Document Summary
Chapter 5: french canada and the quebec question. Employing mother tongue figures, then we label the groups anglophone, francophone and allophone, the last being those with mother tongue other then. 57. 8% of people in canada had english as their mother tongue, 21. 7% of canadians had french as their mother tongue and 20. 6% had another mother tongue there is 6 million francophone, 650,000 anglophones and over one million allophones. 86% of francophone live in quebec, but about one million live outside of the province. Quebec is predominately french and outside of quebec is predominately english. Quebec francophone are located mostly in ontario and new brunswick. Two basic models with which to address the question of how to deal with the distinctiveness of french canada: Territorial principle- quebec is the homeland of french canada and gave that province power and resources to protect and promote its linguistic and cultural distinctiveness.
