- -"Soirée canadienne" was a weekly Quebec television (in Canada) show broadcast every Saturday night, from 1960 to 1983, for 23 years, on Télé-7 (CHLT - Sherbrooke) and the Télé-Métropole network. The show was hosted by Louis Bilodeau. The one-hour program, with the theme of Quebecois (French-Canadian) folklore, was set against the backdrop of a typical Canadian house and recreated the universe of a vigil of yesteryear, articulated around performances of various orders (songs, gigues, dances, etc.) of its protagonists: the inhabitants of a given Quebec locality. The genius of Louis Bilodeau resided in this incredible capacity to relax the atmosphere and to let the forefront of common mortals, to replace the people as the engine of his own culture, playing a role both erased and acting of master of ceremonies.

- Les Colocs's first and only music video from their sophomore album "Atrocetomique", "Bonyeu" (aka "Bon Yeu") was released in March of 1996 to immediate critical acclaim. Band leader and film director André Fortin was granted a $20,000 budget by major record label BMG Musique Quebec to put together this music video, of which 70% of the funding ($14,000) went directly into the hands of Quebec welfare recipients. Andre Fortin hired 140 unemployed citizens to appear in the music video, at $100 per person, each holding letter cards making up the lyrics of the song, which dealt with unemployment. To round off the budget, Andre Fortin then hired recipients of Canada Employment Insurance Benefit for post-production work. The music video was partly filmed at the ruins of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, located on Saint-Lawrence Boulevard in Montreal (right behind "Suite 2116" in the Godin Building where Les Colocs initially formed, practiced and lived). Other parts were filmed atop of the Mount Royal Observatory, under the steps of the "Mount-Royal Chalet". BMG Musique Quebec went through turmoil shortly after granting the budget for this music video and froze all band accounts, which is why this remained the only music video produced from Les Colocs' "Atrocetomique" album, and one of the last allocated release through the record label.
