The motto on every Quebec license plate, “Je me souviens” (I remember), is the key to understanding the province’s modern identity. It recalls a history where French was sidelined and chronicles the powerful political and social struggle to make it the true common language of public life. This fight culminated in Bill 101, a transformative law that reshaped everything from schoolyards to storefronts, forging a unique French-speaking society in North America.
