Quebec

en-proper noun

Quebec (usually uncountable, plural Quebecs)

Canada

Quebec
en:Quebec City
en:Saint Lawrence River

From French Québec, from Algonquin kepék (“(it) narrows”). Cognate with Mi'kmaq gepe'g (“plug”), and Mi'kmaq Kepinkek; compare Proto-Algonquian *kepahikani (“obstruction”). It originally referred to the area around Quebec City where the Saint Lawrence River narrows to a cliff-lined gap. The name of the city preceded that of the province.

And of course, in July 1967 De Gaulle did come to Canada. He made his speeches in Quebec, was enthusiastically received on the Chemin du Roy, shouted “Vive le Quebec libre” in Montreal and, on learning of the reaction of the Canadian government, returned to Paris without going to Ottawa.

(Canada, informal) An English-speaking resident of Quebec who demonstrates systematic anger or aggression towards the French language or against the actions of Quebecois nationalists, or who is a peevish complainer.
