The Province of Québec is the largest Province or State of any type in North America, with it being a Province that is wealthy in natural resources and its industries of which it is also a Province that is with a culture that is wealthy and it is also a culture that speaks French as its first language and whose majority is Roman Catholic.
This Province has long had a history which was written in the form of French that was spoken by Alexandre Dumas and Voltaire as well as Montesquieu, and it was in 1761 that France lost this Province as a part of what was Nouvelle France in what was the French Indian War. Now the Province’s master was Great Britain, and although the British won Québec the French language was allowed and the Roman Catholic Church was also allowed huge day to day influence on the people. The way of how people spoke in the Province in 1760 long remained the key foundation of language, in which to this very day that which is the Canadian form of this great language is what was Metropolitan French back then although some modifications have occured.
In 1837 a bloody uprising occured where those in the Province demanded an end to what was economic and political domination by Britain, and the uprising was put down but what was to be called The United Province of Canada was created out of Québec and what is now Ontario. This was all in a hope of unification and the creation of a representative government for both what was until then Upper Canada and Lower Canada, of which in 1867 the Confederation occured and Canada joined but as Québec and Ontario once they were re separated.
Canada has had four Prime Ministers who were ethnically French Canadian and the most important was Pierre Elliot Trudeau who was Prime Minister from 1968 to 1979 and from 1980 to 1984, and in 1969 the nation of Canada legally became bilingual but at the same time many radical French Canadians rose against the Canadian Government as well as the Province’s. For years a state of great crisis has damaged inter Canadian relations over who has a right to stay Canadian and who does not, while as for mass immigration to the Province it is to mention that so many have been made none welcome by this attitude. In recent years French Canadians or Canadiens as they are referred to as today have been recognized as a separate people within Canada, but so many other issues must still be dealt with.

Québec is 1,542,056 square kilometres in size and it is bordered by Ontario to the southwest and Manitoba to the West but passed all that is Hudson Bay, and Nunavut is to the north and northwest but also passed Hudson Bay as well as the Fury and Hekla Straits. Newfoundland & Labrador are located towards the Province’s northeast and east when to the southeast one finds New Brunswick, while to the south one finds those US States of Vermont and New Hampshire as well as The State of New York and Maine.
Map of the Province
The land of Québec is one that is dominated by the Canadian Shield, with that being a land of rocky terrains and forests as well as lakes besides rivers, and these areas are commonly known as the Canadian Outback and the majority of this setting in Québec is on what is called the Labrador Peninsula.
In dealing with the rivers of the Canadian Outback in Québec they include la Grande Rivière or the Great River and this is a river that runs through this peninsula’s northwest and ends in Hudson Bay, when Ungava Bay is in this peninsula’s north eastern section.
The mountain range of the Province that is the most recognizable is that of the Laurentian Mountains which run alongside those banks of the Saint Laurence River or le fleuve du Saint Laurent which face northwest, in which these mountains are some of Canada’s most beautiful alongside those Rocky Mountains in Alberta. These great mountains and the forests of that range have long been seen by the IOC as a potential place for the Winter Olympic Games, but so far the Winter Games have only come to Alberta and British Columbia. The highest mountain in Québec is not located in the Laurentian Mountains but on the Province’s border with Newfoundland & Labrador, and it is Mont d’ Iberville.
That which is the great Fleuve Saint Laurent runs from Lake Ontario and the 1000 Islands to the junction of the river with the Ottawa River or la Rivière des Outaouais, of which after that junction the river flows through an archipelago of islands and then this great river flows into a huge estuary. That estuary is where the river flows into Le golfe du Saint Laurent or the Gulf of Saint Laurence, of which the city of Ville de Montréal is located on one of those islands and it is named after a big mountain that dominates part of this island and is called Mount Royal.
The region that faces the river and the Laurentian Mountains is a land that is part of the Appalachian Region with it being a land of mountains and forests as well as valleys, of which these are like the Laurentian Mountains a setting of great mountains that run alongside the river and they are les Monts Notre Dame. Canyons and coves are also in this region but mainly at the very end of the region, which is a peninsula called Gaspésie and that is part of the Maritime Region of Canada.
Gaspésie is not only a land of coves but it is also one that is of cliffs, when as for those mountains of the peninsula they are those of les Chic-Chocs, and these mountains are as beautiful as those mountains of the Laurentians and Les Chic-Chocs are a continuation of Les Montes Notre Dame. Rivers flow into Le fleuve Saint Laurent from both les Chic-Chocs and Les Monts Notre Dame, and they irrigate what are the fertile lands of what is jointly known on either bank as The Saint Laurence Valley or la Vallée du Saint Laurent in which and this is what is recognized as the most important farming region in eastern Canada. One of the most beautiful Rocks in all North America which is in a bay or a cove is the rectangle shaped Percé Rock, which lies facing the town of Percé which is one of North America's most picturesque locations.

