Title
The Deeper Diversity of Quebec's English-Speaking Community: A Portrait of Quebec's Ethnocultural and Ethnoracial Anglophones
Abstract
A demographic overview of Quebec's English-speaking population. The author focuses on the gap in the population numbers of Anglophones based on diverging federal and provincial definitions of identification with language groups. Based on the federal use of "First Official Language Spoken", there are approximately 300,000 more individuals that would be regarded as Anglophones than under the Quebec definition which is based on mother tongue. Much of the difference is attributable to the way in which immigrants and their children are classified by the two levels of government. The author provides data on the ethnic origins, visible minority status and generational status of the 300,000 Quebecers that contribute to enhancing the demographic vitality of Quebec's English-speaking population.
