Legume

Leguminosae, or Fabaceae, is the third-largest family of flowering plants, containing up to 650 genera and 18,000 species. Over 4,000 species are native to North America, most of which are members of the bean subfamily. They occur as scattered, secondary components of native vegetation. Over 2,000 species of milk vetch (genus Astragalus) alone occur worldwide, more than 40 in Canada. Other common native legumes are lupines (Lupinus), vetches (Vicia), locoweed (Oxytropis) and vetchling (Lathyrus). Most legumes, in association with strains of the bacterium Rhizobium,"fix" part of their nitrogen requirement and improve soils as green manure. Legumes are also a staple in the diets of both animals and humans.

Both the Richardson's and the Ungava collared lemming are endemic to Canada (see Animals Only Found in Canada). Most Canadian lemmings are found in the tundra of the Arctic Archipelago, the Hudson Bay area, Labrador and the Ungava Peninsula.

Les BB

Les BB (pronounced leh beh-beh like the French “les bébés,” meaning “the babies”) was one of Quebec’s most beloved pop-rock bands of the late-1980s and early-1990s. Band members included Patrick Bourgeois (lead singer and songwriter, guitar, bass), Alain Lapointe (keyboards, backing vocals, guitar, bass), and François Jean (drums). Les BB’s first two albums sold hundreds of thousands of copies and featured several hit singles. The band’s sound typified the high-production quality popular in the pre-grunge pop-rock era. The band was active from 1989 to 1996 and won four Félix Awards in that time. It then reformed in 2004 and was active again until the death of Bourgeois in 2017.

Les Cowboys Fringants

Les Cowboys Fringants are widely considered the most influential and popular Quebec rock band of the 21st century. They are known for their alternative neo-traditional, folk- country and rock style, and for their eco-activism. The name roughly translates as the Frisky (or Dashing) Cowboys. The band has sold more than 1.3 million albums and won 19 Félix Awards, including six for Group of the Year (2003, 2004, 2011, 2020, 2021), three each for Alternative Album (2002, 2003, 2005) and Rock Album (2012, 2016, 2020), and one for Best-Selling Album of the Year (2020). The untimely death of lead singer Karl Tremblay in 2023, at the age of 47, was mourned as a national tragedy in Quebec, similar to the reaction to the death of the Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie in English Canada.
