nope. alberta is texas. they speak the same language and can access outside information.
quebec is a close society that's too ignorant to realize how backwater they are.

Well, Texas is part of the deep South ;)
I don't think there is an analogy for Quebec in America. To my knowledge, the French settlers in America were assimilated in.

The analogy is not perfect because on many other issues Québec is one of the most progressive of Canada, for things like gun control, health care, tuiton costs, gay rights, etc. But we have an unique reality that our language is in danger and sometimes our government overreact in dumb ways.
