What Discover Canada says about Quebec

Discover Canada places Quebec in Central Canada and says most people there live along or near the St. Lawrence River and speak French as their first language. It names forestry, energy and mining as important industries, calls Quebec the main producer of pulp and paper and of hydro-electricity, and describes Montreal as a city known for its cultural diversity. The history chapters give Quebec a long story: Champlain built a fortress at what is now Quebec City in 1608, the British defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham in 1759, and the Quebec Act of 1774 restored French civil law while keeping British criminal law. The Constitutional Act of 1791 created Lower Canada, later Quebec, and Quebec was a founding province in 1867. In the chapter on modern Canada, the guide describes the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s and the sovereignty referendums of 1980 and 1995, both defeated.
