通过Tremblay的文章，我们会得到这样一个讯息：“魁北克文化注定要成为美国文化吗？”他提出的弱势和威胁魁北克省是由我们的老大哥美国文化入侵危险造成的。他没有直接回答“是魁北克文化注定要成为美国文化？”但现在魁北克几乎是呈现在这样一个糟糕的状态。本文通过数据评估，阐明了在加拿大魁北克文化产业和说法语魁北克人受美国的影响程度，从而使读者对魁北克文化的明显的威胁作出自己的假设。Tremblay还讨论了魁北克和加拿大的文化产业如“广播节目生产和影视”应该进入自由贸易协定（文化网络，1997）。是将入口打开呈现一个完整的文化侵略的方式？或将提升加拿大和魁北克文化产业的利润最大化？对于不符合管制的主要原因是担心，尤其是加拿大魁北克文化将超越美国文化。不幸的是，在现实中，更强大和繁荣的国家占了上风，可以执行更多的控制。大巨人正在威胁魁北克的未来？

魁北克和加拿大的主要利益是他们的“文化身份”，他们主要担心的是太多的美国影响力的推广和维护，特别是在媒体方面（Tremblay，1992）。按照这一需要保护，加拿大广播政策在1991广播法严格遵守这种文化身份概念的推广，支持加拿大人才和加拿大生产的内容在电视和加拿大电影（Tremblay，1992）中播放。这样可获得美国和加拿大的制作提供了加拿大人的重大选择。然而，由于语言上的障碍，这样的选择在魁北克省还是很有限的。鉴于这一事实，魁北克因为其“语言提供了一个强大的天然屏障。美国的内容不一样，以英语为母语的加拿大构成威胁了魁北克的文化认同，因为讲英语的加拿大和美国的文化比较接近。

At first glance through Tremblay's article, 'Is Quebec Culture Doomed to Become American?' he proposes that the vulnerable and threatened Quebec province is in danger of a cultural invasion by our Big Brother the United States. He fails to directly answer the question 'Is Quebec Culture Doomed to Become American?' According to the statistics presented Quebec is hardly in such a bad state. The data outlined in the article assessed the degree of American influence over Canadian and Quebecois cultural industry and the demand of Quebecois programming by the Francophone people, thus allowing the readers to make their own assumptions about the apparent threat to Quebec's culture. Tremblay also discusses whether Quebecois and Canadian cultural industries - such as 'broadcast programming and production and film and video' - should enter the Free Trade Agreement (Culture Network, 1997). Would the entrance open the way to a complete cultural invasion? Or would it enhance Canada's and Quebec's cultural industries by maximizing profits? The main reason for noncompliance with deregulation is the fear that Canadian and especially Quebecois culture would be overtaken by America. Unfortunately, in reality, the more powerful and thriving nation has the upper-hand and may enforce more control. Is the future of Quebec in jeopardy of being swallowed up by the big giant?

Quebec's and Canada's main interest is the promotion and maintenance of their 'cultural identity' and their main fear is too much American influence, especially within the media (Tremblay, 1992). In accordance with this need of protection, the Canadian broadcasting policy within the Broadcasting Act of 1991 strictly adheres to this notion of promotion of cultural identity, by endorsing Canadian talent and Canadian produced content on television and Canadian films (Tremblay, 1992). This availability of American and Canadian productions offers Canadians significant choices. However, this choice is limited in Quebec where the language barrier separates them from American content. The United States dominates numerous industries around the world, but in the case of media, language is an obstacle. Given this fact, Quebec is not in severe danger of being dominated by American content because its 'language provides a strong natural barrier to media imports' and Quebecers favour home based productions because they relate to their culture and lifestyles (Straubhaar and LaRose 2004, 466). American content does not pose such a threat to Quebec's cultural identity as it does to Anglophone Canada, because English-speaking Canada and the U.S.'s cultures are relatively the same:

'The cultural debate, while still an issue in Quebec, is less a concern because 't
