The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that the uniquely Quebec version of The Simpsons -- dubbed in Québécois French and featuring local place names, politicians, current events and popular expressions -- has come to an abrupt end, leaving fans without their beloved adaptation. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says an on-line petition launched last week to save Les Simpsons has garnered more than 22,000 signatures as of Monday. Spearheaded by Joshua Biasotto, the petition calls on Disney+ Canada to ensure new seasons of the show on the streaming service are dubbed in Québécois. Télétoon, the television network owned by Corus Entertainment, did not renew the broadcasting rights in Quebec for The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad. Corus was responsible for dubbing the shows. And now, while the 37th season of The Simpsons is set to debut in the fall, the Québécois dub, which is one year behind and on its 36th season, is on hold. For its part, Corus said the cost of dubbing is not at the heart of its decision, but rather exclusivity. Corus's Julie Godon said in a statement, "With Disney+, among others, offering dubbed episodes, we no longer had exclusivity for The Simpsons for several years."
