message: What's the difference between a territory and a region? --AW 18:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In Canada, a region is usually geographic in nature, with a few exceptions (there's the west, Ontario, Quebec, the maritimes, and the north). A territory is a politically drawn up region in Canada that has the same form of government as provinces, but doesn't require a constitutional amendment to add, and isn't represented by the Queen in the form of a Lt. Governor (it has a commissioner instead). The federal government also has more power there (and a whole department dedicated to it- Department of Indian and Northern Affairs). It's like a regular province, but all the territories are less populated (because they're all north of 60, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut). -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 21:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm talking about territories and regions in Quebec - such as in the template at the bottom of this article, . It includes regions like Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Côte-Nord and Montréal (region) while territories include places like Jamésie Territory, Quebec and Kativik Regional Government. However, the Jamesie article says it's part of the Nord-du-Québec administrative region. It's confusing --AW 21:38, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are 17 regions in Quebec. See Regions of Quebec for a list. The word "territory" doesn't have an official meaning by itself, but may appear sporadically in other expressions, such as "unorganized territory" (an area not administered by any municipality).

text: You may be referring to Template:Subdivisions of Quebec. Here, "territory" means a group of municipalities, Indian or Inuit lands, and unorganized territories which do not fall under the jurisdiction of a regional county municipality. Joeldl 22:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, then someone with knowledge of this should clarify the template and the article Regions of Quebec. Maybe create one for Territories of Quebec as well. --AW 21:15, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't found official references to these as "territories", but it's obvious on a map that they correspond to "hors-MRC" municipalities bunched together. The template has other factual errors; for example, the list of agglomerations is incomplete. I can't fix it right now, but if you want to give it a shot, there's Administrative subdivisions of Quebec which in conjunction with , I think, has all the necessary information, except for "territories".

message: In the Subdivisions box at the bottom of the article, "Longueuil" is incorrectly written as "Longueil". I would have fixed this minor error but article is protected.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cataclaw (talk • contribs) 
:I've fixed it on the template. Interesting that someone created a redirect for it at the incorrect name, but it matches the article now. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "While the province's substantial natural resources have long been the mainstay of its economy, Quebec has renewed itself to function effectively in the knowledge economy: information and communication technologies, aerospace, biotechnology, and health industries."
Someone fix this. - MSTCrow 20:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Why does the "Boundaries" section say that "This was followed by the addition of the District of Ungava through the Quebec Boundaries Extension Act of 1912 that added the northernmost lands of the aboriginal Inuit to create the modern Province of St. Matthew."???  I've never heard this term. Can anyone clarify, or was this a case of very subtle vandalism? If no-one knows, I'll change it in a few days.

message: I thought the abbreviation was always PQ? --AW 19:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, the Qc abbreviation was introduced at least 20-30 years ago, as far as I can recall.--Ramdrake 20:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: PQ is still in use but officially its QC 24.226.230.236 01:16, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

text: The abbreviation "PQ" is use for the "Parti Québecois" and "Qc" is us for "Québec". Or maybe you still use the very old name "Province of Québec". This name isn't use now.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.68.31.6 (talk) 18:20, August 29, 2007 (UTC)  
I agree that this gap is very important in the history and Québec and Canada. In 1907, the 300e anniversary of Québec City is celebrated. But, in 1914, in the beginning of the First World War, the Van Doos are created while French Canadian fight against Regulation 17 in Ontario. Later, after the Vimy battle in 1917, there was the conscription crisis in Québec City in 1918. These events separated French and English in Canada until the 1960s and the coming of Trudeau in Ottawa.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.250.178.163 (talk) 17:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

text: As far as I know, the abbreviation used to be P.Q. (Province of Quebec) but was changed to QC when it was deemed that allprovincial abbreviations were to be changed to two-letter abbreviations.--Ramdrake 00:02, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
