Of course, his most famous role was that of the funny Elvis Gratton in \u201c<em>Elvis Gratton<\/em>\u201d, which was directed by the highly talented (and late) Mr. Pierre Falardeau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi appreciated Mr. Poulin&#8217;s talent when she used to watch TV (the last time was over 3 or 4 years ago). In an older post honouring New Brunswick&#8217;s late yet great Ms. Viola L\u00e9ger (shown below), she introduced her readers to the hilarious Elvis Gratton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here he is again as her way of paying tribute to Mr. Julien Poulin. The <em>YouTube<\/em> scene below lasts only 0.45 minute. In it, the cute Elvis Gratton tries to explain what is a \u201c<em>Canadian fran\u00e7ais<\/em>\u201d or a \u201c<em>Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/em>\u201d to a European tourist on an airplane. It is very complicated :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi sends her heart to your family, Mr. Poulin. As for you, she will say: &#8220;<em>Merci Mounsieur pour votre oeuvre<\/em>&#8220;! Yes, many thanks for your impressive career AND immense talent! Qu\u00e9bec (+ Canada) would have surely not been the same without you&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Elvis Gratton - Canadien fran\u00e7ais qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois... whatever\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lZS7sOOpELI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Je n&#039;aurai pas le temps&quot; (Michel Fugain) - Sous-Titres Fran\u00e7ais\/Anglais - French\/English Subtitles\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWVQNV9D6bc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bambi-039-s-afkar wp-block-embed-bambi-039-s-afkar\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"PDLJnF79BH\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2023\/01\/29\/ms-viola-leger-good-bye-and-thank-you-madame\/\">Ms. Viola L\u00e9ger: good-bye and thank you, &#8220;Madame&#8221;!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Ms. Viola L\u00e9ger: good-bye and thank you, &#8220;Madame&#8221;!&#8221; &#8212; Bambi&#039;s Afkar\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2023\/01\/29\/ms-viola-leger-good-bye-and-thank-you-madame\/embed\/#?secret=CLzUlPdx6S#?secret=PDLJnF79BH\" data-secret=\"PDLJnF79BH\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/heart.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31132\" style=\"width:234px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/heart.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/heart-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada, and the world lost a GREAT actor.
