The article claims 'English‑speaking Quebecers' is a mere linguistic bucket that hides a real ethnocultural group formed by generations of intermarriage between British Loyalists/settlers and French Canadians, centered on Montreal. This 'Anglo‑Québécois' identity is presented as a third Canadian ethnogenesis alongside French Canadians and Anglo‑Canadians, with shared ancestry, culture, and historical roles.
— If identity categories should track ethnogenesis rather than language, media, policy, and census practices may be misclassifying groups and misunderstanding claims about rights, representation, and cultural continuity.
