  Quebec
Quebec’s principal islands are Anticosti, sterile and almost uninhabited, Bonaventure, an important fishing station to the east of Gaspe, and the Magdalen Islands, situated in the Gulf of St Lawrence, about 50 miles north of Prince Edward Island.
Quebec derives great importance from its fisheries, which are extensive and valuable, particularly those of the St Lawrence, which consist principally of cod, haddock, holibut, salmon, mackerel, shad, white fish, herrings, lobsters, and seals.
Quebec staple export is timber, the greater portion of the shipments reaching town from the Ottawa and St Maurice districts.

 Early Canada Historical Narratives -- UPPER CANADA'S LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORS AND THE COLONIAL OFFICE
When Governor Gore promptly appointed his own secretary to this position people in the province were disappointed for they knew the governor would exercise close control over the agent, monitored his every action and interpreted his reports to suit the interests of the governor and not necessarily those of the colony.
Governors were selected not because of any special aptitude for or knowledge about the colony but for reasons usually unrelated to the interests of the colony to which they were being sent.
Military governors had few political or diplomatic skills and they held the extreme views of their aristocratic Tory class which was that the finer things in life should be only for those with prestige, property and influence.

 Responsible Government - Quebec History
The Lieutenant-Governor (or the Governor General in the government of Canada) when forming the government (the cabinet or the executive council as it is sometimes called) appoints only such people that have the support of the majority (the confidence) of the House.
In the absence of Responsible Government, such as in the period of 1791 to 1848, the Governor General called on anyone he wished to be appointed to their council, as the government was then called.
Favourites of the Governor were inevitably appointed and they had not necessarily the support of the elected house, and even less the support of the people.

All executive power is theoretically reposed in the Queen, who is represented in Canada by the Governor General of Canada, the lieutenant governors of the provinces, and the territorial commissioners.
Today, virtually all of the Queen's Canadian duties are performed by her representatives in Canada, the Governor General and the Lieutenant Governors of the provinces, though occasionally the Queen's authority is appealed to by Canada's partisan political leaders.
A key moment was the Queen's visit to Quebec City in 1964 when she was greeted by anti-monarchist demonstrations and the route of her procession was lined with Quebecers showing their backs to the monarch.

 $1.10 per Canadian - The Cost of Canada’s Constitutional Monarchy
Lieutenant Governors’s offices were assisted in their service to the Crown and so to Canada’s 2001 population of 31,081,900 at a cost to the federal government of 7.2 cents per person.
The reason for this is not that Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor incurs greater expenses than her colleagues, but that every expense is billed to her office, expenses which in many provinces would be absorbed in other budgets, and neither allocated or reported in terms of a vice-regal expense.
By adding the cost of the Governor General's Office, the Official Residences of The Governor General, the federal and provincial expenditures on behalf of the Lieutenant Governors and the cost of Homecomings to Canada by members of The Royal Family, the total cost of maintaining Canada's constitutional monarchy can be determined.

 The Rise of Provincial Flags
Quebec, the other colony which remained loyal (the British Army was based in Québec), was ultimately to demonstrate a richer diversity of idiosyncratic flags than any other province.
Indeed, with the exception of Nova Scotia, which continued the occasional use of its armorial banner, and Quebec, where many popular flags competed in a fervent vitality, the provinces were generally content to continue with one of the versions of the Red Ensign, or, with the coming of the twentieth century, the Union Flag.
Certainly, a nonexclusive list of the lovelies would have to include those of Scarborough, Québec, Orillia, Peterborough, and Richmond, B.C.
