It emerged in [[Quebec]] in the late 1950s in the [[Centre-du-Québec]] region, though its exact origins are uncertain, and there are several competing claims regarding its invention. For many years, it was used by some to mock [[Culture of Quebec|Quebec society]].<ref name="poutinedynamics"/> Poutine later became celebrated as a symbol of [[Québécois people|Québécois]] culture and the province of Quebec. It has long been associated with [[cuisine of Quebec|Quebec cuisine]], and its rise in prominence has led to its growing popularity throughout the rest of [[Canada]]. Annual poutine celebrations occur in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec City]], and [[Drummondville]], as well as [[Toronto]], [[Ottawa]], [[New Hampshire]], and [[Chicago]]. It has been called [[Canadian cuisine#National food of Canada|Canada's national dish]], though some critics believe this labeling represents [[cultural appropriation]] of the Québécois or Quebec's national identity.<ref name="poutinedynamics"/><ref name="DeSoucey2020"/> Many variations on the original recipe are popular, leading some to suggest that poutine has emerged as a new dish classification in its own right, as with [[sandwich]]es or [[dumpling]]s.<ref name="poutinedynamics"/>
