All the chats in Quebec

Quebec is one of the ten provinces that, together with the three territories, make up the thirteen federal entities of Canada. Its capital is the homonymous Quebec and its most populated city, Montreal. It is located in the east of the country, bordering the northwest and north with the Hudson Bay and the Hudson Strait, respectively, which separate it from Nunavut, northeast with Newfoundland and Labrador, to the east with the Gulf of San Lorenzo and New Brunswick, to the southeast with the San Lorenzo River that separates it from the United States, and to the south and southwest with Ontario. With 7 744 530 inhabitants.

In 2008 it is the second most populated entity - behind Ontario - and with 1 542 056 km², the second most extensive, behind Nunavut. Because of its language, culture and institutions, it forms a "nation within Canada." Unlike the other provinces, Québec has the only official language in French, and it is the only majority French-speaking region in North America. The French language enjoys legal protection and even the province has linguistic inspectors who review and control its use. The zeal of Quebecers by its language and its status as a linguistic minority in North America has reached certain political extremes, but also in its history the Quebecois people suffered periods of English repression and assimilation. The Quebec Independence Referendum of 1980 took place on May 20 of that same year and the independentists led by René Lévesque obtained 40.5% of the votes.

In the Quebec Independence Referendum of 1995, the pro-independence supporters were less than a percentage point in achieving it with 49.4% of the votes. On November 27,2006 the Canadian parliament, with the support of the ruling party, recognized the Quebecois as a nation within Canada united in an attempt to appease the secessionist desires of the independence parties, although it was in a cultural and social sense but not legal. In the Quebec general elections of 2012, the independent Quebecois Party, led by Pauline Marois, won the majority of seats in the National Assembly of Quebec, forming a minority government. In the election day's speech, the winner raised the possibility of convening a new referendum for independence by expressing her desire for Quebec to become an independent country and her conviction that this will happen: "We want a country. And we will have it.».
