"Journée nationale des patriotes," celebrated in Québec, Canada in May does NOT translate to "Victoria Day", celebrated on the same day in English Canada. Although they are on the same day, they celebrate two different things. In fact, they have opposite connotations: the English holiday celebrates a British queen's birthday, the French holiday celebrates a revolt AGAINST British rule in 1837.
The correct translation should be what it's called in English by English-speaking Quebecers: "National Patriot's Day." What is the process for correcting this insulting error? Simply mentioning it here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
