Quebec francophones can have Scottish, Irish and English surnames. All those immigrants assimilated into the francophone majority. For 80% of the population, French is the first language though in real life its much higher.

Quebec in colonial times was Canada East and the British effort after the 1837 rebellions to suppress the French in Canada ended in failure, especially after the united Canadian colonies gained responsible government in 1848.

In the British North America Act of 1867, Canada East and Canada West were redivided into the separate present-day provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
