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. The reason assimilation would help me control the French better than my other options is because each of the other options have something wrong with them. First of all, biculturalism and maintaining status-quo would be extremely hard to govern and besides, I wouldn’t want their inferior culture in my colony, only the superior British way of life. My third option would be isolation which at first I thought “Hey that’s not a bad idea, I could send them off to some remote location and forget about them”, but then I realized that those murderous French would plot against me and there would be nothing I could do to watch over their isolated colonies where they could easily form an army with the Natives and take back Quebec. That leaves me two options, assimilation or deportation. Both options would achieve my goal of getting rid of all inferior cultures from my colony, but I had to decide because I couldn’t do both. My final decision is assimilation but if they make me I could always deport them. The reason I would prefer assimilation over deportation is I could grow my new colony even bigger with those who have been assimilated and use them to farm and gain wealth for my new colony. Additionally, I could cleanse the French and Natives from their inferior beliefs and culture. 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.
