit us in the end of March/beginning April, usually that when the sugar shacks opens their doors and you have the experience of a "maple season"! Also, if you're looking for another channel that travelled across Canada there's one called Sprout... he began his voyage from Newfoundland and went his way to Vancouver by train with one of his friend. Very interesting adventures they did...
Tyler, you have to cross the 49th Parallel for a holiday! Let your viewers know when you're coming North and we'll show you around our respective provinces. Mike Downey is a Canadian Travel Vlogger and he took a train across Canada a few years ago. He spent a few days to a week in each province. You might be interested in watching some of his videos. He really goes off the beaten path!
I am in Canada and live at the 45th parallel.
I second Downey Live. He is from Vancouver and produces good videos.
Definitely visit Quebec's Joe Beef, which is Joe Rogan's favourite restaurant in the world... perhaps after watching Anthony Bourdain's trip there (if you wish to try elk, horse, wild boar, moose...).
And if you come to Montreal, I will be there to tell you to avoid Schwartz's smoked meat and Banquise's poutine, there are way way way better alternatives for both despite what you may read
I humbly offer to buy Tyler a beer (or many) in the event he comes to Toronto.
Montreal is one of my favourite cities in the world. Fabulous place.
Except right now with the -45C windchill LOL 🥶 I personally think the best province to live in Canada would be BC, but Québec would rank no 2 for me (I'm French-Canadianb with my main residence in Lévis, QC across the ferry from Québec City) and my secondary home in Vancouver. 🇨🇦 You can see whales in the estuary of the St Lawrence near Tadoussac
Hey Tyler! Thank you for your interest in Québec! We always appreciate when people take time to learn about us 🤗
If I can correct two small prononciation hiccups. You did pin point them in the video saying you weren’t sure you were saying them right. Québec: pronounced "kay-bec" not qwebec, and poutine: pronounced "poo-tsin" not poo-teen 😅
Loved the video!
kay-bec is the French pronunciation, qwee-bec is the English.
@@TomHuston43 General rule of thumb when visiting a place, pronounce it the same way the locals do. It shows respect.
Well the locals in Quebec includes English speakers, the ones who actually built Quebec! I always promote our English language in Montreal by boycotting the french language because of the racist bill 96 bill 101. Always demand service in English!@@ryeojin
Québec is much bigger then just Québec city, Montréal and Mont-Tremblant.
You're right, it's a huge province and each part is as beautiful as the others
I’ve still never been to Quebec City, and it’s driving me crazy! I want to go so bad. Just heard about it all my life! Thx Tyler. 😊
I was born and raised here in Québec from an american father (now deceased) and my mom in Québec conceived in the US during the Vietnam war but my parents separated .... My dad did not speak french at all and his family still does not, my mom's english is not great and most of her family does not speak english leaving it up to me to adapt which I did but one thing is for sure americans and Québec people are closer than one may think (lol!) AND love and friendship has no langage so don't let language stop you from coming for a visit and join the fun and we'll even teach you how we swear too!
The thing that will stop visitors coming to Quebec is thi racust toxic discriminatory language laws, the language police, racist culture of french quebecers. Boycott Quebec. Abolish bill 101 bill 96 bill 21 bill C-13!
Spent two weeks in Quebec City years ago. This is the only city I have been to where there was an archaeological dig in the middle of the city. So much history, it was amazing. I absolutely loved it. I found out why the roofs of houses were red, why the entrances of the houses were so high and so many steps to enter. I would go back in a heartbeat.
What’s nice about, being from Montreal and a son of immigrants, makes a lot of us speaking a minimum of three languages, I speak Portuguese French and English. And the majority of my friends are trilingual
Ditto. French, English, and Italian.
That's right! Spanish, French, English here.
In Quebec they do not speak French. They speak joual
Born and raised in Québec, in a very French-speaking region. I speak French, English, Spanish, I read Portuguese and am learning basic Japanese.
Beautiful marine park at tadoussac. So gorgeous.
16:36 This is maple taffy, in French "tire d'érable". It's heated maple syrup poured on snow and rolled around a popsicle stick to eat 🍁
The official language of Québec is French. I grew up in B.C. and moved to Québec in my early 20's. I have lived in Montréal for a long time now and wouldn't live anywhere else in the country. Et oui, il y en a beaucoup qui sont bilingues ici. In Québec, St-Jean Baptiste Day is now commonly referred to as "La fête nationale" or the National Holiday.
