The update to this case study includes new footage of Vancouver nearly a decade later showing the results of construction by Asian immigrants, and new interviews with geographer David Ley discussing the reversing migration trends and Vancouver's economy. Montreal: An Island of French examines the French-speaking population within Montreal, its turbulent history with the English-speaking minority, and the ongoing efforts to resist linguistic domination in North America. The case study focuses in particular on the city's large immigrant populations and their importance to francophone efforts to maintain majority status. Updates to this program include examination of the 1995 referendum on Quebec sovereignty featuring detailed maps of the voting patterns among speakers of different languages. Why is French the predominant language used in Montreal? Why is English the predominant language in Vancouver? Discuss briefly the social, economic, and linguistic history of Quebec. How does this history apply to the problems of linguistic domination as seen today? Compare and contrast the immigration issues challenging Montreal and Vancouver. Speculate about how proximity to the United States influences both places. In terms of scale, describe the type and style of houses of the Chinese Canadians in contrast to the Anglo Canadians in Vancouver. What effects do such contrasts within and between neighborhoods have on people's sense of place?
