Cultural clash : English vs French in Quebec

I live in a province of Canada ( Quebec ) that has his own ( and specific ) cultural context. Starting with the obvious : language, we're a majority of french speaking Canadians, continuing to its European heritage and adding, important to mention, descendants of the loosing side of the colonial wars. These factors forged a part of our personalities. It's a big chain of events that had influence over the generations; always making the next one different and unique. It's an evolution. 

Many people want to protect our culture from other's. Like it's a second invasion of the long gone New France. I'm not taking any position about whatever mean we should take to ensure our cultural uniqueness. I think very few people will agree with me on this one, but I don't even care that we should. In our province, there's not many voices that go against protecting our culture and to some extent, I understand. But I asked myself why is it so important to protect it and came up with this explanation. 

I asked myself. When has it become an issue to protect our culture? Was it Montcalm first preoccupation when he was fighting the redcoats? I don't know for sure but I don't think it was. It was a question of conquest for land and resources. It became an issue because we lost. It was the only thing left to fight for; our origin, our language, our culture. We lived amongst a different culture since then. But that British culture influenced us and even if it's still two separate cultures today, the New France culture's evolution is inseparable to the lost of Montcalm during the battle of the Plains of Abraham and ultimately to the English culture. 

Yet, these days, there's a hunt in my province for people who choose to not embrace the french culture by learning its language and/or making it flourish on different layers. Quebec is Canada and Canada is Quebec. We live in a bilingual country. I agree and understand that people have the right to work in their language. But explain to me when has it been made mandatory to learn both languages? I mean, its a question of choice. Each individual have a choice. Whatever is to learn a second language or not. If they don't feel the need to it, then why would it be wrong? 

Culture influence individuals and individuals makes culture. Am I an "enemy" only because I chose to write a blog in "anglais"? I chose it to help me improve my English skills and it still needs to get better for my liking. What is wrong with that? We consume culture from different sources. Many comes from foreign countries. Are we wrong to open ourselves to other cultures? 

I have no problem with financing french culture in our province, but it is still my choice, as an individual to speak, write, read in the language I want. If someone can live in our province without feeling or having the need to speak french that's his own business. I'm born french Canadian but that doesn't automatically make me a knight defender of our culture. Somehow, people, by questioning, criticizing my choices and making it a moral issue, are walking on turf they don't own. This turf is call free choice. You can put any measures to encourage individuals to choose french. I have no problem at all with this. But once you're starting to point persons and to criticize their choices, you've taken the wrong path if your quest is the perenniality of french in America.