Quite jealous! I've been to Montreal twice and loved it so much that I said I would move there when my kids were grown up. Now I have grandchildren and aging parents, so it turns out I'm not going anywhere. I will be back for a good long visit soon though. Je ne suis pas bilingue, mais ce n'est-ce pas necessaire la-bas. And I know how to order food in French, so I'll be fine. =)
@@Catsjamify I’d say if you look for a job, they would probably require you know French. 😊
@@lucielariviere489 they would probably ask you to be able at french and english
@@lucielariviere489 I know - I lived near Chicoutimi as a teen, but have been in Alberta since - it's there, but super rusty!
@@Catsjamify juste un peu de pratique alors! 😉🥰
Thanks for your great videos. It’s hilarious to see our differences through your eyes. An American’s perspective of our Canadian perspective.
As a proud Canadian…
Hands down, the best video to explain Canadian-American relationship, is Tom Brokaw’s 2010 Vancouver Olympics “Tom Brokaw Explains Canada To Americans”.
As a proud Quebecer…
I highly recommend “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown | Quebec & Canada” to experience Quebec’s particular culinary uniqueness. Actually… This episode is about so much more than food. History, politics, food, skidoos, ice fishing, food, two solitudes (english/french history), hockey, food. Ok… it’s a lot about food….
😉👍...Québec m'a ville la plus belle à mon humble avis...Québec c'est en français...
Merci pour ces beaux commentaires pour notre province.
Les Américains sont beaucoup plus respectueux envers le Québec que ce que je vois de la part du ROC
Quebec is a beautiful province! This is where I like to vacation. Specifically in Mont Tremblant! I live in Ontario.
Quebec is at the top of my bucket list of places to visit !! I'm a prairie guy, born and raised, but Quebec has that " Nation within a Nation" thing going on, that whole different and special vibe, that I just gotta check out !!
I'm sure you would have a blast! Unfortunately, it sometimes feels like Anglophones from other provinces think that they'll be stuck in a place where almost no one will understand them or that Quebeckers are angry closed up in their culture people. I don't get it... I grew up across the river from Ottawa, I've spent almost my whole life with both languages and both cultures. One of my friends was dating an Ontarian from Brampton, she had been living in Ottawa for 5 years, before she finally realized that if she crossed over in Gatineau, she would easilly find someone bilingual to help her if she got lost somewhere in the city (kinda cute). She basically avoided going into Quebec without him for fear of not having someone who would understand her...
The more up north you go, though, it might be more difficult to find English speaking people... But they find bilingual people in touristy places to help out visitors.
@@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods Thanks !! I've been trying to pick up some basic French, I mean real basic, just so I can say I tried !! I've heard that that will get me most places in bigger centers. I figure if I show a willingness to learn, and listen closely, I'll probably do ok. The accent though, I can't do that really well.
@@echobeefpv8530 If you got to Gatineau, Montreal, or in between you'll be fine. Quebec city also gets a bunch of tourists so I'm sure they have some people speaking English somewhere... Also, since everything on the Web now is done in English, the younger generation are more fluent in English.
@@echobeefpv8530 Sherbrooke also has many English speaking residents (and other surrounding cities in Estrie (close to the Vermont border).
@@CatherineBriseboisCatWoodsDefinitely on my list. I figure Canada is big enough and beautiful enough, I can spend my whole life in my country, just seeing it. I've lived in Vancouver, visited as far as Ottawa many years ago, now it's my time for the east of Canada. Cheers from Winnipeg ( -40C this AM, Winterpeg !! )
I am having a blast watching you trying to find Mont Tremblant and Saguenay in the Ungava Bay region. FYI Québec = Kay-Beck Poutine= put-sin (without too much emphasis on the "s" of sin)
I wouldn't live anywhere else, except maybe Norway and Iceland.
Keep in mind, almost all of Canada's population lives near the US border. Quebec specifically has most of its population near the St-Lawrence River.
Mont-Tremblant is located in the Laurentians mountain range, which is a very hilly region, with old eroded mountains. Lots of nature to experience in these mountains, and great for skiing in winter. I was born and grew up in the Laurentides administrative region, which contains part of the Laurentians, so I am quite familiar with them. In autumn, they are absolutely breathtaking, with all the trees becoming extremely colorful.
