| | Quebec is located in eastern Canada, bordered by Ontario and Hudson Bay to the west, Atlantic Canada to the east, the United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York) to the south and the Arctic Ocean to the north. | | | The Québécois people, a people also found in small minorities of Canada and of the United States, consider Quebec their homeland. | | | Their activities culminated in events referred to as the October Crisis when James Cross, the British trade commissioner to Canada, was kidnapped along with Pierre Laporte, a provincial minister and Vice-Premier, who was murdered a few days later. |

| | For Europe to be as agriculturally productive as it is (it supports more than twice the population of the United States and Canada), all those cold, dry winds that blow eastward across the North Atlantic from Canada must somehow be warmed up. | | | The likeliest reason for these flips is an intermittent problem in the North Atlantic Ocean. | | | Such a conveyor is needed because the Atlantic is saltier than the Pacific (the Pacific has twice as much water with which to dilute the salt carried in from rivers). |

| | The resulting devastation of the groundfish fisheries in Atlantic Canada has thrown thousands of people out of work. | | | Canada extended its territorial sea to 12 miles in 1970 and it unilaterally declared a 200-mile economic zone in 1977 after the Third Law of the Sea Conference failed to reach an agreement on the rights of coastal nations. | | | While Canada criticized the overfishing by foreign fleets, it also ignored warnings from both its own scientists and an independent review of the northern cod stocks indicating that the resource was in trouble and fishing should be reduced. |
