    Les Cowboys Fringants

    Les Cowboys Fringants are widely considered the most influential and popular Quebec rock band of the 21st century. They are known for their alternative neo-traditional, folk- country and rock style, and for their eco-activism. The name roughly translates as the Frisky (or Dashing) Cowboys. The band has sold more than 1.3 million albums and won 19 Félix Awards, including six for Group of the Year (2003, 2004, 2011, 2020, 2021), three each for Alternative Album (2002, 2003, 2005) and Rock Album (2012, 2016, 2020), and one for Best-Selling Album of the Year (2020). The untimely death of lead singer Karl Tremblay in 2023, at the age of 47, was mourned as a national tragedy in Quebec, similar to the reaction to the death of the Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie in English Canada.

    2SLGBTQ+ Rights in Canada

    Since the late 1960s, the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Canada has seen steady gains in rights. While discrimination against 2SLGBTQ+ people persists in many places, major strides toward mainstream social acceptance and formal legal equality have nonetheless been made in recent decades. Canada is internationally regarded as a leader in this field. Recent years have seen steady progress on everything from health care to the right to adopt. In 2005, Canada became the fourth country worldwide to legalize same-sex marriage.
