Quebec: Stefan St-Laurent

Provincial Legislature Dept: MONTREAL - Old anxieties about the survival of Quebec's culture are being revived as front-page headlines, talk-show airwaves and the provincial legislature are filled with warnings of impending doom, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The results of the 2011 survey, released in February, say that in a span of 60 years Quebec's share of the total Canadian population dropped by nearly one-fifth, from 28.9 per cent in 1951 to 23.6 per cent in 2011 . There's no sign of that trend diminishing and stefan St-Laurent, who moved with his family to Calgary in 2006, poses in front of downtown Calgary, Alta., Wednesday, March 7, 2012.
