Has the French-Canadian identity been poorly preserved?

Answer 1

I think their identity is preserved quite well. The Quebec government is doing a lot to keep as much of the French-Canadian identity as they can. For one, every school in Quebec must have a certain amount of French classes. Also, if your parents have not gone to an English school somewhere inside Canada then you have to go to a French school in Quebec. There is only one English area worth mentioning, the West Island, in Montreal, is mostly English. Everywhere else though is mostly French. There is also a law that when you write something in public for everyone to see, the writing has to be much bigger in French than it is in English. Most people in Montreal can speak both French and English, quite a few of them can only speak French and very few of them can only speak English. Most people in Quebec that do not live in Montreal speak only French although a lot of them can speak French and English. Then there are the Inuits that can, of course, speak Inuktitut.

Answer 2

The idea that it needs to be preserved is ridiculous. It's like any other cultural identity, it changes with time. Sure, it's not the same as it was 50 years ago, but most cultures have changed over the years. So, no it has not been poorly preserved. It's just that some people can't let go of the past and blame others for normal changes.
