        During the post-war period (1945-1970) birthrates in Quebec declined sharply while immigration increased rapidly until Allophones were more numerous than English speakers. Allophones became an important factor in the future of Quebec. If they integrated with the majority, they would strengthen the French language. Many were excluded from the Catholic (French) school system, creating a demographic time bomb that would have a profound impact on Quebec’s aspirations for independence.

        À propos

        Waves of Change is a 200-year oral history of Quebec’s English-speaking communities, recorded on the 50th anniversary of the FLQ crisis. Five episodes feature families that arrived in Quebec during successive waves of immigration. The historical Anglos pre-1945 – Colliding Solitudes; post-war Allophones 1945-70 – Le Vote Ethnique; the turbulent years 1970-1995 – Classe d’accueil; the new social contract years 1995-2010 – Crashing the Party; and recent arrivals 2010-20 – Invisible Hoops. The 54 interviews feature remarkably diverse, engaging and articulate eyewitnesses of Quebec history from an Anglo perspective. A special 6th episode features English-speaking communities from the Eastern Townships and West Quebec to the Gaspé and the remote Lower North Shore. These little-known communities have a fascinating story to tell about Regional Realities in Quebec.
