Quebecois
Canadian French speaker
Quebecois refers to people from Quebec, Canada's French-speaking province, or to things characteristic of Quebec culture, language, and identity.
The term carries connotations of francophone heritage and the province's distinct status within Canada: Quebecois cuisine blends French traditions with North American ingredients.
Also spelled Québécois, preserving the French accent.
