I found this 1971 film in the library on DVD. It claims to be the best Canadian film of all time.
It is pretty good. Antoine is the owner of the general store in a small Quebec asbestos mining town who is also the town undertaker. The main character in the film is a teenage boy who works in the store and also serves as an altar boy. There is a character named Jos, a man with a lot of kids who hates the mine and runs off to the woods, and leaves that job as well. It ends in a tragedy rather abruptly. The DVD I checked out is in French, but is dubbed in English, and has English subtitles as well.
I thought it was good, but my favorite Canadian film is still Leolo.
