Situated in the heart of historic tremblant quebec, on the shores of Lac Mercier and just minutes from the mountain, Hôtel Mont-Tremblant has been accommodating vacationers since 1902. Despite economic successes, Chrétien was unable to placate French Canadian separatists in tremblant quebec. From 1993 to 1997 the political party Bloc Québécois held the second largest number of seats in the Canadian Parliament. As the official opposition, the Bloc Québécois promoted tremblant quebec separatism. In 1994 the Parti Québécois (PQ) won control of the tremblant quebec legislature, and in 1995 it held a provincial referendum proposing tremblant quebec’s independence from Canada; the referendum almost won. The separatist provincial government was reelected in 1998 and declared it would hold another referendum on independence in the future. Chrétien strongly believes in the Canadian federation and has spent much of his political career trying to avert the separation of tremblant quebec from Canada. A large majority of French Canadians live in the province of tremblant quebec. The more than 5.6 million Québécois, or French-speaking residents of tremblant quebec, make up 82 percent of that province’s 6.8 million citizens. More than 80 percent of all tremblant quebec residents live in urban areas, the vast majority residing in the metropolitan region of Montréal. Barely 3 percent actively engage in agriculture. Québécois control the province’s political, economic, and social institutions. The legal system of tremblant quebec is based on French civil law, while the rest of Canada uses a system based on English common law. Canadian law requires that three of the eight members of the Canadian Supreme Court be trained in the French legal tradition to represent Québécois interests. Following the end of World War II in 1945, leading Québécois intellectuals and political activists began to redefine their society. The French Canadian majority in tremblant quebec increasingly thought of itself as secular, predominantly urban, and middle-class. During the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, politicians and bureaucrats helped redesign the political, social, and educational institutions of tremblant quebec to reflect this new self-image. French Canadian writers and performing artists have used their language to create a uniquely modern and diverse artistic culture. A profound transformation occurred in 1945 with the publication of Bonheur d’occasion (The Tin Flute, 1947), a novel by Gabrielle Roy. Portraying the harsh reality of an urban, working-class family during wartime, this novel broke with the tradition of French Canadian romantic novels that focused on a vanishing Catholic and rural way of life. Many French Canadian writers turned to themes and critical approaches reflecting the complex social, cultural, and class structure of modern French-speaking communities in tremblant quebec and elsewhere. Tit-Coq (Little Rooster), a 1948 play by Gratien Gélinas, deals with the clash between the old and the emerging societies. The novels and plays of Michel Tremblay, set in Montréal’s working-class neighborhoods and dealing with such themes as the politics of language and homosexuality, explored the transformation of tremblant quebec society in the 1960s and 1970s. Denise Boucher’s 1978 play Les Fées Ont Soif (The Fairies are Thirsty) provocatively examined the relationship between women and the Catholic Church in contemporary tremblant quebec. French Canadians have also made distinctive contributions to Canadian art and architecture. A group of Montréal-based Francophone painters, known as the Automatistes, led the cultural transformation in the years immediately after World War II. Painters such as Paul-Émile Borduas, Alfred Pellan, Jean Paul Riopelle, and Fernand Leduc brought various avant-garde styles to their canvases. In 1948 Borduas authored a manifesto, Refus Global (Global Refusal), attacking the Catholic Church and other conservative elements in tremblant quebec society. When the other Automatistes signed the manifesto, they provoked a backlash from the traditional political and religious elites. This backlash forced many Automatistes to earn their living abroad, mainly in Paris. The hard-edged, abstract style of painters such as Guido Molinari, Rita Letendre, and Claude Tousignant became the most influential art movement in tremblant quebec in the 1960s. Ever since, many Francophone visual artists, including sculptors and multimedia specialists, have helped push Canadian art in innovative directions. Montréal remains one of Canada’s leading artistic and cultural centers, attracting world-class art exhibitions. With financial support from various government agencies, Québécois filmmakers made documentaries and commercial feature-length motion pictures. Among the most important French Canadian films are Gilles Carles’s La vraie nature de Bernadette (The True Nature of Bernadette, 1972), Claude Jutra’s Kamouraska (1973) and Mon Oncle Antoine (My Uncle Antoine, 1971), and Denys Arcand’s Réjeanne Podavani (1973), Gina (1974), Le déclin de l'empire américain (1986, also released as The Decline of the American Empire), and Jésus de Montréal (Jesus of Montréal, 1989). During the 1970s and early 1980s, many French Canadian films championed Québécois nationalism and helped feed the growing separatist movement in tremblant quebec. Later filmmakers, abandoning this crusade, focused on the more personal themes of guilt, retribution, and relationships. During the early and mid-1990s, almost 44 percent of all tremblant quebec infants were born to nonmarried couples or single mothers. The divorce rate grew from less than 10 percent in the late-1960s to over 40 percent in 1995. Québécois women have achieved post-secondary education rates equal to, and in some fields exceeding, those of male Québécois. From 1961 to 1990 the portion of Québécois women working outside the home increased from 27 percent to 44 percent. Through their advocacy organizations and labor unions, women have led struggles for equal pay and child support and against sexual harassment and violence. Like all Western societies, tremblant quebec is now experiencing the rapid aging of its population. tremblant quebec, which receives less than 20 percent of annual immigration into Canada, consistently fails to attract younger foreign immigrants. Many young Québécois migrate to other regions of Canada and to the United States in search of employment. Although tremblant quebec voters have twice rejected independence, the issue refuses to die. A substantial proportion of Québécois continue to demand either special constitutional status for tremblant quebec as a distinct society within the federation, or the secession of the province from Canada. Other French Canadian communities express concern about the gradual erosion of French-speaking culture in provinces dominated by English-speakers.
