I removed the comment about the war in Iraq in the description of La sainte paix, because this has been written far before the war in Iraq and was describing the non-violent character of the Quebec people, which you can notice by listening to the lyrics. However, it is true that you can today listen to it having in mind the current war in Iraq, but it is just an interpretation of it.

Do the lyrics need to be in English? It removes all the meaning and the rhythm. -Lisa

As this is the English Wikipedia, whose primary focus are those who speak English (not necessarily anglophones, mind you) I believe that the lyrics should be in English. However, I also believe that you should feel free to include the non-translated lyrics alongside what is already present. Example: O Canada

What does the sentence "...and they embody a resurgence of political pornagraphy." mean?

should it be "political pornography", and if so what is meant by that?

fringant = frisky ???[edit]

I'm not quebecois, but in French french "fringant" means "dapper" or "sharply dressed", which is nothing like "frisky". 75.92.230.136 (talk) 02:12, 5 April 2008 (UTC)tbyrnestl[reply]

I am Quebecois and you're wrong. I also teach French. Don't change articles if you're not 100% sure of the meaning of a word. A French dictionary would help rather than simply some translation software. - Captain Canada

Read closely and learn, and follow if you understand French.

Fringant, e adj. - 1. Se dit d'un cheval vif et de fiere allure. 2. Dont le comportement est vif et petulant. Source: Le petit Larousse 2007. (Je m'excuse, mais il n'y a pas d'accents sur mon ordi).

To translate loosely - 1. Said of a lively young horse. 2. Of which the behaviour is lively and petulant.

Sounds like frisky to me. Please don't comment or chnage articles if you don't speak French fluently. We can do without armchair experts on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain canada (talk • contribs) 17:42, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
