- 1982, Gary Caldwell and Eric Waddell, editors, The English of Quebec: From Majority to Minority Status, →ISBN, pages 131 and 141:
- As will be demonstrated, it provided very good analytical material for reflection on the relationships between Anglos and Francos in Quebec. […] Firstly, the Francos of Quebec are perceived as being in general agreement on their collective name, which name others are also seen to recognize.

- In my own case in the area of Mile-End (a mixed neighborhood of Jews, Greeks, Portuguese, Anglos, Francos), my back balcony (or more precisely, la galérie) is a mere foot and a half wide and joins me with my two neighbors, women with whom I often converse.
