How does Quebec differ from Ontario and other Canadian providences?

Answer 1

Quebec loves le hockey and le Tim Hortons and gets tired of l'hiver, the rest of Canada loves hockey and Timmies and gets tired of winter.

Answer 2

In many ways they're similar. Both are provinces of Canada. First Nations peoples were in both provinces when the French and the English came to North America to explore and eventually settle. The French are considered to be the European founding nation of Quebec, while the English are so considered in Ontario. Both provinces have attracted many subsequent waves of immigration from around the world, during the past 100 or so years.

In Quebec, the first official language is French, while it is English in Ontario (although Ontario offers many services in French too.)

Being of French origin, Quebec provincial law is based on the French civil code, while Ontario's provincial law is based on British common law.

Answer 3

Aunt Carolyn has said it best. Was not going to add anything, except I saw Kent's message.

Dude, if you are going to tell off the person for misspelling "province" you should really spell it right yourself - too funny!

I'm from the Laurentian area of Quebec, and there are pockets of English here and there in Quebec (Candiac, Oka, Brownsburg, Morin Heights) and Quebec City is pretty bilingual to accomodate tourists, but Kent is right about most of the rest of the province not speaking anything but French.

Answer 4

In Quebec they speak french instead of english

taxes are higher

It feels like Europe

The flag of Quebec is everywhere and there is a Quebecois identity

I.e. nobody from Manitoba goes abroad and says I'm from Manitoba not from Canada

Answer 5

first of all, they are privinces, not providences.

Quebec is the heartland of French Canada, where 90 percent of people are French-speaking, and 90 percent of French-speaking Canadians live. Once you are outside of Montreal, almost anywhere you go French may be the only language you hear.

Answer 6

Its a french speaking province (english is not an offical language)

Answer 7

Yeah, that one's a mystery.

Are you in grade one, or American?
