Document Summary
Quebec"s culture is largely derived from the historical experience of francophones living in. North america for over 400 years and of their being part of canada for more than 145 years. Quebec, while home to the largest francophone population outside of france, contains a minority composed of anglophones, whose mother tongue is english, and allophones, immigrants whose mother tongue is neither english nor french. This minority is concentrated in the montreal and gatineau areas. The quebecois whose first language is french represent the dominant demographic force in the province. In 1988 the zebra mussel gained a foothold in the. Great lakes, likely from having attached itself to ships from europe. Farmlands stretched in a continuous belt from quebec city to montreal. As in the feudal agricultural system in france, peasant farmers (habitants) worked the land, paying their lords (seigneurs) both in kind and in labour. Land hunger forced many french canadians to migrate.
