Tout le monde en parle (#1)
“Tout le monde en parle” (Everyone is talking about it) is Québec’s most watched weekly television program (with millions of viewers per episode). The viewer numbers are so large, that it actually is not an exaggeration to say the streets of Québec and Francophone Canada are quiet on Sunday evenings because everyone is inside watching the program.
The show regularly interviews headline news makers, and often in a controversial manner. The irony is because the interviews are so audacious, Tout le monde en parle itself regularly becomes Québec’s headline news story the day after it airs. There has been nothing quite like it in Canadian or Québec history (and possibly nothing like it in the history of North American television).
It is a long-running TV interview show (since 2004), filmed in front of a live-audience, broadcast once a week (two hours every Sunday evening, from 8pm to 10pm) on Radio-Canada. It is broadcast across Canada – thus regardless where you are in the country, you will be able to watch it. It is not broadcast during the summer. It was created by household-name Guy A. Lepage (one of Quebec’s best known actors, comedians, and interviewers).
It takes the format of Guy, and his sidekick Danny Turcot, interviewing well-known personalities from cultural, media, news, or political spheres — sitting at a table opposite to the hosts. Topics are most always on current events related to those being invited. Several invitees will often appear in one show, sitting side-by-side. Often the invitees will have opposing points of views. Because of this configuration, sparks can sometimes fly, and unexpected debates can ensue, especially if the opposing views of the invitees are of an emotional nature (think politics, or ethical issues).
The program often has heavy societal, social, and political overtones — often shrouding subjects in a serious overtone. The host has entrenched political views, and his questions can become very pointed, critical and less-than-subtle (aimed at both friends and foes alike). However, regardless of the host’s own political or social views (which do come through on the show – there is no doubt about it) Guy A. Lepage plays it cool, adds a lot of humour, and it makes for a great entertainment factor.
The program also provides the audience with a rare chance to see celebrities, politicians and other newsmakers in either a relaxed setting, or under the heat (questions and criticism of the invitees can become very unbalancing — which is precisely one of the reasons the show is so popular). For this reason, it’s one of the highest rated, and best known television shows in Quebec — hence “Everyone is talking about it”.
The most famous names in society appear on the program, but even if someone is not so well known, they will be a household name after appearing on the show (in the hours running up to the show’s airing, Lepage has even been known to tell lesser known guests to get ready to become a household name and recognized everywhere as soon as the show goes to air).
Because of popularity of the interviewees, this is one of those shows which is a sure-fire fast-track to familiarize oneself with popular topics and people being currently discussed in Quebec society during at the office water-cooler, among friends, or in the news.
For Anglophone Canadians, it is also a great way to improve your level of French (you’ll find guests speak with a mix of styles of French, be it standard québécois, local accents, and sometimes joual).

Qu’est ce qui est arrivé durant les quelques années suivant l’arrivée des Britanniques au Québec? (#379)
Il y a plusieurs billets, je vous ai offert une vidéo d’un discours qu’a tenu Jason Kenny lorsqu’il était ministre fédéral Conservateur de Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada : Funny what gets dragged from the attic when politics get involved.
C’est une vidéo qui a fait jaser au Québec. Dans cette vidéo, il parlait de sa manière de voir le rôle qu’a joué les Britanniques et le multiculturalisme dans le contexte du transfert de la Nouvelle-France.
La vidéo a tant fait jaser que Rad-Can sentait le besoin de mettre les choses au clair il y a un couple de jours.
Comme j’ai souligné dans le billet ci-dessus, je ne suis pas d’accord avec la caractérisation que nous a présenté Kenny sur les origines des politiques du multiculturalisme moderne du Canada.
Toutefois, ceci étant dit, j’ai mentionné que l’approche Britannique quand-même se basait sur une idéologie assez laissez-faire (même malléable et ductile) quant à leur système de gouvernance au cours du siècle suivant le transfert du pouvoir (du moins dans le contexte de l’époque, et surtout comparé aux autres systèmes ailleurs au monde).
