PTS: 1 DIF: Challenging92. ANS:

Answers will vary but should mention location, economy, culture, and arts and recreation.


Canada is home to several distinct ethnic groups: English-speaking Canadians, French-speaking Canadians, and Inuit. These groups have preserved their distinct cultures throughout Canada's history. For this reason, some Canadians feel more loyalty to their province than to the national government, which embraces all the separate peoples and cultures of Canada.


Possible answers: Agree: Quebec is culturally different from the rest of Canada. It has a different language and different customs. On its own it would not have to be taxed for services provided by the national government to other parts of Canada. Disagree: Quebec is important to the Canadian economy. Its French language and culture can be protected without secession. Just as the United States is home to many cultures, so can Canada continue to include its French-speaking population.
