Of course! It's an entire genre here.
But one of Québec's most political filmmakers- shit-disturbers made a few movies that mock the typical USA-imitating Federalist (favors staying in Canada for the cash).
The character is Elvis Gratton, and he eats french fries, drinks Coca Cola, spends winters in Florida, and has a giant gut and very little culture or the ability to think for himself. He lives in the suburbs and drives a convertible.
This "pro-USA" type of French-Canadian was a very normal animal in the 60s and 70s, and it was obese, uncurious Elvis Grattons who ruined our ecosystem with ugly suburban crap.
This "neoliberal obesity" was a huge issue in Quebec AFTER the Quiet Revolution, but not before. You have to respect yourself and your own culture before you can take care of your own health.
