Description

Until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s English-speaking Quebecers seldom thought of themselves as a minority and the Quebec government had little influence on their lives. Over the last generation their situation has been totally transformed, as Quebec governments have sought to promote the French language, to reform education and social policy, and to influence the Quebec economy. Quebec's dissatisfaction with its status in Confederation and the growth of the sovereignty movement have also placed the interests of the English minority at risk. While many English-speaking Quebecers have responded by migrating to other provinces, most have stayed in Quebec and tried to adapt to their new circumstances.
