"Un Canadien errant" (A Wandering Canadien) was written in 1842 by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie following the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837/38.
Also known as the Patriotes War, this was a massive armed conflict between rebels and the British colonial government of Lower Canada (modern day Quebec). Some of the rebels were executed, while others were forced into exile to the United States and British colonies as far as Australia. The song has become a patriotic anthem for French-Canadians and Acadians who have in their history experienced the pain of exile and oppression.
Shown is a map of the approximate borders of Lower Canada with the Patriotes flag.
Today is National Patriotes Day in Québec, which exists to honor the struggle of the patriots of 1837-1838 in their fight for the national recognition of the Canadiens français and Québec's political liberty.

C'est la version plus triste que j'ai écouté. Sur Spotify, y'a pas cette version. Même si chu pas québécois, je sens l'émotion et l'accent fort. Vive le Québec, vive son drapeau.

Un héro! He died in Saint-Eustache in a last stand as the british burned the city in revenge for the rebellion. He was shot like exiting the burning church if I remember correctly. The dude was only a doctor and he fought against the British Empire, so it's hard not to respect his courage even if he failed, Vive les Fils de la liberté et que l'âme de Chénier nous accompagne!

Let's set things straight - back in 1840, Canadiens were french speaking residents of the British colonies north and west of the United States. English speaking residents of the British colonies in North America started calling themselves Canadians around 1900 when the memory of the original ''ownership'' of this name had faded. Donc, n'hésitons pas à dire nôtres ces noms de Canadiens et Canada.

Flag of Lower Canada. At this time both Lower Canada under Papineau & Upper Canada under MacKenzie revolted against the British Oligarchy.

@sophiedaoust9864 Год назад

it’s the patriot rebellion flag. Patriot rebellion was also English Canadians who wanted to have more local independance from Britain. It wanted “responsible government”. We often forget that in Quebec.

It makes me happy to see Quebecois call themselves Canadien. But its sad the British banished them from the homeland. Shame on them 😡

@GeoffroiB 7 месяцев назад

At the time of the "Rébellion des Patriotes'', the Canadiens (some of whom were Anglophones) fought to gain independence from the Loyalists/British/English. In broad terms, prior to the Unification of Canada, being a Canadien (and not a Canadian) generally meant you spoke French. The Anglophones still widely saw themselves as "English", as in from England. "Canadien" -> "French Canadian" -> "Québécois" The Canadiens are distinct from the Canadians.

@mattdias6689 7 месяцев назад

@GeoffroiB Interesting. Thanks for teaching me that. Sadly I don't like how English Canadians called themselves British. It's nothing against Britain of course.

@ericst-laurent8161 3 месяца назад

The first to be called "Canadien" in history were the French born in the St. Lawrence Valley in the 17th century.
