Quebec and Ontario both are located in the southeast corner of Canada, but their similarities end there. Ontario reflects Canada's British heritage. The street names and habits, such as afternoon tea, are reminiscent of British colonial days. People in Ontario are mostly Protestant, and like most of Canada, English is the official language. As a province influenced by French culture, Quebec enjoys "cultural independence" from the rest of Canada. French is an official language of Quebec, and the majority of the people are Roman Catholic. Some Quebec nationalist groups have attempted to secede from Canada, but they have been unsuccessful.
One key difference between the people can be the culture based on immigration origin. Most people in the south originate from colonies that used to be Spanish so there's a lot of Spanish cultural influence and Mexican while northerners are mostly of Germanic origin. One difference in economy is for example agricultural. Northern parts have harsher climate so things like tobacco can't grow as successfully while southerners have very dry and hot lands where you don't have dense coniferous forests. <span />
