Florida is a winter wonderland for these Québécois snowbirds. They leave the Canadian cold behind for a totally French trailer park where no one speaks English - and everyone has a good time.
Long-time snowbirds Rollande, Yvette, Julien, Monique, Agathe and Nelson are all getting older, but still make the trip to Florida every year. They’re here to spent their winter days having fun in the sun.

Here I was thinking CBC promoted the idea that wanting to living amongst similar people was bad. "It is good because nobody speaks english here" Now ask their feelings about Anglophones in Quebec.

These retirees have the right idea. I’m sure they all have traditional homes back in Canada with lots of "things" but it’s the simple things and less distractions that bring pleasure . Like walking the beach and not having every moment of the day planned out. Meeting up with friends, enjoying a swim in the ocean, playing a boardgames with a neighbor or a glass of wine with friends. A lot people think having materialistic things will make them happy, when in fact It’s the time we share with one another that brings happiness and wonderful memories.

Rohan Dahiya Pluta I think Americans finds Quebeckers to be chill and relax. They are intrigued by a culture that puts quality of life first before getting rich in material. And the French culture has a reputation to be romantic.

When I moved to Hollywood I was astonished how many Canadians were a big part of the area. They owned it from Jollywood to Pompano. This aesthetic you lend to this doc is exactly what it called for. And the Flea Market, pure French. Amazing you too felt the impact of this. Thanks for a great doc.

@coincoindelacanardiere3958 4 года назад

great film but the older Québécois we see in it are in no way representative of the majority of Québécois men of that generation. Not the ones living in Québec full-time at least. My uncles are of their age and they are nothing like that on the contrary they're funny as f and it’s great fun to be around them at parties. Don’t let their rough, grumpy ways fool you. Get to know them and in no time you’ll agree with me

The condominium I live in in Sunny Isles Beach (Miami, FL) is full of apartments where French-Canadians stay. During a certain time of the year, the building seems so empty and then a few months later it gets packed again. You'll drive around the streets and see tons of license plates from Quebec. I enjoy French Canadians, every single one I have met has been very kind and polite to me regardless of their English speaking skills. A lot of Miami doesn't even speak English that well anyways lol

@sirarnie9837 5 лет назад

I am an American and even I want to move to Florida just for the weather. These Canadians prove that warm weather alone can improve your quality of life. Cold weather really does have a negative effect on a person not just physically, but mentally as well. Also, it seems like Quebecois are so different from English speaking Canadians. Why hasn't French Canada split?

@GaisSacredCreations 5 лет назад

With 484 years of French culture in Québec, Québecers have been trying since the '80s to separate from Canada. The last referendum was in 1995 and the vote ended up 51% NOT to separate and 49% YES, to separate. With the political climate we have now, the influx of illegals crossing heavily over the New York state / Québec border, we are heading for the same direction once again. Only a matter of time... I much rather spend my winters in Cuba...love it there! When I retire, I'll join the many Quebecers that spend their winters there instead of Florida. ;-) Much cheaper than Florida.

Why hasn't French Canada split? Many scholars have tried to answer that question without finding a sounding answers. There are many PhD to be earned in History, Anthropology, Sociology or Geography with that question.

The best way for older Quebecois to learn english is by watching Day time Drama Television. The days of our lives for starters. the Women will love it. For the males, Watch a Sports game. Baseball, football, hockey. In English. Especially Hockey. They will pick up on it quickly.