J’ai mentionné que cette approche elle-même a pu poser les fondements sur lesquels on a pu bâtir un bon nombre de projets de société… des legs dont on ressent toujours, et dont on ne devrait pas considérer sous un angle négatif.
C’est une époque dont on ne parle très peu, et qui est très mal comprise.
Nous sommes tous le produit de notre passé. Et l’ère des britanniques fait autant partie de notre passé (et de notre identité collective) que l’époque coloniale française, ainsi que tout le kit qui nous est arrivé au vingtième siècle jusqu’au présent – tant au niveau de la société que personnel.
Le voici le récit de Rad-Canada. Je le trouve assez intéressant.

The party leaders’ final major interviews before the election (#373)
You know the election is (finally) winding down when you see the leaders start to wind down. They just gave their last major interviews to one of Québec’s most popular television programs.
Tout le monde en parle (TLMEP = “Everyone is talking about it”) often jockies for the 1st spot place in Canadian television ratings along with Québec’s other top rated show, La Voix.
I have spoken many times before about TLMEP. In fact, TLMEP was the subject of my very first blog post.
It is a left of left (yup, that’s left), very sovereignist friendly interview program which has interviewed thousands and thousands of Québec’s who’s who (and to a certain extent, others from elsewhere in Canada who are able to muddle through in French).
Despite being well-known as being well-entrenched politically, people of all political strips love this show because we get to see how politicians fare under intense circumstances (especially when they are out of their element… it ain’t no Peter Mansbridge interview!!).
Case in point: The show does not really align with my own political views, but nonetheless, I like it as much as everyone else!
It is also a very pop-culture friendly show, which allows us to see and hear the inside stories behind some of the most famous faces in Québec, French Canada, and the Francophone world.
It airs every Sunday night on Radio-Canada, for two hours per episode, and has been on the air for over 20 years.
Despite the show’s the far left and sovereignist leanings, they’ve toned down the leftness over the years. You can see the host and his sidekick gritting their teeth as they forceably tone it down – likely because of Radio-Canada management directives to tone it down.
This latter link is for a post I previously wrote… It’s talks about quite an unbelievable series of events involving Radio-Canada which likely led to TLMEP having to tone itself down. It is worth a read if you have not read it before (but grab a drink before you do… you’ll likely need it when you read what is in that post).
With average show ratings hovering between 1.5 million to over 2 million views, TLMEP has made the careers of numerous invitees, and it has broken the careers of others.
One thing has remained constant. If it becomes publicly known that someone has refused an invitation to appear on TLMEP, they are instantly (and very vocally) labelled as a coward by both Québec’s media and by Québec’s public. This in itself can become a career breaker.
In this sense, I am not sure if there has ever been a more politically and socially powerful program in Canadian history.
With the exception of Stephen Harper, all of our political party leaders attend interviews on the program at least two or three times a year.
But because of the burdens of our mighty democracy, Harper as always hid been too busy and has refused to be interviewed been permanently “unavailable” (Oh, the hectic schedule of a Canadian Prime Minister. Fortunately President Obama’s schedule is far less cumbersome, since he has lots of time to appear on shows like Jimmy Fallon… Poor poor Canadian Prime Ministers… gotta feel for ’em).
This has drawn the ire of Québec’s public for many years, and has resulted in Harper becoming the butt of countless everyday jokes:
(Example: Two Joe Blow warehouse workers might have a colleague who is late for work. One warehouse worker would ask the other one “So where is Johnny X this morning?”. The other warehouse worker might answer “You didn’t know his middle name was Harper? He confused work with TLMEP and was too chicken shit to get here on time”.
If your constant refusals to attend Canada’s & Québec’s #1 show (in terms of overall ratings) gives you that sort of overtly negative reputation among your electorate, it shows you are grossly out of touch with your electorate. Perhaps you should throw in the towel before your electorate takes it from you (unless you turn to less-than-noble tactics to sneakily maintain power, such as Niqab bashing two women at a citizenship ceremony as if it were a greater threat to humanity than an asteroid headed for Earth).
