Quebec, that’s America in French.

Quebec is NOT a piece of France in America.

That’s the mistake lots of people make.

I know what I’m talking about. I’m in Quebec.

Quebec was pretty disconnected from France for a long time, and it was not until very recently with Charles de Gaulle that the friendship started again.

Now Quebec is more influenced by the European way of living, but there is still a very "American" way of life.

Yes, Quebec was disconnected from France for centuries. Totally agree with that.

However, a European way of living in Quebec? Not sure, I agree with that. Sure, there are more bakeries than in neighboring Ontario, but it pretty much stops there.

Wasn't de Gaulle banned from Canada _forever_ the one time he came to visit Quebec?
