well the most part of the people call latin america to the nations located in the south of the USA borders. This countries have the mix of the portuguese and spaniards with the indians, And they are called latins because the roman influence in their lenguages, system of law, ethnicy etc etc. But what about Quebec, they are of french origin, another latin nation with roman heritage. Is quebec at least culturally latin america too?

Technically it is, but when talking about Latin America no one thinks about Haiti or Québec. That's why "Iberian America" would be a better name.
"This countries have the mix of the portuguese and spaniards with the indians"... well many countries in Latin America have a very large black population and almost none indian population (Brazil, Uruguay, Cuba, Dominican Republic...), not to mention the non-Iberian European immigration.
Latin America is definitly not the nations located in the south of the USA borders, there are plenty of countries that are on this situation and are not Latin Americans: Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana...

French Canada is very rarely included under the rubric "Latin America" but I have seen this usage by those wanting to include all of non-Anglo North America.

Politically - no (because it is not an independent country) but culturally - yes.
The best analogy is the autonomous Republic of Tatarstan in Russia. Culturally it is a Muslim/Tatar region but politically it is a part of Christian/Slavic Russia.

No...it's culture is French/English. It's located in Canada.