On October 4th, Thomas Mulcair was one of TLMEP’s guests.
Last night, Justin Trudeau and Gilles Duceppe were TLMEP’s guests (appearing separately on the show, of course).
I have not yet seen the ratings, but based on how the shows were hyped in advance, I would not be surprised if they crested somewhere between 2.3 and 2.8 million viewers.
These were the last major interviews for the party leaders before E-day. Many voters missed the televised debates, and so the TLMEP interviews would have been the leader’s last major opportunity to appeal to a large audience.
I was actually quite surprised by how the interviews went. The host, Guy A. Lepage, never let any of them off the hook for a second (you sense that Mulcair has become too centrist and soft for him, Trudeau is too much of a joke for him, and Duceppe is too passé for him).
My take on the final results (and boy, I really tried very hard to come to objective conclusions… you have no idea how much I tried):
- Mulcair remained average (not great, not bad) and explained his positions quite thoroughly. It was OK, but he didn’t appear to say anything which would stop his downward slide in Québec. Usually it is Mulcair who aces TLMEP intervews. I didn’t get the sense he did this time. Usually it is Trudeau who fares far worse than Mulcair, but not this time. Read on for the big shocker…
- Trudeau gave what was probably his best interview of the entire election campaign (I have been less than kind to Trudeau throughout the election campaign, much less kind to the man than I am to his party – so for me to say this is no small thing).
The TLMEP audience is carefully screened weeks in advance, and the waiting list is supposed to be half a year to a year (I know this because I wanted to attend one of the airings, and I had to present a CV of my life, I was ready for the blood tests and retina scans. But I drew the line when cavity probes were likely to be performed — I don’t think I would have fit their ideal audience member). The audience tends to be staunchly far-left, and staunchly pro-sovereignty.
So with this said, by simple nature of who the TLMEP audience is, the audience generally has not bee kind at all to the son of a man who forced a constitution on Québec Trudeau. Yet, when Trudeau held his ground with curve-ball questions being thrown at him in all directions, a number of his responses were so good that even the traditionally hostile audience broke out in applause (there was one time they even broke out in cheers for Trudeau). I have never before seen this happen for Trudeau on TLMEP, and I was even surprised at how good he came across.
- Duceppe’s interview was miserable. You had to feel bad for him. Usually he owns TLMEP, but this time he sounded like a broken record with nothing new to add. The fact that he was being lambasted on the show by his own base left him nowhere to hide. I was shocked actually. At the very end of the interview, the TLMEP co-host and long-time Duceppe supporter, Danny Turcot, bluntly told Duceppe he was no longer going to vote for him. You should have seen Duceppe’s speechless face (that has to hurt, especially when you know “you got taught” by your own base in front of over 2 million people – perhaps closer to 3 million).
- And Harper… Oh yah, I forgot… No Harper… Too busy (they should have invited Obama).
Will these interviews translate into a shift in voting patterns?
I don’t know. It is possible. After all, a much larger swath of the electorate saw these interviews than the debates.
There were surprises during these interviews, so perhaps (just perhaps) they may influence the final vote

————————————————————
The last few posts which combined some language learning exercises garnered some pretty high traffic.
I guess that means that a good chunk of people found them interesting or useful to study spoken French.
Those could be considered rather straight forward in the sense that post #321’s conversation was rather short (even if it was colloquial / verbal), or in a controlled interview, such as in the case of post #322.
Regardless, such exercises give you a perspective and an opportunity to learn French as it is spoken in every day speech.
Textbook French only gets you so far. The true key is if you can put yourself in a situation where you have to use your French, you understand what is going on around you, and you can follow it enough to respond.
In the next few posts, I’m going to give you the opportunity to practice your listening skills, to learn some colloquial (oral) French vocabulary as it is spoken in everyday situations, and to challenge yourself a little.
I’m going to provide you with six texts, each with a different level of difficulty. I’ll rank them for you on a scale of one to six.
Because there is quite a bit of work involved in putting these together, I won’t be able to do them every day. But I will do my best to put one together every couple of days.
