In English-speaking Canada, why is French the only official language in the largest province?

Because the French first occupied Quebec. Therefore, in this area of Quebec, French descendants account for more. In this case, Quebec is unwilling to use English as their subject. It is also because they think they are descendants of the French that they should speak French. In fact, Quebec has always been unwilling to obey the management of the British. It can also be seen from speaking French that Quebec has always had independent thoughts.

The geographical location of Quebec is very important. In the era of great navigation, entering the inland of Canada from Europe, including the five famous freshwater lakes, must be traced back to the west from the St. Lawrence River. On the other hand, Quebec is located at the intersection of the St. Lawrence River and mainland Canada. In other words, whoever can control Quebec can control the land west of the St. Lawrence River in Canada. In Europe and America, Quebec has a famous title-Gibraltar in North America.

Of Quebec's more than 8 million people, 80% are of French descent, and they are closely related to France as a whole. Quebec is not interested in English-speaking Canada, and has always wanted to leave Canada and establish a French-speaking country. For this reason, Quebec often votes. 1980 did it once, and the most famous one is undoubtedly 1995+00.30 this time. On this day, the whole of Canada was on tenterhooks. They are worried that if Quebec really stands on its own feet, Canada will lose its eastern seaport.

The result of the vote also surprised Canada in a cold sweat: only 50.6% people opposed Quebec's independence, only one percentage point more than 49.4% in favor of Quebec's separation from Canada. In any case, Quebec was saved. Canada can't let Quebec go, just as America can't let California go.
