Chapter 335: Layout of Canada

Canada is a constitutional monarchy, due to historical reasons, the head of Canada is the Queen of England, because the head of state of Canada does not live in Canada, so the British royal family appoints a person to represent her, that is, the governor nominally rules Canada, the duties of the governor are similar to the fire extinguisher in a sudden fire, although the fire extinguisher is not often used, but this does not mean that the fire extinguisher is useless.

Although the British royal family is the head of Canada, the prime minister is the one who has the real power, and is usually the leader of the party with the most seats in the lower house of the Canadian parliament.

Wang Zifan's impression of Canada is a vast and sparsely populated, similar to a paradise country, with a geographical area larger than China, but the population is only one percent of China, and the business officer named Daniel Johnson is eager to move to his house, almost every week to go to DreamWorks to make an appointment, and the meeting is to talk about investment and preferential policies, and the momentum is not inferior to Li Dakang in the TV series.

Therefore, the prince of this commercial officer's appointment can push it as long as he can, and he will not see it until today, in the name of a weekend vacation.

Commercial officer Daniel is an energetic young man, currently serving as Canada's commercial officer in Hong Kong, but also the backbone of the Quebec party, during this time in Hong Kong, to participate in all kinds of banquets, around the rich, for the Canadian economy, immigration made a lot of contributions, he came to Hong Kong in 1980, these two years happened to be Wang Zifan's fortune time, in other words, he personally witnessed how Wang Zifan from a penniless intern to Hong Kong's top rich, in the United Kingdom, He also hung the portrait of Wang Zifan collected with a lot of money in the most conspicuous place in the office, for fear that people would not know that he was a fan.

Shek O Golf Clubhouse

Wang Zifan is learning to play here, while waiting for his fan, this is known as the most mysterious pure membership course in Hong Kong, has a history of 57 years, located along the coastline of Shek O District, the clubhouse is designed in pure British style, to join this club with only a few hundred members is not easy, first need to own a property in the designated location of Shek O or be the owner of an international business, and then go through a rigorous process to apply for membership.

Syllable!

After aiming for a long time, Wang Zifan waved the club, only to hear a tragic bird call, and the ball fell, and it turned out that the white ball happened to hit a kingfisher in the process of flying rapidly into the air, causing a surprised look!

Wang Zifan blinked and said to the caddie in a daze: "Now you know what a birdie ball is!"

"My, God!" the caddy shrugged, birdie correctly explained that the golfer had a 1-under par score on a hole, not the kind of birdie.

"Sir, your guest has arrived!"

“ok!”

Wang Zifan handed the club to the caddy, took the towel to wipe the sweat, and walked towards the rest area, although Hong Kong has a high population density, but the needle is only for the common people, the rich can enjoy more superior environmental resources, a huge golf course, only for a few people!

"Mr. Wang!" Daniel, who was resting, saw Wang Zifan, quickly put down the coffee cup and stood up to greet him, more enthusiastic than the waitress here!

"Daniel, long time no see!" Wang Zifan shook hands with a slight smile and invited, "Do you want to play a few shots together?"

"I don't think I need to, I have long heard that Mr. Wang is a winning general on the court, and I am willing to bow down!" Daniel's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he had just seen Wang Zifan's ball skills, how could he be embarrassed to play, not that he wouldn't, but he was very good at playing golf, and he could abuse Wang Zifan in three or two strokes to find the kind of master in the north, and it would be boring if the level difference was too big.

"Hehe, then let's sit down and talk!"

"Good coffee here!"

"Yes, but I like tea!"

"I'm also very interested in Chinese tea, I like Longjing and Biluochun!"

"Yes, I'll give you two boxes when I'm free!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Zifan patted the other party's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "You help me so much, you don't need to be polite to me for this little thing!"

Daniel excitedly said, "No, no, you can help me!"

Wang Zifan sighed: "I'm very busy these days, and the appointment is handled by the secretary, you can call my office phone if you have anything in the future!

Daniel was flattered and said, "I'm happy to serve you!"

Wang Zifan nodded: "Actually, it's nothing, I want to specifically investigate a certain province in Canada, how about you recommend one!"

