They do to push through a referendum. The PQ is split. The more radical french nationalists and the more moderate, "we can be part of Canada if we get Autonomy, " people

Ok bud, literally every province has a different culture and several have different dialects of English, Quebec isn't all that special in those regards. Just because Northern New Brunswick is different from Southern New Brunswick doesn't mean the two should be separate provinces.

Ummm there are English schools there last time I checked, and Quebec isn't totally different, not everyone in New Brunswick speaks English either, nor in one of those prairie provinces that has a high population of French speakers.

The official language in Quebec is french. The people of Qubec are ethnically french. They speak english in school but it is taught as a foreign language. If you watch the Rogers Cup tennis tournament which is in Montreal they are speaking in french. In fact Montreal is the largest french speaking city in the world. Bigger than paris and french speaking.
