Abstract
The contemporary conflict between the province of Quebec and the federal government in Canada has become a global focus. Quebec is inhabited by a majority group of French speakers whose ancestry is rooted in Quebec, whose historical religion is Roman Catholicism, and who are known collectively (in French) as Quebecois. The conflict involves Quebec’s claim to special recognition as a separate entity- nation or a distinct society with Canada, this claim clashes with the rights of individuals to express themselves in the official language (French or English) of their choice and also puts in the idea of a national Canadian identity. Secondary sources of data which are from the literature of various sources were carefully reviewed. Group theory was carefully selected and deployed for the purpose of analysis. Findings show that the advent of the Europeans annihilated and swallowed the minority tribe who were the original inhabitants of Canada. The study recommends among other things: introduction of singular secular system, put an end to linguistic oppression and an abolishment of bill 101.
