Détroit (straight)
French in Detroit: DAY-TWAH = straight. Not a river. A river has a source (mountain, spring, lake, etc). The Detroit River has no source. It connects two larger bodies of water: Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie.

The colors symbolize nobility (blue), clergy (white), and bourgeois (red), which were the estates of the old regime in France. When the Tricolour was formally adopted in 1794, its colors symbolized the values of the French Revolution: liberty, equality, brotherhood, democracy, secularism, and modernization.

Pour Que Tu M’aimes Encore Lyrics – Celine Dion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_1lgCC4LGA
J’ai compris tous les mots,
j’ai bien compris, merci.
Raisonnable et nouveau, c’est ainsi par ici.
Que les choses ont changé, que les fleurs ont fané,
que le temps d’avant, c’était le temps d’avant.
Que si tout zappe et lasse, les amours aussi passent.
Il faut que tu saches…
J’irai chercher ton cœur si tu l’emportes ailleurs,
même si dans tes danses d’autres dansent tes heures.
J’irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes.
Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Fallait pas commencer m’attirer me toucher…
Fallait pas tant donner, moi je sais pas jouer…
On me dit qu’aujourd’hui,
on me dit que les autres font ainsi.
Je ne suis pas les autres, non, non.
Avant que l’on s’attache, avant que l’on se gâche.
Je veux que tu saches…
J’irai chercher ton cœur si tu l’emportes ailleurs,
même si dans tes danses d’autres dansent tes heures.
J’irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes.
Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Je trouverai des langages pour chanter tes louanges.
Je ferai nos bagages pour d’infinies vendanges.
Les formules magiques des marabouts d’Afrique,
j’les dirai sans remords pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Je m’inventerai reine pour que tu me retiennes.
Je me ferai nouvelle pour que le feu reprenne.
Je deviendrai ces autres qui te donnent du plaisir,
vos jeux seront les nôtres si tel est ton désir.
Plus brillante, plus belle pour une autre étincelle.
Je me changerai en or pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Pour que tu m’aimes encore…
Pour Que Tu M’aimes Encore Lyrics English Translation
I understood all the words, I understood, thank you.
They were new and made sense, that’s why here
Things have changed, and the flowers have wilted
That’s why the past was the past
That’s why, if everything changes and wears out, then loves also fade away
You should know
I’ll look for your heart if you take it somewhere else
Even if when you dance, others are dancing with you
I’ll look for your soul in the cold, in the flame
I’ll cast a spell on you, so that you love me still
You shouldn’t have started, attracted me, touched me
I shouldn’t have given so much, I don’t know how to play
People tell me that today, they tell me that’s how other women do things
I’m not other women
Before we get too close, before we throw it away
You should know
I’ll look for your heart if you take it somewhere else
Even if when you dance, others are dancing with you
I’ll look for your soul in the cold, in the flame
I’ll cast a spell on you, so that you love me still
I’ll find other languages to sing your praises
I’ll pack our bags for the fields of eternal harvests
I’ll say those magic words spoken by African healers
I’ll say them with no regrets, so that you love me still
I’ll make myself a queen so that you don’t leave me
I’ll make myself new so the fire starts again
I’ll become like those other women who make you happy
Your games will be our games, if that’s what you desire
I’ll make myself brighter, more beautiful, to rekindle the spark
I’ll turn myself to gold, so that you love me still
Poutine is a dish of french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. It emerged in Quebec, in the late 1950s in the Centre-du-Québec region, though its exact origins are uncertain and there are several competing claims regarding its invention
1995
October 30
Quebec separatists narrowly defeated
By a bare majority of 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent, citizens of the province of Quebec vote to remain within the federation of Canada. The referendum asked Quebec’s citizens, the majority of whom are French-speakers, to vote whether their province should begin the process that could make it independent of Canada.
The French were the first settlers of Canada, but in 1763 their dominions in eastern Canada fell under the control of the British. In 1867, Quebec joined Canada’s English-speaking provinces in forming the autonomous Dominion of Canada. Over the next century, the English language and Anglo-America culture made steady inroads into Quebec, leading many French Canadians to fear that they were losing their language and unique culture. The Quebec independence movement was born out of this fear, gaining ground in the 1960s and leading to the establishment of a powerful separatist party—the Parti Québécois—in 1967. In 1980, an independence referendum was defeated by a 60 percent to 40 percent margin.
Far narrower than the 1980 margin, the 1995 referendum was the most serious threat to Canadian unity in the country’s 128-year existence, carrying with it the possibility of losing nearly one-third of Canada’s population if the Oui vote won. Quebec separatists refrained from any significant violence after their narrow defeat, but former Québécois leader Jacques Parizeau raised the specter of racial tension by declaring that his campaign had been beaten by “money and the ethnic vote.”