Quebec is pronounced "kebec" in french, in english its Quebec. Either are generally acceptable. Same as poutine and poutin. No one really cares about the pronunciation.
Hope everyone is staying safe and taking care.
The region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean is really great! Beautiful views, hicking, whales, great people, you can sleep with wolfs (yes, it is a thing), etc.
The Montmorency Falls are just a few minutes away from Old Québec. Less than 10 miles. In Montreal, the Biosphere was the US pavillion during Expo 67.
Hi Tyler ~ The St. Lawrence River/Seaway is channeled from the Atlantic Ocean until it meets the Great Lakes - which runs latitudinal along Quebec. Hence, the reason you have whales swimming in the St. Lawrence.
Thought you might want to know that Quebec is officially a FRENCH speaking province. However, depending upon where you are visiting in the province (Montreal vs. a very small isolated town) - there are bilingual speakers most everywhere these days. This is evident in our province of New Brunswick, where BOTH English and French are the official languages. That being said, there’s a huge GERMAN population here and a mix of other cultures, like the rest of Canada - it’s unique to each province - yet very similar.
Also, as an Anglophone (English Speaker), believe me when I say that French is not difficult to learn. Please don’t let this discourage you from visiting! You will pick up enough to get you through. And as I mentioned before - most places have bilingual speakers.
The falls you saw is actually were a famous battle between the English and the French took place for the fort (now Quebec City). By controlling the St. Lawrence - it would give the winning navy/army a massive advantage to the rest of Canada from the East. If you go back to when Cartier first landed - the big fight between the French and English was over FURS - specifically BEAVER pelts. That being said, both countries shipped all kinds of furs and goods across the Atlantic - from Cod fish to furs, and everything in between. This gave way to the famous Hudsons Bay Company (HBC).
Finally, the reason there are so many historical buildings in the “Eastern” provinces is due to the Vikings - followed by the Spanish and Portuguese, French, Irish, English, Scottish arriving on the shores of those provinces and settling there. All the towns/cities in Newfoundland are derivatives of Portuguese and Spanish origin.
The Spanish did reach British Columbia, but didn’t have the lasting impact it had on the East Coast.
Hopefully that helps clarify some of your questions.
Cheers🇨🇦☺🇺🇸
I am Canadian and learned somethings from your post.
@@enzopalumbo2164 Hi Enzo ~ Great to hear! Always wonderful to hear from a fellow Canuck!🇨🇦😉🇨🇦

It's missing so much in that video. You want to see breathtaking scenery, you have to visit Gaspésie (Gaspé peninsula). With the Forillon National park, The Gaspésie national park, the Rocher-Percé (geoparc of Unesco), The Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse (tallest lighthouse in Canada), Haldimand Beach, Peninsula Fort, etc.
You do pretty good with the French words
Quebec - Q uh bek
Poutine - poo - tin (and drag the t sound)
They were eating maple taffy presumably made in snow
I was waiting for this one ❤⚜️🍁
One of the best kept secrets of Montreal is the Pointe-a-Callieres museum. It is the archaeological history of Montreal in which you actually physically descend to pre-colonial times and work your way up to current day. It's mind-blowing. Quebec city is for eating. Some of the best restaurants in Canada. Also it's the only walled city in North America. So much history. So much to do.
Un must j'adore y aller
The whole province have amazing restaurants. In rural areas, I am soooo impressed by the improvement of quality of their food over the last 15 years. I remember going back in Lac-St-Jean and having to dine at places where they served you condensed soup. Now there are lots of restaurants that uses local ingredients to creat marvelous dishes. And lots of products by local artisans like beer and cheeses. I am so impressed. You can find a top quality place in almost every regions
An other interesting museum/exhibit is le village québécois d'antan (the Québec town of before) in Drummondville (in between montreal and quebec and only about 45 minutes away from montreal).
It's a full village recreating a town from the 18 hundreds where employees are in full atire and acting as if they lived there
Love that museum. My favorite.
The special food you get served nowadays in rural area is called "boreal cuisine". As you mentioned, it uses a lot of local ingredients, mix of First Nation, American and European Cuisine.
The only officially bilingual province is New Brunswick. Personally, I love languages and find Canada's territories far more interesting linguistically. Officially, the territories have upwards of 10-13 official languages.
