Here is an interesting report from the federal Commissioner of Official Languages on Quebec Anglos. Man, I'm really hung up on this issue these days, huh?
Here's an interesting observation from the conclusion about how it's not so much about services or being able to speak English, as it is simply about feeling as though you are welcome and belong:
In short, the threat to the community that elicits such strong concern in surveys is not primarily about numbers or access to services, but rather relates to issues of inclusion and belonging. It is likely the reason that many Anglophones evoke equality as a major concern to community members. Neither the growing diversity nor metissage (mixing of languages) in the Quebec Anglophone population has modified this view, and exploring the trends in this report will allow for better support of the vitality of the Quebec Anglophone community.