Also, I UNDERLINED some very colloquial words and expressions which might be of particular interest.
SCENARIO: This past long weekend I spent some down-time doing some camping, and some friends went fishing. on the way home, I was listening to Radio-X in the car (a very well known talk radio station). The coincidentally were talking about fishing stories.
I obtained clips from the show, edited them, added subtitles, and am presenting them to you with translated texts. I feel they provide you with the real-deal on how people speak to each other in French using relaxed, everyday colloquial French — at least on this side of the Atlantic, in Québec, and across Canada.
This first clip introduces what’s about to come with the real fishing stories (the subjects of the next few posts).
Lets dive into it.

Host A :
- 0:44 – T’étais prêt là.

Pis moi, la seule fois que j’ai swingé la channe à pêche, c’était comme dans les cartoons.
- The conditions were not there. No, no. It was all that on the river. So we simply forgot our project. But we still had good fish, even without having gone on the river. The only time I’ve gone fishing, it was in a little lake when I was young, with my parents. It was on Orleans Island. And me, the only time I swung a fishing rod, I ended up looking like a cartoon.

C’était une expérience qui a complètement tombé à l’eau. Et l’autre expérience, que c’était pas super fameux. J’étais trop jeune pour m’en souvenir là.
- No, No! But I was like « Shit! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!” I’m not hot on that. So it’s the only experience I have, with fishing, in my whole life. It was an experience which totally fell through. And the other experience, it wasn’t so hot I was like too young to remember it.
Host A :
- 1:48 – Là, t’as comme jamais pêché. T’es jamais allé à Costco.

- Yup, beautiful moments.
Host B :
- 2:09 – Mais il n’y avait pas de lol, ni de bonhomme clin d’œil, fait-que je ne sais pas si c’était sarcastique.
- But there was no lol, no winking man, so I don’t know if it was sarcastic.
Host A :
- 2:13 – Ah, ok. Toi tu penses que ça pourrait pas être vrai.
- Oh, ok. Tu think it wasn’t sincere.
Host B :
- 2:16 – Non, je ne pense pas que mon père est assez développé, technologie texto, pour faire des bonhommes sourire encore.

- Oh man. Listen, one day you get it. And what’s better than going to Costco than a fishing trip. And once there, it’s like, it’s like Christmas.
Host B :
- 2:29 – Tu sais, quand tu joins l’utile à l’agréable…
- Ya know, when you combine usefulness and likeable together…
Host A :
- 2:31 – La gang de boys qui débarque au Costco pour faire l’épicerie avant le voyage de pêche là, pis là tu sais que c’est le lendemain, il y a comme une effervescence… Toi Alex, toi non plus tu n’étais jamais aller pêcher?
- The group of guys who head off to to Costco to do their grocery shopping before, like, a fishing trip, and you know that the next day, it’s like riding on cloud nine…. You Alex, you neither have never been fishing?
Host C :
- 2:41 – La chasse, zéro fois, pis la pêche ça se compte su’les doigts de la main. J’aimais mes expériences, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi ç’a jamais vraiment donné que j’aille à la pêche et au camping, ou des choses comme ça. Si ça se compte, c’était peut-être à trois ou quatre fois que je suis allé à la pêche de même.
- Hunting, not once, and fishing I can count the number of times on one hand. I liked the times I had done it, but I don’t know why, but it never quite fit me to go fishing or camping, or anything like that. If I count, it was maybe three or four times that I’ve been fishing like that.
Host A :
- 2:54 – Je pense qu’on est dû, les gars, pour vous donner un peu d’expérience par procuration. D’après moi, on est dans un cas de spotted…
- I think it’s about time, guys, to let you live a little vicarious experience. In my opinion, we’re in a situation of having been caught with our pants down / being able to identify / bring to the fore / highlighting things…
Host B :
- 3:01 – Parce que des histoires de pêche, il y en a. Regarde, mon propriétaire, chaque fois que je le croise en partant de chez nous là, y a toujours une histoire de pêche à me conter. Pis c’est minimum une demi-heure par histoire de pêche là.