Totally agree Rocky - I enjoyed growing up in the NWT!
Cheers🇨🇦
That's really cool.
We’re the only official French although we’re classified as allophones. No mother tongue, basically. For myself, I speak Laurentian French, which is an Algonquian dialect.😊
Quebec is probably the best provinces to visit in Canada. Cultures from all over the world live there in harmony with each other, and offer a diversity of fine foods and arts along with the antiquity of buildings, roads, bridges in old Montreal and old Quebec CIty, with the cobal stone streets, horse drawn carriages and sidewalk cafés. A must see for anyone planning a visit to Canada.
Horse drawn carriages have been illegal for a few years now.
@@NaggyPat24 Now that is sad, it was a tourist magnet the last time I was there, thanks for the heads up.
@@NaggyPat24 Not in Quebec city. But there was just one left last year so who knows if there's gonna be one this year.
Mr Boudreault one of the two remaining coachmen said last July to a journalist of Le Soleil (Québec city newspaper) that he was not worried about the future of his job, so let's assume he will be there again in 2023 in front of Château Frontenac.
@@cgrandrewYes, let's hope he keeps it alive and encourage others to get back into creating a nostalgic place where you see the proud culture that helped shape a nation, Canada.
It's so refreshing to see someone appreciating Quebec, French language and bilingualism instead of bashing us or saying "English please!" 💜I have a bilingual channel and i no longer apologize for making videos in French (i subtitle all of them). ❤
Merci! Thank you! Être capable de parler dans plus qu'une langue est vraiment tout un atoût!
I never did understand the Quebec/ French bashing ; I was always more interested in the cool / different stuff. People from Quebec just seem more able to enjoy their life different from the rest of Canada. I'm going to visit, planning for late summer.
@@echobeefpv8530 À l'automne, à Montréal, le Mont-Royal est magnifique! Tout comme le parc Lafontaine. Et en effet, les Québécois n'ont pas du tout la même mentalité que le ROC. Ce sont nos racines latines qui parlent! Je travaille avec des personnes de Toronto et elles adorent quand elles peuvent venir à Montréal parce que nous sommes tellement plus relax. Je vous souhaite une belle visite de notre province. La nature est tellement diverse!
@@sygendron Working hard to translate this, as I don't speak or write French, yet ! Merci !
@@echobeefpv8530 OMG! I'm so sorry! I was just saying that in Montréal, fall colours are amazing on the Mont-Royal. And yes, we are different than the ROC. It's our Latin blood that rebels! I wish you a great stay in our province. Nature is fantastic and diverse.
@tyler Canada is more Québécois than Quebec is Canadian. You could make a great video about it. Its something that the ROC (Rest Of Canada) has, somehow, being willing to ignore.
Ex. Poutine: ignored and made ridicule for years. Now is a Canadian dish. Provenance of the national hymn, progressive laws most start in Quebec and roll over the ROC, the name Canadian for most of its history was used to designate FRENCH canadians, the word Canada was first used to designate present day Quebec, etc
Um, that's not true. Canada is less Quebecois across the nation. Quebec is one Province. Majority of Canadians are English speaking and quite removed from French concepts and Quebec.
Although Quebec is great, your statement didn't come out right.
Other than language, ROC don't have a proper culture. It is borrowing from Quebec and US. And for its politics, just look all past PM who are from Quebec who have lived in the province. I'll give you a freebie. Currently, only Quebec is fighting for removing religious influence in politics. Shortly, the ROC will follow.
@@coolwater55 But lots of progressive movements started in Québec. The daycare program. The Charter of rights (first one was the 1976 Québec one, which heavily influenced the 1982 federal one). Also the SAAQ collective insurance for road accidents, which is currently being studied by other provinces. And another progressive law that has not yet influenced the ROC: women in Québec keep their last name in marriage.
You sound very young.
@@coolwater55 I agree with what hevo said but I would phrase it otherwise, I would say that despite being a minority, french Canadiens had a tremendous impact on what Canada is and it's institution. Talking about poutine, national anthem, progressive laws and us being called Canadian while the english population were still British loyalists. And we havent been influenced by english Canada as much.
enough, now let's talk real : when are you coming?
