It’s fair to say that Quebecers sink into the flowers of the carpet when it comes to expressing themselves.
Once we eliminated the use of the traditional way, familiarity became imposed and almost obligatory in more and more circles of society. “Who is this for?”, many Quebecers will say of someone who insists on addressing their interlocutors as you. So we’re in a society where familiarity gives way to rudeness.

Well-behaved children do not address their parents as classmates, young people must show a minimum of respect and decency to their elders, and in the world of work, where there is still some form of hierarchy, the subordinate does not use intimacy with his superior unless he is will be prompted to do so.

It runs without much difficulty and is likely to cause unbearable inconveniences for many viewers. They must have zapped by pinching their noses.
No one seems to object to this loud, self-satisfied star’s new comedic trend. ” Help ! should call our great comedians Yvon Deschamps, Daniel Lemire and Lise Dion.
With humor no longer knowing borders, we shouldn’t be surprised that Quebec’s cultural decay is set to accelerate dangerously in the years to come.
