Info about Quebec
Occupying over 1.5 million square kilometres of land - more than 15 per cent of Canada's total territory - Quebec is Canada's largest province. About six million of Quebec's total population of over seven million are French-speaking, making the province, which joined Confederation in 1867, the only predominantly francophone territory on the continental mainland and home to one of the largest French-speaking communities outside France.
It was the French who became the first Europeans to claim parts of the territory in the name of their country, beginning with explorer Jacques Cartier, who took possession of Gaspé when he arrived there on July 14, 1534. Less than a century later, French colonists settled in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, an area that remains home to nearly 80 per cent of Quebecers today.
Despite living in a province that is three times the size of France, almost half of Quebecers inhabit less than one per cent of the province's total land area. Most prefer city life, choosing to reside in a major metropolitan area like Montréal and the province's capital, Quebec City.
Although Quebec was one of the four founding provinces, some of its people seek independence from the rest of the country. In fact, the province's current government is formed by the Parti Quebecois, a political party dedicated to "separation" from Canada.