Too bad they didn't show Gatineau Park, gorgeous place to visit/hike. That could be my bias, as I went on school trips every year when I was a kid so it has some nostalgia!
if you come to Québec you need to do some "arbre en arbre". in short: it's an aerial parcour from one tree to the other (that's where the name is from) and it use suspended log as steps, zip line, ladder and many more. for the more extreme on the saint-Laurent, there is some Via-ferrata that is, in simple, exrteme rock climbing and parcour
Bannock is an aboriginal bread. You pour the batter on a tree branch and cook it over an open fire. I loved it. We learned how to make it when I was in elementary school. I believe Grade Five.
In fact, bannock is Scottish.
@@Xerxes2005 I stand corrected, it makes sense Scottish settlers were one of the largest founding peoples of Canada. I also am somewhat embarrassed as I am of Scottish heritage on my dad’s side, our clan is located around Inverness. My uncle was a member of the Robbie Burns society…..shame on me.
@@cheryla7480 Think of it as a trade-off. European explorers introduced bannock to the First Nations, and First Nations introduced pemmican to the Europeans.
Quebec is both a province and a city.
Mount T is the most fun ever whatever season. In the winter the skiing is exceptional and people come from around the world, to ski and see all the nature. The night life is also fantastic both seasons.
Tyler I have to tell you I am watching another one of your videos on Canadian Humour. You are watching Just For Laughs. It is a QUEBEC festival
Bannique (translated in English to bannock) is a traditional bread made over the fire, sometimes by burying it in warm sand, made by the Indigenous.
@Tyler Bucket. Take the time to view some if the videos of the Montreal's Underground City. You will be amazed and impressed. The one by ActionKid is pretty good.
A lot of anglo Canadian don't even want to think about visiting Québec because they think they'll be treated poorly if they don't speak French. It's not the case at all. We're not in the 70s anymore. Those who visit can attest to the very warm and helpful reception they got.
Vrai si la personne fait un effort pour dire quelques mots de français...
@@annicka1775 It's always nice when people make an effort of saying a few words in the local language. But they don't even need to try to speak a few French words, people are just happy to help, practice and show off their English. It's a tourist city after all.
@@basseon C'est davantage une question de respect. Si je vais en Allemagne, je veux savoir dire en allemand 'bonjour', 'au revoir', 'merci', 's'il-vous-plaît', etc. Juste par respect pour le peuple qui me reçoit.
@@annicka1775 Tout à fait d'accord mais ce n'est pas là le sujet. J'ai dit qu'ils seraient bien traités même s'il ne parlent pas français et vous dites le contraire. Je ne suis pas d'accord et ce n'est pas ce que j'ai observé.
@@basseon honestly, if the person makes no effort to say a single word in French to me, even a 'bonjour' and who looks at me condescendingly when I look up my words in English. A person who repeats the same words that I don't understand instead of making an effort to help me understand them... Well my polite and caring side disappears pretty quickly haha
One of the greatest thing in Quebec is the infinity of beautiful lake. At Pohenemagook, it has a wapeout, a beach, so many water activities, etc.
Them waterfalls, they are like 20-30 minutes from Quebec city, you can get wet there, but in winter, you can do Ice Climbing on them !
Mt. Tremblant is a world renowned ski resort set in the Laurentian Mountains. It is a small municipality but the main attractions are the ski slopes and resort. It is northwest of Montreal and is popular for the winter sports. It is a year round resort area that also offers golf courses, canoeing, hiking etc in summer months.
Yeah it is a great ski hill, been a few times in my youth.
And the National park is a must CTEL also
@@anniecharbonneau6657 Yes, you’re right. Forgot to mention the National Park.👍
The ziplining in summer is awesome in Mount Tremblant
@@anniecharbonneau6657 It is a provincial park, not a national park. It is managed by the racist quebec gov't. If it truly was a "National Park" it would be managed by the inclusuve bilingual federal gov't.
You are so entertaining. Just watching your expressions made me subscribe; and I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada 🇨🇦 and I must say, I’m learning a lot about my Country. In school we learned more about the US than Canada. Thanks for your awesome videos. I watch them all.
Apparently Quebec is a "nation" so it is not part of your country anymore. I don't know why we keep sending that nation billions in equalization payments and education and health transfers every year. They keep prosecuting rheir english speaking minority with more discriminatory laws. Boycott Quebec. I can't wait to flee this province, just like all four of Brian Mulroney's children have.
