'''Quebec''' is the largest province of '''[[Canada]]''' and the second in population. The official language is French with its local dialect while English is in minority and more widely spoken by the border areas. English is known at a certain level by the population, most often by the young generation or the people working in constant contact with foreigners. Surprisingly as it may sound, for the majority of the population, English is rarely of daily use. The daily life, economical life are all lived in French and the size of the province has enable the fact that one can travel great distance without even having to speak English.
The province is bordered by [[Ontario]] to the West, the [[United States]] to the South ([[New York state|New-York]]/[[Vermont]]/[[New Hampshire]] and [[Maine]]), [[New Brunswick]] to the South-East and [[Labrador]] ([[Newfoundland and Labrador|NewFoundLand]]) to the East.
The vast majority of the population (and therefore the cities) are located in the southern part of the province by the shore of the St-Lawrence River. [[Quebec city|Québec]] is the Capital and administrative centre of the province also being the historic gateway to the northern part of the continent, it is the second city of Quebec and the seventh of [[Canada]] in term of population.
