'''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. Most commonly, a person has simply not used their English in such a long time and gets so suddenly surprised to be aboard in English that they don't find their words anymore, which will be even more of a fact in the rural areas while the elderly are simply more used to speak in their old local dialect which are about to become extinct.
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.
