This is kind of related to your comments about Portage and Main. Assuming your friends and family are mostly Québécois, it's not really surprising that you and they don't know the Brier and Portage and Main.
I find a lot of the broader Canadiana is fairly unknown in Quebec. And not just stuff that is language-specific. Even for example the stereotype that Canadians are very apologetic (they say sorry when you step on THEIR foot) would leave most Québécois puzzled I am sure. (Most Québécois people certainly don't do that BTW.
