“…At the same time, the homogeneity and territorial anchoring that these terms presuppose are being challenged. While francophone Canada constructs itself ideologically as rooted in rural areas (Heller 2005), the 2006 Canadian census shows massive urbanization; while francophone Canada constructs itself as ethnically homogeneous, exogamy and immigration introduce alternative ways of being a francophone Canadian.

“…L'identité franco-canadienne depuis les années 1940 s'est basée sur un nationalisme modernisant, un nationalisme qui a souvent valorisé la tradition rurale au fur et à mesure que l'économie et les élites se sont industrialisées et urbanisées (Williams, 1973;Heller, 2005 (Williams, 1973) et à une méfiance de la ville (même si par exemple, Montréal est une ville majoritairement francophone depuis les années 1870) (Levine, 1990;Linteau, 2003).