The huge Île de Anticosti is off of the far eastern coastal areas of the Province which is a small strip of land that is between those settings of the Gulf and the Labrador half of Newfoundland & Labrador, of which that island has forests and it is Québec’s largest island.
La rivière Saguenay is a Fjord that is further north of Ville de Quebec and it is home to the metropolitan area of Saguenay-Lac Saint Jean, in which Lac Saint Jean is a lake from where this Fjord begins and it is legendary in many poems and fairy tales that were written about Le fleuve Saint Laurent and all that lie on its banks. “Chicoutimi” serves as the centre of this metropolitan area which includes a bay called Baie de Ha-Ha, of which this bay is at the end of the Fjord which flooded in 1996 and 1988 and that tragedy is commemorated by a triangular shaped monument to the victims.
This all was originally named by local aborigines with Ha-Ha being an aboriginal name, and they named it Saguenay after a Kingdom that was as they stated “To the north and of Blonde men who travelled on Dragons” in which of course these people were talking about the Vikings in Newfoundland who supposedly travelled up le fleuve Saint Laurent and discovered the Fjord.

The Ottawa or la Rivière des Outaouais flows into le fleuve Saint Laurent after irrigating a fertile valley that is called la Vallée des Outauais in French and Canada’s capitol city of Ottawa is on that river, with la Rivière de l'Gateneau being the main tributary of the river from within Québec as a Province. A waterfall lies on the river that is called the Rideau Falls which has a rock in between the two sections of the falls which was where the modern Town Hall {which is no longer used} was built, with a Canal named the Rideau Canal connecting the city of Ottawa with Kingston on Lake Ontario since 1857.

The animals of the Province include the Moose and Caribou when the Deer is also common, while as for the Fox and Beaver as well as Badger and Raccoon they are also common alongside the Skunk and the Otter including what is the Grey Wolf. The Polar Seal is also common alongside the Bear in which sadly so many of these animals are hunted and many people demand that such attitudes stop or the animals will be extinct in the near future, in which migrant Birds like the Geese as well as the many Ducks of the Province are legendary alongside the Woodpecker and Eagle alongside the Hawk and Falcon.
The Province of Québec is one of the original Provinces that made up Canada as a Confederation of British Colonies that united as Provinces under the Crown with a Parliament of its own, while each Province had its own Parliament.
The Flag of the Provence has a huge Cross in its centre which is White when the squares which the Cross makes are Blue with Fleur des Lils in White being in them, and the old Flag that was used by French speaking Canadians is similar to the current Flag although its Fleur des Lils are at the edges and pointing inwards. The Cross of this great Flag is framed by a border of Gold colour with a design of three slanted Red stripes and a single red dot next to it creating subdivisions, in which his Flag has a frame surrounding it that is similar to what forms the Cross. However, next to each of the three stripes one finds a setting of seven dots and a huge design of the Sacred Heart stands in the middle of this great Flag which influenced the final creation of an accepted flag for the largest Canadian Province.

