Nearly 900,000 English Québecers and those speaking a foreign language left the province since 1966, Statistics Canada said yesterday. The migration could have been larger but there were comparatively few English-speaking people in the province to begin with, analysts said: “We count 672,903 English speakers and 220,448 people who had a non-official language as a mother tongue such as Greek or Italian who left Québec.”
