"Well, my point has been proven wrong, time to focus on pedantry."
In the name of pedantry, I could change the text to "the province with the single largest ethnic group", which I think could be argued as a suitable definition of the term "most homogenous". Or would it make you happier if I disparaged the smaller provinces by saying "the most homogenous province of any political significance"?
And I can't see if it's you who's downvoting or not, but commenting and downvoting gives a real "my comments can't stand on their own" vibe, which is fitting.
Again, white French Quebecois and Anglo Quebecois are two distinct ethnic groups and they're ethnically distinct from most French or Anglo Quebecois that immigrated here more recently (those that don't consider their ethnicity to be French or British in origin).
You would realize that if you understood the definition of ethnicity, I'll invite you to Google that.
And yes I'm downvoting you because you're arguing in bad faith by bringing up sources that don't apply and that contradict you.
Don't know why it's so hard to accept that Quebec isn't the most homogenous province, but I bet you're from Ontario or Alberta so you just have a bad opinion of Quebec and don't know anything about the other provinces.
Being the most homogenous population of any significance is neither bad nor good. If you felt that was an insult maybe you should consider why. Homogeneity due to isolationism is bad because of isolationism, which is strongly linked to the idea of regional parties at the national level. Thanks for your help in displaying the flaws in those ideologies as demonstrated by your taking offense when facts you apparently don't like are displayed in the open.
I take offense in people using lies and bad information as arguments against my points, that's all.
How many provinces have four main parties and a fifth one that gets over 10% of the votes? Talk about homogeneity!
Have a good life now!
