Like I said, the dynamics where I live are centered around keeping francophone culture alive, which means a mix of French authors and local authors. In that sense it is insulated from the rest of the world to an extent, and the anglosphere in particular. The only English material we ever had to read were some sci-fi novelettes and children's stories.
Of course a lot of the time in our local mandatory community colleges called CEGEPs was spent demonizing the authors from the time where Upper Canada (today's Quebec) were mostly catholics who wrote about good values and being proud of your country and defending it, while glorifying renaissance authors like Voltaire, and modern decadent "authors" who largely wrote rubbish.
Take a look at one of the novels that is basically glorified. It is basically a warped view of pastoral lower Canada from the early 20th century, where the author tries to make it look like life was non-stop incest and rape. It even received the French Medicis price. It is called "One Season in the Life of Emmanuel".
This is one of the absolute worst attacks ever devised against Christianity. And yet, modern leftist intellectuals have turned it into an "all-time classic", and "accurate rendition of life in rural French Canada". It was written in the mid-sixties.
I'm trying to find an English source describing how shocking this novel is but it's really hard. Imagine a De Sade novel set in a rural religious community. Imagine that getting hailed as a brilliant classic and accurate and normal rendition of human behavior.
It is when people tried to promote such decadent local authors as great authors that I realized how this modern culture was a load of rubbish. There was a poet who also made poems advocating incest and trying to force nuns into having sex with you, who was glorified as well, named Claude Gauvreau.
I hate that I had to read atrocities like this instead of classic authors, but blame the people here who want to promote whatever miserable local culture there ever was at all costs.