I don't know if it's the same for every canadian lmao, but it's not rare for people to rent cabins in the woods, suspended or not, for a day or two or a full week. There are lots of them for rentals and a lot of people have wood shacks of their own for a quick escape from reality. It's beautiful, especially in the winter. Most of them don't have a lot : a bed, a woodstove and a toilet. All you need to feel like you're alone in the world for a short moment. It's amazing. If you ever come to canada (especially Quebec), you have to try it! Lots of them are sold out for most of the year though, because it's so popular.
Amazing video!
Quebec has the most diverse population and culture of all Canada. It is where the country was born. A lot of people from the other provinces are envious and have a feeling of inferiority, making them resent Québécois. There's a rivality that stems from that. Don't get me wrong, most people are fine with Québec but there's a handful of small minded people that can't stand the french speaking population.
As someone who has lived all around the country, Québec is the most unique and special of all places.
As a guy from the prairies, I can first hand say I've seen this prejudice against Quebec, and I don't understand. I have no feeling of inferiority, we are all equal, but I do have a strong urge to visit, see and feel Quebec. So many wonderful places, and the birthplace of Canada, so much history. My only drawback is my lack of French language. But I'm slowly ( slowly) at least learning the very basics.
Hi Tyler, I'm from Montréal Québec, they didnt mention that in the summer we great festivals all summer long, one of the greatest Jazz festivals, just for laugh festivals, film, festivals food festival, and many more. it's all very well organized with free concertson the many stages outside and some indoors that we need to pay, we have the worlds best bagels, had a New Yorker tell me that he can eat a whole bag with nothing on them and that he never did that at home, you must try our famous smoked meat sandwich at Schwarts. the night life in Montreal is top notch and drinking age is 18. In the winter or summer the downtwn underground for shopping it streches for 20 miles and covers 4 million square meters (one and a half square miles).
They showed only the outside of the Basilique Notre-Dame, the inside is what you need to see, in Québec city the montmorency falls are 10-15 minutes from downtown Québec city, and the poutine originated from Drummonville a city in the center of Québec, I'm born Billingual, my suggestion to you is to visite the province of Québec n your first visit to Canada, in Montréal, approx 80% on the people can speak French and English or at least can have a conversation. outside of the city is more french, but you will often find someone to translate for you.
Ya, I'm from Montreal too. Everything you mentioned is fake and fabricated to give the impression to tourists that this racist welfare province of quebec is "happening". It isn't. Quebec is surviving thanks to wealthy english canada's welfare cheques to quebec. Boycott quebec until human rights for anglophones have been restored and all prosecution/persecution of us englsih speakers is stopped and we receive financial compensation and an apology from the quebec premier!
Hi Tyler, I have lived in Québec City, Montréal, and I now live in Mont-Tremblant (which means ''shaky mountain''). It is a truly stunning place, so much nature and activities, deer and wild turkeys walking around town. It's just an hour an a half north of Montréal, so if you ever come to Canada, hit me up, I'll show you around. Also, here's a few language tips: Québec: ''kay-beck''; Québécois: ''kay-bay-kwa''; poutine: ''put-sin'', not ''poo-teen''.
Maybe easier to say ''put-in''. Yay, phonetic speaking!!! 😀
Yes Quebecois means racist militant of pure white french stock only. I denounce the "Quebecois" fuck bill 101 bill 96 bill21 bill C-13! You are simply a French-Canadian living in the province of Quebec.
@@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods no, you need the "s" after the "t"
The Biosphere is a remnant of Expo 67. At Universal expositions, held every year in a different city around the world every country would build a pavillion and share their culture, food, history etc. The sphere was the United States pavillion. There is a similar one in Vancouver from Expo 86, which became the Science Center.
Not to worry about the french, most Quebecois knows at least basic english to understand you. Many, like me, commonly speak both languages. Mostly people who work in public and tourist places do speak english that would be able to have a chat or help you around. Don't worry Québécois are quite nice even if the language is different. :) Have fun visiting.
Perhaps mentioned but Tremblant is a major ski resort in the area. Equidistant from Montreal and Ottawa so those of us that live on the Quebec border can enjoy as well.
