Governing Quebec

As a British official, I realize there are many alternatives to governing Quebec. I have chosen the policy of assimilation to ensure the colony is properly run. One reason why I made this decision was since it would increase the size of the British population in Quebec. When we convert these Canadiens and Native Americans to our way of life, religion, and culture, they become closer to the British, and I will make it a requirement that every British citizen in Quebec must assist in defending Quebec in the act of war. Another reason why I want to assimilate the French and the Native Americans is because then they can learn our language, and inform us useful information about the land. They could help us adjust easier to this new land we inhabit, and can teach us what they have learned from living here for years. Assimilation also seemed like the most reasonable, and least costly way to deal with the large amount of French and Native Americans in Quebec. Deportation wastes too much time that we could be using to adapt and build to Quebec. Maintaining the status-quo means that I wouldn’t have full control over all of Quebec, and who knows what chaos could come up in the streets due to different languages and religions coming together. Isolation means I would have no control over the French and the Native Americans, and it would be too much work to try to maintain three different religions, cultures, and language. As I have outlined above, I believe the best policy for governing Quebec is assimilation.  This will ensure that the colony will remain under British control and provide wealth for our glorious country.
