Talk:Canadian humour

message: I think the first sentence can be improved. It refers to 'the Canadian Identity'. This implies a tangible, or at least worthy of a name, object or idea. I don't think such a thing exists. Rather, it should called as 'Canadian identity', which is more general. MaxwellArcher (talk) 18:29, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Canadian Identity

message: User:24.207.10.76, as hir only edit thusfar, tacked this sentence to the bit about Jann Arden: "Many Canadians disagree with Jann Arden's sense of humour and this points to another area of Canadian culture: disagreeing on what Canadian Culture is." I reverted it. I think it's a given that any humourist will leave a fair number of people cold; we can trust our readers to understand this without tagging every reference to a widely-recognized humourist with weasel words. Further, it's unsupported; any relevant/attributed and/or specific/factual discussion of critiques of her humour might do well at Jann Arden; this wouldn't be the place.

thread_title:  Jann Arden, that controversial comic 

message: English Canadian humour and Quebecois humour are two seperate phenomena.  There's very little cross-polination between the two.  This article treats Quebecois humour as if it were simply the same as english-Canadian humour, but in a different language.  The argument that both engage in satire of politicians is hardly a convincing argument for their being treated as the same subject.  An article could equally be written about Canadian/Swedish humour, pointing out that both engage in satire of politicians, and then noting some Swedish humourists anecdotally alongside Canadian humourists.  And it would be an equally false analysis.  Anyone who lives in Quebec and speaks both languages realizes that Quebec and English Canadian senses of humour are very different.  They should not be treated as a united subject.  Doing so is intellectually dishonest, if not outright politically motivated.  Seperate sections for Quebecois and English-Canadian humour.  How many comedians are popular both in english-Canada and Quebec?  Quebec has many more comedic tv shows inspired by French television than by english-Canadian television: Et Dieu Créa Laflaque is clearly inspired by Les Guignoles; Tout le Monde en Parle is an adaptation of the French show with the same name (The most popular comedic talk-show, by far); etc etc etc.  This article smacks of cultural appropriation.
:There are far more than two humours in Canada.  Native humour is different from either English or French Canada's, Atlantic humour is different from Ontario humour, I could go on.  It's still useful to have an article like this where the differences and similarities can be explained (and yes, there are some similarities unique to Canada, though not as many as the article suggests).  I would support you if you wanted to rewrite sections of this article, but I would oppose deleting it.  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:01, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree there is nothing in common with humour from Quebec and from English-Canada. These are two very different scenes. --Danbob999 (talk) 17:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quebecois humour and English Canadian humour not the same 

message: While Martin Short is, of course, Canadian, Primetime Glick hardly seems like a good example of Canadian humour.  The whole premise of the show revolves around American Hollywood culture.  On Thermonuclear War (talk) 20:55, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I think it would be useful to expand on the themes that are common in Canadian humour (as can be seen in the article on British humour).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.25.123 (talk) 15:16, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I've removed the link to the South Park "Blame Canada" that, other than having the nation of Canada being a main concept within the song, has no real connection to Canadian humour.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.105.28 (talk) 21:29, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The Russian humour article is hilarious -- and the Canadian humour doesn't have a single joke. --TDKehoe (talk) 03:19, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
