My family and I go there every year! It is similar to ACL in Austin, except fancier with more hands on activities. Most of the locals go here, along with some people who travel to Quebec exclusively for this purpose. There are a bunch of bands, and usually couches and carpets that the audience can sit on while watching the bands. Some of the performances are outside, while some of them are in tents to protect the audience from the wind and cold. There are also other booths, like shops and such. My dad and I went in one where they use a green screen to make it look like you’re at a concert!
There are many things that students can enjoy there. There’s many kinds of foods, like escargot, chocolate croissants, and french onion soup. As mentioned earlier, there is also a fancy castle hotel which people can stay in. You can visit stores there which sell all different kinds of products.
In Quebec, there are many family attractions, which include fancy family-friendly restaurants. There are lots of historical spots and museums, which the family can drop by to receive a quick history lesson. There’s also hotels all over, so you won’t have a hard time finding a place to stay.
I say that Quebec is a great place to visit, both historically and recreationally. See you there
The province of Quebec has been part of Canada since the very beginning. Quebec, originally a colony of France, is the only province in Canada with a predominantly french speaking population. Quebec is an important factor in Canada's diversity, as the culture in Quebec is vastly different than the rest of Canada. A fact that Canadians are proud of. However, many in Quebec see themselves as too different, in a sense, from the rest of canada, and believe that Quebec should become its own sovereign nation. The political party Bloc Quebecois has been trying to gain independence for Quebec since 1991 (Goldsworthy 10), although unsuccessfully. Canada needs quebec in order to keep the same amount of influence it has in the world,
In Canadian history, nationalism and sovereignty tend to be common themes prevalent since Confederation. A well-known example of this in Quebec was during the Quiet Revolution which strengthened the need for change through Premier Lesage’s reforms and in turn, developed a strong sense of nationalism in Quebec. In contrast to beliefs that the rapid modernization of the Quiet Revolution had a positive impact on Quebec, it rather had a negative impact on Quebec and its citizens and identity. The three consequences which arose in Quebec as a result of the revolution are the encouragement of separatism, the elimination of traditional values and roles and the establishment of powerful bureaucratic control. Quebec’s attempt to be more like the

Quebec was founded by French settlers during the 16th century. It was then conquered by the British (known as the conquest of New France in 1760). “The Philosophy of the Enlightment” allowed Britain’s victory to treat the French people with dignity as both nations were civilized societies (source?). The British allowed the French occupants to maintain cultural aspects such as language and traditions (source?). In effect, The Quebec Act was published in 1974, in efforts to ensure loyalty from the French as the British government worried that the remaining French people would support the American Independent War (source?).

The St. Lawrence boulevard is full of history. Before becoming the large and impressive street it is nowadays, this boulevard was the only path upon which travelers could get in and out of Montreal. In fact, this unique street served as a pathway to link the North and the South shore of the island, and consequently, it was a vital contributor to the development of Montreal . Any cargo or people coming from Europe would enter the port and from there, take the St. Lawrence road in order to reach their new settlement. In 1717, the French colony built defensive walls around what we now call the Vieux-Montréal . These walls only had one

The concept of recognizing Quebec as a distinct society is an idea that has been kicking around for some time, but just what does it mean and what are its broader implications? This paper will examine the origins of the term, what it means, and its historical context. It will then examine rival interpretations of federalism. The essay will conclude with an in-depth examination of the concept's involvement with the failed constitutional accords and the failed Quebec succession attempts.

Although I had been to Canada several times throughout my life I’ve rarely had the opportunity to travel outside of Ontario, only having gone to Montreal once or twice. Québec City seemed both intriguing as well as slightly concerning due to the predominant language of Québec being French, a language which I speak very little of. For me, as I read the Itinerary of the trip the one visit that stood out was the Citadel. The Citadel intrigued me due to the fact that Québec City was one of only two cities in North America that is still surrounded by fortifications, which meet at the strategically located military base. Also the idea that this fortress had at one point in time allowed Canada to control the St. Lawrence River, a river which I
