The Canadian comics world has been split along linguistic and cultural lines since its beginning. Although the boundary between both has been a bit less rigid in the last 30 years, movement across the linguistic border is still not fluid. Until recently, BDQ mostly continued the Franco-Belgian tradition while the Canadian comics were influenced by the American tradition. In the last three decades, more transfer could be seen among all traditions mostly as a result of globalization, which includes the globalized graphic narrative. However, there is still a difference in fluidity in the two Canadian comics worlds. For several reasons, the Anglo-Canadian comics world has been quite receptive to the manga while the French-Canadian one has been much less so. I argue that this Quebecer cool welcoming is reflected in the use of a more rigid grid than in Anglo-Canadian comics. Using Brenna Clarke Gray’s parallel between territorial border and comics gutter, I explain these differences using some concrete examples from both Canadian linguistic communities.

America has generated a great deal of thought and writing in Quebec, but this commentary has never possessed the obsessiveness and anxieties that have characterized English Canadian writing on the United States. Yet both English- and French-speaking Canada share a vigorous and long-standing anti-American tradition. Indeed, from the eighteenth century to the present day, leading French Canadian writers and intellectuals have offered sweeping condemnations of American society. This apparent continuity masks a fundamental shift in the underpinnings of anti-American rhetoric in Quebec: primarily a left-wing idea today, anti-Americanism was essentially a right-wing doctrine until the postwar years. This paper explores the nature and origins of anti-Americanism in French Canada before 1945 and finds it tied to notions of anti-modernism on the part of French Canadian intellectuals.

Abstract. This replication and extension of DeYoung, Quilty, Peterson, and Gray’s (2014) study aimed to assess the unique variance of each of the 10 aspects of the Big Five personality traits ( DeYoung, Quilty, & Peterson, 2007 ) associated with intelligence and its dimensions. Personality aspects and intelligence were assessed in a sample of French-Canadian adults from real-life assessment settings ( n = 213). Results showed that the Intellect aspect was independently associated with g, verbal, and nonverbal intelligence while its counterpart Openness was independently related to verbal intelligence only, thus replicating the results of the original study. Independent associations were also found between Withdrawal, Industriousness and Assertiveness aspects and verbal intelligence, as well as between Withdrawal and Politeness aspects and nonverbal intelligence. Possible explanations for these associations are discussed.
