    In the story “My Manitoba Heritage”, writer “Gabrielle Roy” family initially settle in Saskatchewan and then to Alberta, but the street of Deschambault, Manitoba was a place, where 1/3 flavour was found from Quebec and 1/3 from France.

    While surveying the historical and cultural context of Quebec as well as the various language debates that have occurred over time, one may notice that certain themes continue to reemerge. Reoccurring themes such as French-Canadian identity, survival, nationalism, and sovereignty span a large period of history and can be applied in both a modern and historical context and are applicable to many peoples, both francophone and others, who have lived in Quebec and in other French speaking areas across Canada. The concept of French-Canadian identity is one that has been constantly evolving, and for that reason it is worthy of much closer examination.

Trying to get someone who doesn't benefit from the creation of the wall to pay for the wall is nearly impossible, and if it does, what benefits will America have to give Mexico for the wall?…
