Do you believe Quebecois form a distinct ethnicity within the Canadian nationality or a second nationality separate altogether from Anglo-Canadian?

Answer:

In my personal opinion, the Quebecois form a different historical nationality from that of the Anglo-Canadians, fundamentally because they come from different historical contexts, and have different cultures, languages and even religions.

Thus, the Quebecois come from the first French settlers in Canada, they speak French and are mostly Catholic, while the Anglo-Canadians were arriving later, they speak English and are mostly Protestant.

Therefore, these differences mean that both groups, although they coexist in harmony, can be considered as different nationalities within the same country.
