Quebec's current relationship with France is complex. French politicians tend to tread carefully regarding Quebec's sovereignty.

Sarkozy moved away from that policy, but his successor Hollande revived it.

One might think that the push to remove anglicisms from the French language would be stronger in France, but the larger movement to "purify" French is actually happening in Quebec. Many Québécois worry that the French language is endangered in Canada, and the Quebec government has taken measures to preserve it by inventing new words instead of borrowing from English. That's why an email is still un email in France, but un courriel in Quebec.

The situation of the French language in Quebec is controversial and complex.
