With Northern Ontario following Alberta's lead, separation fever is spreading across Canada like AIDS in Africa. But what about the original separatists? While Albertans want to separate mostly because they hate watching all their oil money go to annoying shit like other provinces' health care, the Quebecois want out because they actually believe they have their own distinct culture. Whenever this gets brought up most Anglos tend to get in a huff and are all, C'mon, are they that different? Then they watch videos like this one and can't help but think those Peppers have a point. For those non-bilingual viewers out there, this guy's basically singing about how he'll never forget some summer he spent with a girl--believe it or not a lot of the chorus is actually supposed to be in English. We can't tell if it's an overly eager homage toBritish interventionist video art or just la Belle Provence's response to Wesley Willis, albeit without the excuse of mental illness. We can all agree though, there's only really one thing you can say to a culture that gives itself up so unpretentiously to shit like prog metal, medievalism, and unicycles: Vive le Québec libre ostie!