Daniel held his breath and said, "Do you have any specific requirements?"

"Say whatever!"

"That'...... Can I tell you about Quebec?"

"Yes!"

"Dear Mr. Wang, Quebec is one of the provinces with the richest investment environment and the best proportion of people in Canada......"

As early as 1608, the French established the first permanent colony in Quebec, and then for more than a hundred years, the French immigrant army continued to go to Quebec, France relied on these immigrants, with Quebec as the center to control the whole of Canada, the good times did not last long, Britain was not willing to be lonely, from 1756 to 1763, Britain and France fought a ten-year war, France was forced to cede Canada to Britain after the defeat, but the French were unwilling to lose control of Quebec, using close economic and cultural ties with Quebec, expanding their influence, and the result was today's embarrassing situation。

Although Quebec is an integral part of Canada, it is very different from other regions in terms of history, language, culture, tradition, etc., Quebec's French-speaking residents account for about 59%, English-speaking residents account for about 9%, and the other 32% are bilingual in English and French.

Wang Zifan is very interested in this aspect, under detailed inquiry, Daniel talked eloquently, and without reservation, when he was a child, there was a silent revolution in Quebec, Quebec national consciousness began to rise, many people believe that the Canadian constitution was formulated by the British Parliament in 1876, neither through democratic discussion and adoption, nor taking into account the feelings of ethnic minorities, and the interests of Quebec, which accounted for one-third of Canada's population at that time, were completely excluded and had no political sovereignty, therefore, the Quebec Party, founded in 1968, openly raised the issue of independence, and its political platform clearly stipulated that political sovereignty should be obtained, several years agoThe Quebec Party kidnapped the British Trade Representative and the Quebec Minister of Labor to coerce the government to allow Quebec independence.

Speaking of this, Daniel was very excited, detailing the tense atmosphere in Quebec at that time, there is no doubt that he stood on the side of Quebec and condemned so-and-so, and everyone could hear his position, let alone Wang Zifan, in the end, the violence gradually subsided under the suppression of the Canadian government, but the country suffered a huge loss.

Thanks to this political movement, the Quebec Party won an absolute majority of seats in the provincial legislature in 1976, 71 of the 110 seats, and became the ruling party of the province of Quebec.

In 1980, Quebec's first referendum on the "sovereignty-union" formula was held, with 40.44 percentiles in favor and 59.56 percentiles against, and the first independence movement in Quebec failed.

Although the quest for independence failed, Quebec is still haunted by the Canadian constitution that does not take into account the interests and feelings of the Quebecers, and the Canadian constitution adopted in the 1980s only has the signatures of the other nine federal provinces, except for Quebec, which is excluded, and the place left for Quebec's signatures is still blank。

Seeing Daniel getting farther and farther away, Wang Zifan became more and more excited the more he spoke, and interrupted with a smile: "I support your independent spirit!"

Daniel realized something, quietly restrained his emotions, covered up his gaffe just now, and was afraid that Wang Zifan would be worried about the chaotic situation in Quebec and dismiss the idea of investment, remembering the purpose of the previous appointments, he said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, it just so happens that our provincial governor will personally visit Hong Kong on the 3rd of next month, and he especially said that he hopes to visit your famous cruise ship 'Oriental Emperor'!"

"Of course no problem!"

Wang Zifan smiled and agreed, there is no doubt that the Quebec independence movement has a profound impact on Canada and Quebec society, the French seek independence, then the British in the territory will have opinions, when one side is strong and fiercely resists, the situation will be unbalanced, and then out of control, driving out all the British, this is not a good thing for Quebec, and the failure of the independence movement is also reasonable.

Between 1976, when the Quebec Party became the ruling party in Quebec, to the first referendum in 1980, nearly 100,000 people of British descent moved out of Montreal, and many British businesses moved to the Ann River at the same time, which had a significant impact on the Quebec economy. However, in addition to what can be seen on the surface, the Quebec independence movement has largely contributed to the attention of Canada, which does not dare to easily follow Britain and the United States in dealing with international affairs, and especially tries to avoid participating in wars waged by the two countries, because once Canada participates in the war, it can easily become the best reason for Quebec to secede.
