June 24 is the Fête nationale du Québec, also known as Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. It's one of the province's biggest holidays, despite being largely unknown by non-Francophone Canadians. Nevertheless, it creates a perfect opportunity to discuss the role of Jews in Quebec: how they've integrated, what daily life is like and how Zionism has (or hasn't) resonated with Quebec nationalists. Pierre Anctil, a Canadian historian and professor at the University of Ottawa, joins to discuss. Plus: the hosts discuss a provocative essay by Natan Sharansky and Gil Troy in Tablet called "The Un-Jews", and Rabbi Boris Dolan of Dorshei Emet talks about the perfect Shabbat song. Bonjour Chai is hosted by Avi Finegold, Melissa Lantsman and Ilana Zackon. Michael Fraiman is the producer. Andrew Goulet is the technical producer. Our theme music is by Socalled. The show is a co-production from The Jewish Learning Lab and The CJN, and is distributed by The CJN Podcast Network.

Today is La Fête nationale du Québec. To learn more about the infamous 1968 Saint-Jean Baptiste Day we spoke with official Pierre Elliot Trudeau biographer and author of "Just Watch Me: The Life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau Vol. 2: 1968-2000".

The Civic holiday is recognized as a statutory holiday in those three provinces and territories.The holiday is known by a variety of names in other provinces and municipalities, including British Columbia Day in British Columbia, New Brunswick Day in New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan Day in Saskatchewan. The holiday is celebrated as Natal Day[2] in Nova Scotia and Terry Fox Day in Manitoba; however, though not a statutory holiday in Nova Scotia, it is in Manitoba.[3]In 1974 the Government of Alberta, acting through Minister of Culture Dr. Horst A. Schmid, declared the first Monday in August an annual holiday to recognize and celebrate the varied cultural heritage of Albertans, known as Heritage Day.[4] This gave rise in 1976 to the Edmonton Heritage Festival, a three-day celebration of food, dance, and handicrafts of cultures from around the world. Heritage Day has been an "optional" civic holiday, having been downgraded from a statutory holiday following the introduction of Family Day in 1990.[citation needed]The holiday was renamed Simcoe Day in Toronto effective 1969 in honour of the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada and the promulgator of the Act Against Slavery,[5][6][7] but a motion at the Ontario Municipal Association to extend the name change across Ontario failed.[7][8] According to a 2005 proclamation this name continues to apply in the present amalgamated city of Toronto.[9] Civic Holiday is now known by one of a number of local appellations such as Colonel By Day in Ottawa, George Hamilton Day in Hamilton, Joseph Brant Day in Burlington, Founders' Day in Brantford, McLaughlin Day in Oshawa, Alexander Mackenzie Day in Sarnia, James Cockburn Day in Cobourg, Peter Robinson Day in Peterborough, and John Galt Day in Guelph, as well as numerous other names in smaller municipalities.[citation needed] When not given a local name, it is often referred to as 'Civic Holiday'.[10] Although a work holiday is given to employees of the federal and many municipal governments,[1] the Government of Ontario has not defined this day as a statutory holiday and it is not mentioned in either Ontario's Employment Standards Act or Retail Business Holidays Act.[11][12] Schools are generally already closed, regardless of the holiday's status, because of summer vacation. The Caribbean Cultural Festival, formerly known as Caribana, is held this holiday weekend in Toronto, coinciding with Emancipation Day.The holiday is not generally observed in Quebec (as they already get two long weekends in a row with Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, and Canada Day),Newfoundland and Labrador, or Yukon. In Newfoundland, the Royal St. John's Regatta, which usually occurs on the first Wednesday of August, effectively displaces the Monday holiday even though it is only officially celebrated as a civic holiday in St. John's. In Yukon, Discovery Day is observed on the third Monday of August instead, and commemorates the 1896 discovery of gold in the territory and the start of the Klondike Gold Rush

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day

Every year Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day is celebrated June 24th so we wanted to have an episode that focused on the history of the event. We were lucky enough to have James Myall back to teach us not just the history of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day in Canada but also in New England. We talk about the origin, how it was celebrated and why we don’t seem to celebrate it as much as we used to.

Get ready for double the Dion! We celebrate Canada Day (and Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, kinda) with two songs performed by French-Canada's favorite diva: "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day", a sentimental original that Celine co-wrote, and "Promenade En Traineau", a francophone version of Sleigh Ride from the very first year of her professional singing career. Joyeuses fêtes!

Quebec’s Saint Jean Baptiste Day gets its origins. The pagan celebrations of the summer solstice turned into a religious celebration during the reign of King Clovis of France in the 5th century. He decided to mark the birth of John the Baptist, the man who baptized Jesus Christ, on June 24. Given the date’s proximity to the summer solstice, it’s celebrated with bonfires symbolizing lighting up the world. European Catholics, especially in France, celebrate it with vigor, as do Quebecers, who call it the Fête Nationale (National Holiday). In Canada the holiday began on June 24, 1834 when 60 prominent Francophones and Anglophones gathered for a banquet. Two days later Ludger Duvenay, founder of the newspaper La Minerve, wrote in his paper that this day must be celebrated annually. Although it was not always celebrated, Duvenay established the Association Saint-Jean Baptiste in 1843 and became its first president. On June 24, 1880, at an association gathering in Quebec City, those present were the first to hear Calixa Lavallée’s song “Ö Canada,” based on a poem by Quebec judge Adolphe-Basile Routhier. It was translated into English for a royal tour in 1901 and became the official national anthem in 1980. Over the years the Quebec holiday has grown into the premier day for the celebration of Quebec’s language, culture and identity. Yet to others it is still a day of religious celebration.
