How Does Quebec's Culture Affect Cultural Differences From Canada?

Improved Essays
Canada is a multicultural country, and it is made up to ten provinces and three

administrative regions (Lecture Jan. 6). The largest province in Canada is Quebec. There

are 7,903,001 people living in this province. Most people are speaking French because of

francophone. When people first time visit to some cities in Quebec, they will think this is

a strong national spirit province. It is similar to some national minorities in China, such

as Mongolia, the Yi nationality, the Bouyei nationality, and so on. Quebec thinks it has

own society because it has different religious belief, different official language, different

culture, and different history. If Quebec separates from Canada, this situation will cause

inconvenience for Canadians, trigger war, and influence

In Chinese, we call this situation is “More harm than good”.

Canadian economy will also be affected by Quebec separates from Canada

peacefully. Oil is the most important industry in Canada, and agricultural is the second

important industry. Quebec has fertile agricultural. It products fruits, vegetables. Maple is

a character in Canada. Maple syrup is from maple. 80% maple syrup is made up from

Quebec, and maple syrup is a symbol in Canada (Lecture Feb. 8). For other counties,

maple syrup is a Canadian symbol as well. Most people know that maple syrup is made up from Canada, but not everyone knows Quebec products most maple syrup in each

year. Maple syrup influences Canada. Similarly, Quebec influences Canada as well.

To sum up, many politicians will use method to win whatever they want, but

sometimes they may forget what do they citizens want. Some politicians want to get right

for their people, but actually they win the benefit for themselves. Most people in the

world are peacekeepers, so they do not want split. They want their peace home. Peace

keeping is the most job for politicians, and they must help their people to get what they

    The 1995 population likely had fewer citizens who were opposed to Quebec sovereignty, as logically, these would have been the people to leave the province. In fact, this pattern still holds true in more modern times. After the 2013 election of the Parti Québécois government, a political party which is known for its support of sovereign Quebec, an estimated 42 percent of anglophones considered leaving the province (“Anglos Considered”). Clearly, after the Quebec society faces a political factor which supports the movement for Quebec sovereignty, those who are not vehemently loyal to Quebec or French culture are hesitant to…

    However, as the French Canadians became proud of their accomplishments, their resentment towards English Canada grew, further impacting French-English relations. They viewed the lack of French-Canadian representation in the federal government as a personal offense. In addition, they were forced to speak English in their work place and in stores. And so, once again, French-Canadians believe that the only way for this injustice to stop is for Quebec to become its own independent nation.…

    French – English Relations in Canada RenéLévesque was quite fond of using analogies and metaphors to describe political issues. One such example was when he compared the Canadian French-English relations to an unhappy marriage. Honestly, there was no better way of describing the issues between the two and the stages that they went through. Suppose that English Canada was the husband and French Canada was the wife.…

    As you have been reading through my recipes, you have probably noticed that I use maple syrup quiet a bit as my sugar of choice for some of my dressings and for caramelization of nuts for my salads. I use maple syrup for its health benefits, as it still is a sugar, maple syrup holds more healthy minerals then most other sugars, one being antioxidants. As maple syrup is still in liquid form, the amount of water content in it is what holds the minerals, giving you more then others dried processed sugars. The maple syrup that I use comes from a little town in Ontario called Bancroft where my father Lyle Collins each year in early spring goes out and taps maple trees around his property…

    Quebec Separatist Movement

    • 1542 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Regardless of what you think of Canada, there is simply no denying that Quebec has a very deep and rich history that has forged the country to what it is today. With that being said, French Canadians and Quebecers alike play a huge role in the history and development of Canada. Quebec would not be the same without Canada, and Canada would not be the same without Quebec. This is why the separatist movement is not only a threat to Canada, but to Quebec itself. The separatist movement in Quebec will not succeed because they are losing supporters, have a culture that is tied too well with Canada, will struggle to survive as an independent country, and a separation will cause geographical and economic issues.…

    Quebec Sovereignty Essay

    For Canada to hold on to its national unity, it is essential that all Canadians have equal access to English and French in any part of the country. Canadians have the inherent right to live anywhere in the country that they would like and should be able to communicate and receive services in any language of their choice. The issue of language rights is also solely a Quebec issue. The Government of Canada will also have to negotiate with Western Canada who has not been particularly supportive bilingualism. It is very important that Canada functions as an equally bilingual bicultural nation in all regions of the country, and not give special preference to French in Quebec because that would further isolate and divide Quebec’s relationship with Canada, and risk having even more ties cut.…

    Central to the separatist movement of the latter half of the twentieth century was the argument that Quebec needed to become an independent state in order to ensure the survival of the French language, uphold the integrity of Quebecois culture, and allow Quebec’s government to proficiently govern its own affairs. In the views of many, the fact that Quebec has managed to do these things in recent decades without sovereignty has diminished the need and legitimacy of calls for separation. In my opinion, these developments have indeed put to the lie the need for Quebec independence, for it is now apparent that independence is not a prerequisite of achieving these goals. That said, it does not necessarily put to the lie the legitimacy of independence, for the legitimacy of Quebec’s desire for independence is based on more than necessity alone. This essay will discuss how Quebec achieved each of the aforementioned feats without independence, in order…

    Since the adoption in 1971, the Multiculturalism policy has been greatly debated about it’s expediency in Canadian society.
