Quebec is an important port and is an industrial, cultural, service, and tourist center.
QuebecCity (officially, Québec), is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec.
In April 2001, QuebecCity hosted the Summit of the Americas to discuss the Free Trade Area of the Americas; it also hosted massive anti-globalization demonstrations, provoked both by the summit and by the decision to wall off a large portion of the historic city with a four-metre-high chain-link fence for the duration.
