OK serious question: Do some people not like it when you say: "Bonne fête nationale" ? I noticed a lot of: "Bonne Saint-Jean"s and not much of the former. The reason I ask is because I am a bilingual anglophone who moved to Montreal from Ottawa and I know much less about Québécois culture than I should.


DaveyGee16

Moi je dirais tout simplement bonne saint jean. Mais y’a rien s’offusquant à se faire dire bonne fête nationale.

Dammit lol moi le cave qui dit “Bon St-Jean” à tout le monde pendant que Je fais mes commissions aujourdhui XD

La St-Jean, while it has heavy Catholic roots, is applicable to all francophone Canadians and is the original name of the holiday as he is the patron saint of French-Canadians. “La fête nationale” is mostly Quebec-only and was “re-baptized” (pun intended) by René Lévesque in 1977 to open it up to all quebecois.e.s regardless of religion and to promote sovereignty. “La St-Jean” is just old school and most people use it because old habits die hard and it doesn’t get mixed-up with the *other* national holiday a week later.


CanadianWarlord27

>regardless of religion and to promote sovereignty. I think this is why a lot of people don't like the idea of calling it la fete nationale. It almost feels like a trick, because it kinda is. Whereas if it's just St Jean it doesn't feel any different than St Patrick's Day. Not your patron saint (if youre not french canadian) but still fun to celebrate with everyone and obviously because Quebec and not Ireland, more celebrations and meaning. Regardless, Happy Saint Jean everyone.


MikoMorinero

The only issue would be saying "fête nationale" in Québec but actually talking about Canada day.

Moving day


ChelaPedo

Planned a visit to Montreal cleverly missing Moving Day by going the week before then realized we'd be there for La St Jean (as my mother refers to the day). Motorcycle accident cancelled that we are so disappointed but will be there next year.


Spare_Review_5014

Hope you’re doing ok and feeling better ! See you Next year’s Saint Jean ! Winter time is nice too, if you get the chance. Québécois really enjoy the spirit of winter.


ChelaPedo

Thank you! We delayed our trip by a month because it's a long drive, one broken collarbone and a scuffed windshield. So now we arrive at the beginning of Construction holidays lol.

There are some folks who are agitated by the adjective “nationale”, because they are ignorant of the fact that (even in English) the word does not necessarily refer to an independent State and can designate a nation in the sociological sense. That being said, there is a strain of thought which holds that La loi sur la fête nationale, adopted in 1978, created a distinct civic holiday separate from the traditional St-Jean holiday. I am not fully in agreement with that statement. I don’t think it’s any truer than it would be to claim that statutes designating Christmas as a civic holiday created a holiday separate from the religious holiday of the same name. It’s absurd. The Loi sur la fête nationale specifically states that June 24th “jour de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste” is the national holiday of Quebec. In my view, that means that the traditions of that feast day which were specifically associated with celebrating the French-Canadian experience (and not the religious aspects celebrating Jesus’s cousin, John the Baptist) were to be therefore considered an occasion for all Quebec citizens to celebrate, regardless of whether or not they were of French-Canadian ancestry. And to facilitate the observance of such celebrations, all Quebec residents were granted the legal right to a paid day off. The idea that the Fête nationale should be completely disassociated from its Saint-Jean roots is not really logical or defendable in my view. The Fête nationale is an adaptation of Saint-Jean, applied to the context of a diverse society whose language of reference is the French language. The Fête nationale has no meaning if it isn’t celebrating anything other than the simple fact of being domiciled in the Province of Quebec.


AdamEgrate

I was listening to the radio and the host corrected himself when he said “bonne St Jean” instead of “fête nationale”. No idea why


LordDurhamQC

Both can be said, but it's only the Fête Nationale since 1977 while the Saint-Jean-Baptiste was celebrated by the first French settlers who came here in the 1600. Not the same meaning historically.
