Molson on the other hand apparently resents, or at least does not see the need for assimilation to be considered a Quebecois. I would say that he loves and appreciates Quebec society, but wants to retain his anglophone identity. The fact that if he still lived in Quebec he would be forced to make a choice he finds an abomination.
This is my take on the matter.

Of course, people are free to choose whatever level of integration they're comfortable with, ranging from zero to 100%.
My point is simply that there is no shortage of examples of people who'd be considered "Québécois" while clearly remaining anglophones, as opposed to being totally assimilated to the francophone group in order to attain that status.