Gatineau, Montreal and Quebec all have excellent white water rafting, and there is another world class zipline resort in Fort Coulonge worth checking out too if you're heading westward from Ottawa/Gatineau
I've been living in Saguenay (The place where you can see whales) for almost 10 years. I'm a professional filmmaker, I could make you a video about the real north, it's completely wild here! Gonna be -42 in 2 days.🥶
I dream to visit Saguenay one day (I'm from Quebec City). Peux-tu nous partager ton vidéo quand il sera prêt ? :)
@@Isalarson Short videos of Lac St-Jean in winter on my channel, video 42-47-51.
whale watching happens in the st-lawrence river, near the saguenay river. and towards the ocean.
The dome was a part of Expo 67. They kept it to make the museum. Try to find videos of that celebration of Canada's birthday.
It was actually the USA pavillon :D It was all covered at one point, but a fire destroyed the outer layer leaving behind this cool shape
Hi. Yes it was. I'm glad they were able to keep it. I just knew it was part of the Expo. 1967 was a long time ago lol. I miss home though. Going back this summer after almost 5 years.
Montmorency Falls is 10 minutes by car from Québec City, and you can even take the city bus there. I'm going to shoot a video there soon to show what it looks like in winter. Now, that's very different from summer, and pretty impressive.
They just touched the surface. The video could have been a lot longer to cover most of the things to.
While waiting for the ferry to cross the St Lawrence between St. Siméon and Rivière - de- Loup, whales appeared close to the dock. So fun to see! J'adore le Québec! C'est une si belle province! I had the pleasure of living for a year in Quebec City as an French immersion student at Laval University. A life- changing experience! The day we toured Île d'Orléans, we included the impressive Montmorency Falls. You can zipline over the falls, from one side to the other.
Interesting that you asked if Montreal was living in the year 3000 because there is actually a science fiction novel written by Suzanne Martel (published in 1964) that is set in (or under Montréal) in the year 3000. It's called Surréal 3000. There are some people in Montréal who never go above ground. They can do everything underground: go to work, shop, groceries, live...
Thx again to share that video on m'y Province.
You're did perfectly.I'm living close to Américain border.
Check for Stanstead Québec.
Something realy spécial for Both Country.
Best way to say Québec...think about Kébec it Will help you👍👍
The French in Quebec are different from the French in France, mainly because they have a different cultural evolution. The French colonized Quebec in the early 1500's and in the 1750's Quebec was conquered by the British, who turned them from a Serfdom, with Lords, etc. to full, land-owning British citizens. Because they were no longer connected to France their language and culture evolved in isolation. Also, being pioneers in the New World and interacting with virgin wilderness as well as interacting with the Natives made a difference. I married a French Canadian, and some of his ancestors married Native women, hundreds of years ago in the early colony before France sent women to the colony. The result that many Quebecois look different than the French from France. They are actually very good-looking and good-natured people.
Thank you 👍🏼 😊
Tyler the province of Quebec is BIG.Canada's largest with the 2nd largest population (after Ontario). It's almost 2 1/4 times the size of Texas!! And Quebec City is one of the oldest cities(founded by Europeans 1608) in North America.
As I was no very kind on my last comment here, I have to commend you for the effort. That nice couple made an OK tourist video. So keep up your good work.
Old Quebec is cooler than Old Montreal to be honest. Only went there once though, mid 90s.
Tyler..you really have to do a video about Quebec and French Canadians in general. There's another part of Canada you might wanna look into called Acadia. ..Acadians are French Canadians but not from Quebec. (Just thought Id confuse you a bit more haha).
Maple toffee is delicious you can usually have it in sugar shacks between March and April. It’s awesome. Also i recommend experiencing a Montreal Canadiens Hockey Game at the Bell Center in Montreal best ambiance in hockey. There’s a lot more to do in Quebec. The Quebec Winter Festival in Quebec city is awesome you can sleep in an ice castle hotel or do dog sleigh riding etc. I recommend also Percé in Gaspésie where they have the Rocher Percé (Pierced Rock)
You gotta dig into Montreal specifically. They really glanced over it in this video.
He needs to watch Discover Montreal videos , then he would really get a good feel of our great city !
You got it right Tyler, we spell it Pu t-in (Poutine) and its K bek (Quebec). Since you are now a master of the province, come and give us a visit. I'm from Quebec city :P
I love how you describe the zipline...100 kilometers an hour! Good job Tyler! We're converting u to metric..one video at a time! Hahaha!
About time, Quebec city is a pieces of Europe in America. Montmorency waterfall is aprox. 10-15 min from downtown. Mont Tremblant is a Resort about 1 1/2 hour north of Montreal.
