Point taken. I see what you mean.
Though I think Quebec also has comparables with a place like Brazil. It's much more diverse than Jamaica and Mexico, and no matter what happens will likely be more diverse going forward.
You are correct about Australia, which is more like Anglo-Canada, though with a noticeably stronger homegrown culture and identity.
Under an alternate history scenario, Quebec might have been a French-speaking Australia. Or even a French-speaking version of Anglo-Canada. But I think that ship has sailed.
