How long did Champlain live in Quebec?
Summary of what is written below: Champlain stayed in Quebec (Stadacona) for about twenty-seven years. So he had fully been devoted to New France for about twenty-seven yearsof his life. Samuel de Champlain was a French explorer, navigator, and mapmaker. He explored much of eastern Canada and became known as the father of New France, which was the French part of Canada. Champlain was born in Brouage, France. As a boy he learned how to navigate ships, and became a naval captain, like his father. In 1603 he went on his first voyage to Canada, as geographer on a fur-trading expedition. He travelled up the Saguenay, St. Lawrence, and Richelieu rivers and used the information he collected to make a very accurate map of Canada from Hudson Bay in the north down to the Great Lakes. In 1604 Champlain made his second trip to North America. He was looking for a place where French people could make a permanent settlement. Champlain remained for three years, exploring the Atlantic coast from the Bay of Fundy down to Cape Cod. On his third trip in 1608, Champlain founded a settlement and trading post along the St. Lawrence River that eventually became the city of Quebec. It was the first permanent white settlement in Canada, which makes Quebec the oldest city in Canada. He spent most of the rest of his life going back and forth between France and Canada. His goals were to map North America, find a quicker way to get to the Pacific Ocean, and teach North American natives about Christianity. In 1629 Quebec was captured by the English and Champlain was taken to England as a prisoner. When Canada was returned to France in 1633 he returned to his trading post and remained in Quebec until his death on Christmas Day in 1635.

Because they have a freaky antiquated mindset that if you let even one aspect of English culture to enter their province, all French culture will be overtaken and lost. It's a remnant of the times when Britain actually did have a policy to eliminate the French there(It was never really enforced other than some racial bias and failed epically). The French in France, luckily, don't share these attitudes.

The St. Lawrence valley and south of the river is quite flat though there are some peculiar old eroded volcanoes popping out of plains in the eastern townships. The north side of the river is much more textured and these mountains are called the Laurentians/Lauretides. The Gaspe Peninsula in the east has mountains as high as 1200 m and up in the far north east there are mountains close to the 1500 m mark which are the highest mountains in Canada east of the Rockies.