A Human Rights Tribunal also exists in the Province as well as an Administrative Tribunal, and the Privy Council of Canada hears all final Appeals that can not be heard by the Court of Appeals.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Gendarmerie Royale du Canada is the national Police Force that enforces Law and Order in each Province, but Québec has a Police Force that enforces all Law and Order that is not enforced by the RCMP. This is la Sûreté du Québec {Québec Provincial Police} and it enforces all investigations of murder and fraud as well as kidnapping and organized crime within the Provence, when the RCMP investigates cases that cross Provincial lines or cross the border with Nunavut which is set by open water.
The Province is divided into subdivisions which are at the Regional and Supralocal as well as the Local Levels as well as administrative units for First Nation Lands, in which these are 17 administrative regions at the Regional Level and 86 Regional Council Municipalities or RCM and 2 Metropolitan Communities at the Supralocal Level.

The Province is with an economy that is one of the greatest in Canada let alone all North America and it all began with those first French settlers developing the Fur Trade, of which Aerospace and Information Technological Software as well as Multimedia Software development are the main industries of the Province. The Province is a leader in Mining, with Gold and Iron being important while as for Timber and Fishing as well as that which is the manufacturing of Pulp and Paper they are just as important for the Province. As for the Agri-food industry it is also a leading industry for the Province of which Foodstuffs and Beverages from the Province are sold throughout Canada, and Maple Syrup is also a huge product alongside Dairy Products. Science and Medical research are also important for the Province, and this industry allows the Province's Universities and Laboratories to lead so many others of North America.
The manufacturing of Airplanes is also a major industry alongside Construction and ever since the beginning the Province has been one that leads in Shipping as well as Fur Trapping, in which Hydroelectricity is a big industry in the Province and the biggest dam in all eastern Canada is that of the Daniel Johnson Hydroelectric Power Plant on that which is the Manicouagan River or La Rivière Manicouagan. Oil and Natural Gas are also important for the Province, and Oil is drilled in the Labrador Sea and in Ungava Bay for the Province when Natural Gas is drilled in those areas of the Canadian Outback.

The Province is served by a network of Railroads and Highways that run from Ontario to New Brunswick through its areas alongside Le fleuve Saint Laurent, in which the Saint Lawrence Seaway also serves as a network of communications for the Province while the Internet is also vital to how communications are conducted in the Province alongside Telephones and Telegraphs. The Province has well built bridges with one serving Ville de Québec that is similar to the Fifth of Fife Bridge in Scotland, while another great Bridge serves Île de Montréal and it looks like the Queensburrough Bridge in New York City.
The two greatest Bridges of the Province
Sadly, Québec suffered an economic decline beginning in the 1970s due to Socialist failures and Québec was for so long on the threat of becoming Canada’s most indebted Province and economically declined Province but then Capitalist ideas were developed and today the Province is at par with the economic GNP of Japan.
Ville de Montréal is the center of all Finances in the Province with the Stock Exchange that is La Bourse being set in the city alongside some of Canada's biggest Banks and Trading Firms, making this city as vital as New York City and Chicago although Chicago is in decline because of its homegrown ills.

Tourism is vital in Ville de Montréal and especially when dealing with the Ski Resorts of the Province and the so many attractions of Ville de Montréal as a city and Ville de Québec, of which the Casino of Montréal is located on Île de Sainte Hélène and it was built out of what was a Pavilion that was built for Expo 67 which honoured Canada's 100th anniversary.

The Province having constant contact with the United States through the States of Vermont and The State of New York as well as New Hampshire allow it to always have connections with industries in Boston and New York City, and Wine production in Vermont is now allowing the Province a closer market in Wine purchasing.
Ville de Montréal’s Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport is Canada’s second busiest Airport in dealing with its eastern Provinces, and it is located at Laval with the Airport being the same that greeted visitors to Expo 67 and the Olympic Games.

