Thoughts from a "Lost Canadian" About Quebec

Today this "Lost Canadian" is very happy to let you know about the Canadian Province which covers the largest area of land - Quebec - which shares borders with the Canadian Provinces of Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, and New Brunswick as well as four States from the USA - New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Yes, Quebec covers a large area of land for sure! Now for some interesting information about Quebec which this "Lost Canadian" believes to be very interesting . . .

• Quebec is known as the "Europe of North America".
• French is the official language of Quebec.
• It features over a million lakes - yes, over a MILLION lakes! This is impressive!
• Quebec City is the world's only walled city north of Mexico.
• "Québec" comes from the Algonquin word kébec, meaning "place where the river narrows".
• The Laurentian Mountains in Quebec are among the oldest mountain ranges in the world.
• The Hôtel de Glace in Quebec City is the only ice hotel in North America, with rooms made of ice and snow.
• Quebec produces the vast majority of Canada’s maple syrup - it produces 70% of the world’s pure maple syrup - and is known as the "Maple Syrup Capital".
• Montreal is widely considered the second-largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris.
• Quebec is one of the world’s largest producers of wild blueberries.
• More than half of Quebec is covered in forest. In fact, the forests in Quebec cover more than 900,000 km². They are home to moose, deer, foxes, coyotes, wolves, and more wildlife.
