 Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quebec (pronounced [kwəˈbɛk] or [kəˈbɛk]) (French: Québec, pronounced [kebɛk]) is the largest province in Canada geographically, and the second most populous, after Ontario, with a population of 7,568,640 (Statistics Canada, January 2005).
Quebec is the only Canadian province where English is not an official language (at the provincial level), and it is one of only two provinces – in addition to the federal government – where French is an official language (the other, per the Constitution Act, 1982, is New Brunswick; Manitoba enjoys limited official bilingualism).
In 1774, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act that helped ensure the survival of the French language and French culture in the region; since it did not hinder Catholicism in Quebec, it was deemed as one of the Intolerable Acts that spurred the American Revolution.

The territory of Quebec is extremely rich in resources in its coniferous forests, lakes, and rivers—pulp and paper, lumber, and hydroelectricity are still some of the province's most important industries.

The bulk of the anglophone population of Quebec resides in the Montreal region, particularly in the West Island, where there is a well-established network of English-language educational, social, economic, and cultural institutions.
Quebec anglophones have at times been the centre of controversy, notably around Quebec's sign laws, which are considered by some to be discriminatory.
However, in almost all respects Quebec anglophones have far more legal protections and rights than the francophone minorities in other Canadian provinces, and very few non-Quebec francophones are able to live and work predominantly in their first language as easily as Quebec anglophones are able to.

Quebec is the only Canadian province where English is not an official language, and it is one of only two Canadian provinces where French is an official language (the other one being New Brunswick).
More than 90 percent of Quebec's area lies within the Canadian Shield, a large part of which was historically referred to as the Ungava Region.
Often known as "Bill 101", it defined French as the only official language of Quebec and is to this day still controversial and widely misunderstood inside and outside Quebec by the English speaking population.

A unique feature of Quebec is that the woman retains her maiden name when she marries.
