Join us as we learn about the special culture and history of Quebec. Quebec used to be a French colony. But it kept its French identity even after Britain took over Canada. We talk about the Quiet Revolution in the 1960s. This changed Quebec from a very religious society to a more secular one focused on progress.

We also discuss Quebec nationalism. Many people in Quebec don't feel fully Canadian. They want their own independent nation.
Quebec's culture is also unique in other ways. Their architecture, family life, language, and views on marriage are different from English Canada. For example, most people in Quebec just live together instead of getting officially married.

Overall, Quebec has developed its own identity within Canada. Many historical events shaped their values and perspectives. This is an interesting look at what makes Quebec stand apart.
