Where is the center of French-Canadian culture?

Question

Where is the center of French-Canadian culture

Answer 1

Quebec.

After the British conquest of French North America, Montreal came more strongly under the influence of the English. Its intellectual center was (and still is) McGill University, an Anglophone institution.

by the 1960's (when I was a student at McGill) the Francophone population had been marginalized to such a degree that in a city with a majority French speaking population, english speakers dominated almost every institution of economic and civic life.

While Quebec City had similar problems the French population there had retained a greater influence and French culture received a greater degree of respect..

Answer 2

Center Of French Canadian Culture

Answer 3

First of all you need to become aware of the fact that there are 3 French cultures in Canada, not one!!! There is Québecois, of course, but also Acadian and Métis. Of the three, Acadian (centered in New Brunswick and the southerly parts of the Gaspé in Québec and a few remaining villages in Nova Scotia) and Métis (centered in certain towns in the Prairie Provinces) are much more unitary than are the Québecois (the display and flaunting of the Acadian tri-color with star is far more pronounced by that population than is the blue and white fleur-des-lys by Quebeckers), but you don't hear much about them because there is almost no separatist movement at present by these two French-speaking populations. The Acadian heritage is more from central and southern France; the Métis heritage is from 1600s and 1700s intermarriage between Plains Indians (in Canada known as "First Nations") and French trappers and traders.

The Quebecois on the other had originally came from northwestern France and in Québec there is such internal
infighting that one may say there are four or five distinct cultures (or cultural identities and thought) and centres for, much as there are several cultures and centres for them within the whole in Califiornia. For Quebec these are Montréal and Outaouais, Estrie, Quebec City, Gaspeise, and the rest, which may be generally defined as Pur Laine Rural (which is the most separatiste). These boundaries are not completely sharp-lined; there are areas near Quebec City and southward (the Beauce) that are more like Montréal/Outaouais in culture and some areas on the eastward regions of Montréal that are more like the Pur Laine Rural.
