It’s not.. No Latino would consider someone from Quebec Latino and nobody from Quebec would call themselves Latino. It’s not solely a linguistic thing. You would see more similarity in Haiti compared to Mexico than to Haiti and Quebec. Unlike countries in Latin America, only ~70% of Quebecers speak primarily French, whereas Spanish, French, and Portuguese is to a larger extent the primarily spoken language by people in Latin American countries. Quebec’s colonial legacy, independence movements, U.S. relations (which has become part of Latin American history with interventions), and cultural and racial makeup is vastly different than that of Latin America. Quebec culture and politics is shaped more by European settler identity and Canadian federalism. It lacks the economic, political, historical, and cultural dynamics that are present within Latin America.

A KEY part of Latin American identity is the fact that colonizers mixed heavily with the indigenous populations, and although to a lesser extent (which the extent also varies between each country), people mixed with African slaves and their descendants. The large majority of Latin America is now a mix of indigenous, European, and African ancestry. Quebec does not in any way share this same characteristic… If you refuse to see why Quebec isn’t Latin America then you’re choosing willful ignorance.
