Day 3: Vive le Québec!

It's Day 3 of the Tell me what to write about meme. No one has claimed June 5th yet, so now is your chance! In fact, well over half the dates are still empty, so you should go fill those slots. No, really. It's okay, I'll wait.

In the meantime, sorceror has asked me to write about Québec history today, as apparently on this day in 1608 Samuel de Champlain landed at Tadoussac with a group of settlers and founded Québec City there a month later.

I'm guessing sorceror might have meant the history of the city, but I'm going to ignore that and talk about the whole province, because I can. ;)