The people of the Province are a unique breed as so many are of origins in those lands of ancient France that are Brittany and Normandy as well as La Aquitaine and the Paris Basin, while many of these settlers from what was then Renaissance Era France intermarried with the First Nations who are the Mohawk and the Algonquin. This allows so many in the Province to have First Nation origins, besides ethnic French origins.
These people are now classified as Canadiens {Masculine} or Canadiennes {Feminine} in French even though that was before recent times when for so long they were the French Canadians, and it is important to mention that this Provinces majority population includes those of origins in the British Isles who live on Île de Montréal. They are of origins in both Ireland and Scotland as well as both England and Wales, and they are also classified as Canadians in English.
The term overall of Canadian in English and Canadien or Canadienne in French is being used when dealing with any of those ethnic European populations who lived in the Provinces of what became Canada in the year 1867, of which this includes those peoples of old Acadia and Newfoundland.
Those First Nations of the Province are the Algonquin and Mohawk when dealing with the Province’s two largest First Nation groups, while they are also Inuit who live in the far north or Québec du Nord as it is called in French.
Minorities in the Province who are not Canadiens or Canadiennes are those who are Chinese and people from the Indian Sub Continent as well as Italy, when these also include Japanese as well as Vietnamese and Lebanese including Syrian and Jordanian as well as Iraqi and Egyptian Arabs and Persians when many Greeks as well as ethnic Russians and Romanians also live in the Province. These people live on Île de Montréal, and it is to mention that one of the wealthiest Jewish communities in Canada lives on the island. People from España and México as well as Cuba and Argentina including Venezuela and Colombia as well as Chile live on Île de Montréal, while as for Brazilians and actual Portuguese they also live on the island alongside ethnic Jamaicans and Haitians including people from El Salvador as well as Costa Rica.
The Province is Canada’s only solid Roman Catholic Province, of which it is in Québec that the Roman Catholic Church has a strong position of power and influence although there is a freedom of religion in Canada in which because of freedom of religion and many tragic sex scandals the Church in Canada is as much endangered as it is in the United States. The See of all Catholics in Canada is he who is the Archbishop of Ville de Québec, while Ville de Montréal has an Archbishop making him also a Cardinal.
The most impressive Catholic building built in the Province is La Basilique Notre Dame de Montréal which was built with influences from that mighty Cathedral of Paris, but with other settings that would make it not exact. The dual Bell Towers are of similar design of those of Paris’s mighty structure but in the beginning they were small, and this structure was built facing the original core of the city which is La Place d’Armes.
The old structure of what was to be this Parish was of earlier Gothic design and with a single Bell Tower, with that one being demolished and the new one being dedicated while the Basilica was meant to be as the then main Church for all Catholics in the areas of the Saint Laurent up river from Ville de Quebec. However, this was never to be home to a Bishop although the Archdiocese was designed for Ville de Montréal in 1836 and that was to have its center at Saint Jacques Cathedral while the structure was unfortunately never to be a Basilica until 1982 when Jean Paul Deux {John Paul 2nd} came to Canada.
The interior is a vast mosaic of Gothic settings in its Altar with Statues of the Prophets being in a row of beautiful Gothic Niches, while surrounding the Holy statue of Christ dying on the Cross are statues of Moses and Aaron as well as the Coronation of Mary all in Gothic Niches. The elaborate arch setting of the nave is Neo Gothic and the artwork on the roof is also Neo Gothic., and the building’s interior also has a variety of Chapels when Canada’s largest Pipe Organ is in the Basilica and above the main entrance of the building. Two tiers of beautiful side balconies that are gilded are on the sides of the interior, with a huge pulpit with a spiral staircase being set dominating the interior’s left side balconies.
It was in this very Holy Place that some special events occured in Ville de Montréal’s history and one was when the Queen of Canadian Singers Céline Dion married the Love of Her Life René Angélil, when it was also within the Basilica that former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau had his funeral.

