Quebecois are really proud of their heritage. Being the only french speaking province in north america, they are surrounded by this English invader trying to conquer the entire country. With a little bit less than 80% of the Quebec population having French as their mother language in 2006, this number keeps decreasing, especially on the island of Montreal. According to the "Office québécois de la langue française" (OQLF), the aging of the french speaking population as well as their low fecundity explains this decrease. Moreover, we can see more and more English speakers from the western provinces that migrate to Quebec, especially to Montreal, and keep English as their language. The worst of them are persons like me who's mother language is French, but speak it only 10% in here. Anyway, as time goes by, I try to use it more often.
