What does this mean?
Joyeux Calvaire
Typical Canadian French colloquial, a language which uses religious concepts as curses and has a fondness for antiphrastic expressions.
Literally: 'Merry Calvary', which sounds weird.
Actually, it means 'bloody mess'.
In France, it would rather be some harsh profanity like "foutu bordel" or "sacrée merde".

Marci buckets.
Just getting into "Les Cowboys Fringants". Great music, but some of their lyrics are frickin hard to understand. At least they're not so bad as "les colocs".