Those First Nations of the Province are the Algonquin and Mohawk when dealing with the Province’s two largest First Nation groups, while they are also Inuit who live in the far north or Québec du Nord as it is called in French.
Minorities in the Province who are not Canadiens or Canadiennes are those who are Chinese and people from the Indian Sub Continent as well as Italy, when these also include Japanese as well as Vietnamese and Lebanese including Syrian and Jordanian as well as Iraqi and Egyptian Arabs and Persians when many Greeks as well as ethnic Russians and Romanians also live in the Province. These people live on Île de Montréal, and it is to mention that one of the wealthiest Jewish communities in Canada lives on the island. People from España and México as well as Cuba and Argentina including Venezuela and Colombia as well as Chile live on Île de Montréal, while as for Brazilians and actual Portuguese they also live on the island alongside ethnic Jamaicans and Haitians including people from El Salvador as well as Costa Rica.
The Province is Canada’s only solid Roman Catholic Province, of which it is in Québec that the Roman Catholic Church has a strong position of power and influence although there is a freedom of religion in Canada in which because of freedom of religion and many tragic sex scandals the Church in Canada is as much endangered as it is in the United States. The See of all Catholics in Canada is he who is the Archbishop of Ville de Québec, while Ville de Montréal has an Archbishop making him also a Cardinal.
The most impressive Catholic building built in the Province is La Basilique Notre Dame de Montréal which was built with influences from that mighty Cathedral of Paris, but with other settings that would make it not exact. The dual Bell Towers are of similar design of those of Paris’s mighty structure but in the beginning they were small, and this structure was built facing the original core of the city which is La Place d’Armes.
The old structure of what was to be this Parish was of earlier Gothic design and with a single Bell Tower, with that one being demolished and the new one being dedicated while the Basilica was meant to be as the then main Church for all Catholics in the areas of the Saint Laurent up river from Ville de Quebec. However, this was never to be home to a Bishop although the Archdiocese was designed for Ville de Montréal in 1836 and that was to have its center at Saint Jacques Cathedral while the structure was unfortunately never to be a Basilica until 1982 when Jean Paul Deux {John Paul 2nd} came to Canada.
The interior is a vast mosaic of Gothic settings in its Altar with Statues of the Prophets being in a row of beautiful Gothic Niches, while surrounding the Holy statue of Christ dying on the Cross are statues of Moses and Aaron as well as the Coronation of Mary all in Gothic Niches. The elaborate arch setting of the nave is Neo Gothic and the artwork on the roof is also Neo Gothic., and the building’s interior also has a variety of Chapels when Canada’s largest Pipe Organ is in the Basilica and above the main entrance of the building. Two tiers of beautiful side balconies that are gilded are on the sides of the interior, with a huge pulpit with a spiral staircase being set dominating the interior’s left side balconies.
It was in this very Holy Place that some special events occured in Ville de Montréal’s history and one was when the Queen of Canadian Singers Céline Dion married the Love of Her Life René Angélil, when it was also within the Basilica that former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau had his funeral.

The Catholic Church sent missionaries to North America and one of them was Issac Jogues with him working with the Mohawk and him being kidnapped by hostile warriors in which his hand was horribly mutilated, of which Jogues escaped and made his way to the island of Manhattan. There the Netherlands built a settlement after buying the island and developing a colony in defiance of France, and because of the Netherlands being in alliance with France against the Spaniards in war Jogues was able to get back to Québec via Acadia and many Mohawk began to believe that he was a bringer of Magic. Jogues was to bring fear to many but when sickness and famine came to so many Mohawk they blamed him for all of their sufferings, and cruelly put him to death.
Jogues was to be honored as The Apostle of the Mohawk and he was to be canonized in 1930 alongside six others as the North American Martyrs, with him being honored all over the present day State of New York besides Québec.

Anglicans and Presbyterians as well as Lutherans live in the Province and especially on Île de Montréal when members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Jehovah’s Witnesses also live on that same island whille Buddhists and Hindus as well as Moslems also live on the island of which this is all alongside Greek and Russian Orthodox Christians as well as East Orthodox Christians.
Canada is constitutionally a bilingual nation with French being the second of those constitutional languages of the nation while the Queen’s English is the first, where in dealing with that which is the most recognizable French language dialect in Canada it is the “Québécois” dialect in which this is a dialect that is set in the French of pre 1761 AD. That was when France lost Canada to Britain in the so called French Indian War, although it is also based in English words and Algonquin originated words. That is due to English influences over the years after the events of 1761, as well as influences from Ireland in how English is spoken in the land of Erin of which those influences from the Algonquin from those days of Canada’s French Colonial era continue in the language as it is spoken in Canada.
