Quebec

Quebec

Canada is one of the most unique and diversified countries in the world. It

consists of ten provinces and two territories. All parts of Canada are interesting and

contain important details to them, however, Quebec's political situation is the most

controvercial of all. In all other parts of Canada, the main spoken language is english

and it creates no problem amongst its settlers in each province. In Quebec, the

situation differs. There is twenty four percent of a french population in all of canada,

and this population resides mainly in Quebec. this creates a issue between the French

and the English settlers because the English want the spoken language to stay english,

French still resided in these areas. New France stayed part of the British Empire and

they lived within their own laws and language and were aloud to practice Catholicism.

Due to being placed as a minority, the French refused to assimilate and thus, problems

began. During the American Revolutionary war, thousands of English speaking people

order to seperate the English form the French, upper and lower Canada was created.

English dominance was marked, and the French were mainly farners. In eighteen

hundred and thirty seven, a rebellion took place to make French assimilate into English

society, but the French at the same time wanted independence from Canada and did

not like that idea at all. The rebellion failed. During the confederation, federal systems

were introduced in eighteen hundred and sixty seven, and this isolated Quebec from
