In the wake of the capsules he has been broadcasting for several years on his popular YouTube channel (383,000 subscribers), historian Laurent Turcot, professor at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières, has written down, in a more serious and often amplifying them, its little gems of popularization which deal with the history of daily life in Quebec. History will tell us. Tabarnouche, shepherd’s pie and other cultural traits of Quebec tells a general public about Quebec French, the holidays (from Valentine’s Day to the Carnival of Quebec, from Saint-Jean-Baptiste to Christmas), the medicine of yesteryear and Quebec gastronomy, telling about our relationship with alcohol and maple syrup as much as the controversial origins of poutine. Without forgetting, of course, the history of sports – of which Laurent Turcot is a specialist – taking us from the race for the greased pig to the rivalry between the Canadians and the Nordiques. A dynamic digest of popular history.
