Provincial Quebec Government: Being the abode of the only French speaking society in North America, Quebec is totally different and distinct. In fact, its political elite is obsessed by politics during the last forty years. Quebec’s potential political separation resulted from linguistic differences between its English-speaking neighbors and the French colony, after the conquest in 1759. The transfer saw little change in the life of the Quebecois. French-Canadians remained covered and protected from the economic mainstream until twentieth-century industrialization, which was financed and run by the better-educated anglophones. This led to a mass francophone migration to the cities. This shake up of the entire Quebec society led to quite revolution in 1960’s, which was spurred by the Provincial government under the leadership of Jean Lesage and his party. This Provincial government then took control of the health, welfare and the education away from the church and established state owned industries that reversed the anglophone domination to the francophone entrepreneurial class.

Federal Quebec Government: The Federal government defends Quebec remaining with Canada and keeping its own status with regards the Canadian constitution. People also defend the need of federal government to assume the major role in the Canadian system, with an occasional involvement of the Provincial government. English speaking Quebecers, immigrants and the aboriginal groups strongly support this kind of federalism.

Municipal Quebec Government: Municipalities are created by the province through a clause in the constitution that allows them to delegate responsibilities to the government body. The local head of the municipal council is the Mayor or the Reeve. Council members are known as Councilors or Aldermen. All the voters in the municipality invariably elect the head of council at large.