- Because when it comes to fishing stories, there certainly are those. Look, my landlord, each time I cross paths with him when I like leave our place, he always has a fishing story to tell me. And it’s like a minimum half hour per story for fishing.
Host A :
- 3:13 – Mais là, je veux des histoires de pêche, de chasse, avec un « H » majuscule. Pas des histoires de pêche « Aw, j’en ai poingé une grosse de même, pis… ».
- But like, I want fishing stories, hunting stories with a capital « H » (for “H”ell). I don’t want to hear fishing stories which go like “Aw, I got such a big one and …”
Host B :
- 3:21 – Non, non, des vraies histoires. Parce qu’il y en a toujours des histoires, des bateaux qui partent à la dérive quand on est au chalet. Une petite raconte « Ouais, j’ai oublié d’attacher le bateau ». Pis le bateau s’en va, pis t’es obligé d’aller nager.
- No, no, give us real stories. Because there are always stories, like boats which go off on their own when we’re at the cabin. Here’s a little story, “Yup, I forgot to tie up the boat…”. And off the boat went, and you had to go swimming.
Host A :
- 3:33 – Mais t’arriverais à un moment donner. On allait dans un chalet, mais tu sais, spotted, chasse et pêche, chalet : 670-9098, 1-877-440-2464, et il y a toujours le « live » à Radiox.com. Je sais qu’il y a ben de gens qui dans leur première semaine de vacances de la construction sont allés dans des chalets, sont allés pêcher, sont allés faire un peu de plein air, et plus souvent qu’autrement il y a des histoires d’alcool, de boisson.
- Well, we’ll get to you at a certain point. You went to a cabin, and you know, caught with your pants down, hunting, fishing, and cabins: 670-9098, 1-877-440-2464, and there’s always “live” at Radiox.com. I know there are many out there in their first week of construction vacations who went to cabins, fishing, who went to take in a bit of the great outdoors, and who more often than not have stories involving alcohol, of drinking.
- 4:02 – Il ne faut pas que ça tombe mal, mettons. Il ne faut pas que ça tombe mal ces histoires-là. Mais, mettons que des fois il y a des trucs quand-même assez cocasse qui se passe quand tu t’en vas à la pêche. Pis souvent, ce n’est pas pour être sexiste, mais souvent t’sais, c’est les boys, y vont à la pêche pis il y a toujours un paquet d’histoires. Moi j’avais déjà oublié d’attacher le pédalo au chalet. Pis le chalet était devant la rivière. Fait-que calcul-le comme tu veux.
- It doesn’t have to end badly, let’s say. These stories doesn’t have to end badly. But, let’s say that sometimes there are things which can yet be wacky enough which can happen when you go fishing. And often, it’s not to be sexist, but often, ya know, it’s the guys, they go fishing and there are always a ton of stories. Me, I even forgot to tie up the water-cycle to the cabin. And the cabin was in front of the river. I’ll leave it to you go guess what happened.
Host B :
- 4:26 – Bye-bye pédalo.
- Bye-bye water-cycle.
Host A :
- 4:28 – Il aurait fallu remorquer le pédalo. Il était rendu comme 500 pieds plus loin poigné dans des roches. C’était pas ma meilleure celle-là. OK, les lignes sont pleines. Je pense que vous nous avez des histoires à nous raconter. Spotted, chasse et pêche, plein air, ou appelez ça comme vous voulez. Peut-être sauf une fois au chalet, aussi ça peut entrer dans cette catégorie-là. On s’en va au téléphone. Allô, Radio-X…
- We had to tow the water-cycle. It went 500 feet down and go caught on the rocks. I wasn’t at my best with that one. OK, the lines are lit up. I think we’re going to have stories for you. Caught with your pants down, hunting and fishing, great outdoors, or call us about whatever. Except for that “one time” at the cabin, that can also enter into that category. Ok, let’s get to the calls. Hello, Radio-X…
