The research gauged the opinions among Francophones outside Quebec and Anglophones in Quebec on local official language minority communities (OLMC) radio stations and newspapers.
Official language minority communities (OLMCs) are groups of people whose preferred official language is not the language of majority in their province or territory. This includes French speakers outside of Quebec and English speakers in Quebec.
Nanos conducted a representative non-probability online survey of 666 Francophones outside Quebec, 18 years of age or older, between March 10th and April 15th, 2025. A margin of error cannot be calculated on a non-probability sample. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of 666 respondents would have a margin of error of ±3.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The sample is geographically stratified to be representative of Francophones in Canada outside Quebec, and distribution was limited to a set of postal codes that include distribution areas of French-language local community radio stations and newspapers.
Nanos conducted a representative non-probability online survey of 453 Anglophones in Quebec, 18 years of age or older, between March 10th and April 15th, 2025. A margin of error cannot be calculated on a non-probability sample. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of 453 respondents would have a margin of error of ±4.6 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The sample is geographically stratified to be representative of Anglophones in Quebec, and distribution was limited to a set of postal codes that include distribution areas of English-language local community radio stations and newspapers.