Whale watching is done in the St-Lawrence river from Quebec city and downstream (tides dont go inland farther than Quebec city); Quebec city is the oldest (european) city in all of north america so yeah historical sightseeing is a thing; June 24 is like 4th of July to Quebec and french canadians; Mont Tremblant is actually one of the biggest ski resort in Quebec.
The French Acadians celebrate their own National Day highighting their community's culture and history on August 15th. Their American cousins, the Cajuns, also celebrate this day in tandum with their Créole festival.
The big Sphere that we see at the Museum is actually, United States of America Pavilion - designed by Buckminster Fuller, the pavilion was the third most popular, with over 9 million visits in 1967 at Expo 67 in Montréal.
Whenever they make Québec video they always forget about the Gaspésie on the est Side you should Google the Rocher Percé ( Percy rock ) and the rivière émeraude ( Emerald River ) some of the best view Along the Drive on the 132 that is 1612 km or 1001 miles you see beautiful sceneries
Kay-beck. 👍
If you go visit the province for a long discovery & adventure trip, I would suggest this ride (and allow 2-3 days in each cities) : north shore of St-Lawrence River first, from Montréal to Québec, than to La Malbaie, Tadoussac (where the wales are) , Baie-Comeau, than take a ferry to the south shore, driving around the Gaspesian peninsula, coming back by the south shore through Rimouski (Parc du Bic is a treasure, best sunsets!), Rivière-du-Loup, Lévis, going off a little from the south shore and go to Estrie region and come back to take your flight back in Montreal.
And yes, at the end, they're licking "tire d'érable" which is kind of basically maple sirup boiled to a thicker constistency, poured on the snow with a wood stick, a little roll and there you go! It's reaaaaally good!
The most beautiful place to live in the world!!
I'm surprised they didn't stop by the Quebec Citadel. Quebec City was by far the most fortified city in all of North America from pretty much the moment it was settled by Europeans through present day. Assaulting Quebec was extremely difficult, and that's why you Americans couldn't conquer Canada when you declared independence.
A lot of my smart friends took French immersion where their entire elementary school was taught in French.
I took French grade 8-12 and it was mandatory in grade 8. That was 42 years ago, but I still remember the dialogues they made us memorize? Anyone else from BC remember them?
Vit Pierre to jejeuner est pret. Ou est mes chaucettes? Din les tiroir avec test mouchoir.
Excuse my spelling lol.
🤣Vite Pierre ton déjeuner est prêt. Où sont mes chaussettes? Dans le tiroir avec tes mouchoirs. 😉 Still good enough ( especially 42 years later) to be understood.
☺This is the cutest memory of a french lesson I've ever seen. ❤Good for you Steve Vee.
lol the one with the girl lusting for the long blonde hair or l'haricot l'haricot tous la majge l'haricot about the guy that farted because he ate beans?
It is like an ear worm -four decades later still stuck in my head.
i knew I was spelling wrong
@@stevevee8675 At least, you're trying and we can understand what you're saying. Alors, automatic corrector is not helping when we write another language that it's programmed for.
Quebec City was one of the original French settlements and was founded in 1608 by Samuel de champlain
There is so much more to see in Québec (Kbec).
Come up to say « Bonjour » you’ll find good welcoming people (mostly)
Don’t be afraid of trying things.
Mont-Tremblant native here 😊 We are a small ski town of about 10 000 peoples but (as you can see) we have fun activities to do all year round too.
Jacque Cartier bridge is normally illuminate with colour depending on the mood of montreal city. Passing from green , blue and purple....next to it down the st-lawrence you have the Samuel-de-Champlain bridge which is illuminate also rainbow colored
I think you should do a vlog of a vacation to Canada. Put your new education to the test.
What ilove in Quebec City : huge international summer music festival, Baie de Beauport where you can do many watersports like windsurf, kitesurf, paddleboard, sailing, laying at the beach with music bands, volleyball etc... , Ski resorts... It is a city with nature around.
Vive le Québec, vive le Québec libre!
They were licking mapple taffee... toffee? Not sure of the english word ahah
You get it by boiling the syrup, but not to the point of making it into candy
Yayyy he saw Quebec!
Québécois don’t celebrate Canada daythey celebrate saint Jean Baptist week lol
