Quebec is the only Canadian province with a majority of French speakers. We held two referendums about separating ourselves from Canada to become an independant country, but both times, the answer was no, including a nail-biting 50.5% in 1995. Almost all of our electricity is made with hydroelectric dams. Our contribution to fast food is poutine (nothing to do with the russian president). Our cars only have license plates in the back, not in the front. We have our motto on our licence plates, "Je me souviens", which means "I remember".

The name Quebec comes from an Anishinabeg (Algonquin) word meaning "where the river narrows". That's because when you sail the St. Lawrence river upstream, the river narrows in front Quebec City.
