French Canadian

The divides between French Canadians and English Canadians has been present since their early settlements. Their tension certainly caused a lot of troubles as they both wanted power over the land they had colonized. In order to advance and move forward, and create a united country, they each had to compromise with one another, as well deal with the concerns of the lands’ original settlers, the Aboriginals, all of which led to multiple different Acts and treaties being created, setting out rules and

democracy. It is the diversity between English-speaking Canadians and French-speaking Canadians that will be focused upon in the following pages of this paper. Anglophone and Francophone Canadians are at odds. Historically, the tensions between these Canadians pre-dates the founding of this country. Culturally; language, beliefs, traditions and values differ between these people tremendously. Politically, there are differing views of the unified

“We do not need French of an Official Language, your pushing it onto us” (Will Ferguson, pg#365) Canada believes that they did not need French has an official language. Then they finally got elected to the Official Languages Act into the election, they got to have the right to use whatever language they wanted and then thought that they were getting the French language pushed onto them. The Official Languages Act finally got elected into the election for the first time ever by the liberal group

The Quebec Vexation The French speaking people of Quebec lived under heavy oppression in the 1950s and 60s. Many francophone people looking for work in Quebec cities were refused because of their French background. In areas such as Montreal, the francophone people were earning up to 50 percent less than their English speaking peers. There was a clear distinction between the quality of life for the English and the quality of life for the French. It was because of this distinction that the people

In the modern society, businesses tend to adopt persuasive marketing communication in consideration of various components, including behavioural economics, sociology and psychology. Most conspicuously, all of these essential elements to successful marketing influence one broad concept: consumer behaviours. Businesses that design their advertising strategies based on consumer behaviours often observe, examine and analyze the psychology of spending in an attempt to stimulate consumers’ interests and

Francophones In Canada have been given the collective right to education in French as per Section 23 in the Charter, which guarantees minority language educational rights to communities outside Quebec that are French-speaking.” However, even with this right, within some areas of Canada where French Language speakers are in the minority, Francophones have had to fight to have the schools to which they are entitled.

part of the strong tradition of Government in our country. Both my grandparents emphasized the importance of learning French to my parents, and them to me. While I never took French immersion, I always felt that French was a language I needed to learn in order to fully embrace my Canadian Citizenship. Through participating in the Explore Program, as well as extra-curricular French classes I have worked hard to develop my proficiency in my second language. I am proud to consider myself fluent, and

problems continually got worse until the only choice to some seem to be rebellion. There were several problems that lead to the rebellions of 1837-38. In Lower Canada there was the agricultural crisis that caused a large number of starvations, to the French and English political and social problems within the colony. There were several different reasons that caused the rebellion in Upper Canada but these caused were mainly rooted in

laws that have been implemented in Quebec today, the French language and its people would have truly suffered. In 1969, Canada officially became a bilingual country as a result of the Official Languages Act (OLA) (Laurendeau), to recognize the French-Canadian population that settled and expanded from Quebec in the 16th century (Behiels).

Chevrier argues that Bill 101 has had a positive effect. In Canada, and North America, French is a minority language.
