Of course... its still the “beautiful province” when all it said and done. Here is my tribute to it, the land of my birth:
O Québec
De la montagne à la Saint-Laurent
Des vallées de l’océan
Restez béni belle province!
Dieu brille sur tes merveilles
Sur vos lacs, les rivières et la neige de l’Arctique!
Vos villes et la langue d’or
Les lys de France ne se décolore pas de votre vue
Adorez votre beauté dans la chaleur du soleil
Votre splendeur révélé à la lumière de la lune
O Québec
Restez béni belle province!
Always wanted to visit Quebec City, it’s about as “European” a city as there is in North America.
I love Quebec - so many beautiful places - and its people - very friendly in my experience, even the francophones, especially if you make the effort to use what little French you may know. It’s a shame that decades of socialist policies and separatism have set its economy back so much, although Quebecois have only themselves to blame for that, of course.
