The Irish in QuebecIn a recent article in The Montreal Gazette, writer Warren Perley pointed out that "statistics support the prevalent role the Irish have played throughout Canada. Six of Montreal's mayors have been Irish. Up to 4 million Canadians are believed to be of Irish descent and as many as 40 per cent of French-speaking Quebecers can trace some Irish ancestry." Given these facts, it is understandable that some of the most colorful Irish history in Canada has occured in the province of Quebec.
