Comparison: Historically, Québec And Canada

100 Words1 Page

I can't speak to the ideals and aspirations of each individual Québécois, but I think the simplest answer is that, historically, Québec and Canada have two very separate (yet parallel?) histories. Unlike territories and nations that have been gradually annexed and welcomed into their current countries, Québec was taken much more forcefully by the British and the result was not favorable for the inhabitants of the former French colony. The British were not kind to the French in North America... as evidenced by their expulsion of the Acadians (many of whom relocated to Louisiana, where they now call themselves

  • Example Of Good And Bad Nationalism In Canada

    179 Words  | 1 Pages

    Canada is “too afraid” but every country should follow in our footsteps and be proud of their nation while showing good nationalism then all hate would finally be at ease. There are plenty of examples of good and bad Nationalism but we as a country can forget about the past hate and focus on the new peace. Olympics are one of the most popular events that happen in the world and it is just the greatest thing to see all countries (that can afford it) to come together and no hate is around, only pride. The reason why I am picking the Olympics as an example of good nationalism is we are rooting so hard or our team and/or athlete to win and get disappointed if they lose and I ask myself why? I have never even talked to or meet this person nor

    Quebecois “Distinct Nation” by Theresa Klein Throughout history many nations that have a powerful, shared sense of identity, but never acquired their own state or sovereign entity. I chose to write a profile of the Quebecois in Canada as a testimony to what type of national conflicts can arise in regards to the quest for independence. I visited Quebec, Canada in 1984, and at the time, as it now, a very peaceful place. Firstly, Quebecois is another word for the French-speaking natives of the Canadian province of Quebec, Canada.

  • Why Is Quebecois Seeking Separation Or A Distinct Society?

    331 Words  | 2 Pages

    The next thing to consider on Quebec referendum is whether or not the Quebecois are seeking separation or a special recognition as a ‘distinct society’. John C. Parkin’s quote, “The problem for a lot of people is that they don't really know what they want…” best describes the situation the Quebecois are in. In the past two referendums, Quebec emphasized on sovereignty-association and the acceptance of a unique society. During the second referendum, the separatists nearly seceded but was denied by a slight majority of 50.58 percent. According to an article from the Vancouver Sun, many Quebecers seek independence for reasons that are unrelated to economics and the cost of separating.

  • History Culminating Reflection: Canadian

    History Culminating Reflection William K. L. Lore was an inspiration to many Canadians during his time. If I could meet him, I would ask how it felt to not only be the first Chinese Canadian to enter the Canadian civil service, but the first Chinese Canadian in the Royal Canadian Navy and in any of the British Commonwealth navies. Another question that would concern him would be, what made him study Mining Engineering, and if he was not able to study Mining Engineering, what else he would like to study. Furthermore, I would ask him about why he wanted to join the Royal Canadian Navy, as he most likely knew that people of Canada were racist and why he kept attempting to join the Royal Canadian Navy, even after he was denied entrance three times.

  • The Quiet Revolution: A Period Of Change In Quebec's Politics And Society

    982 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Quiet Revolution, or Révolution tranquille, was a period of change in Quebec's politics, society, and culture. With the election of the Quebec Liberal Party in 1960, the Quiet Revolution lasted until the 1970s. Jean Lesage, the premier at the time, desired to be a leading influence for Quebec in Canada and to be "the masters of their own home," or "Maître chez nous," their slogan. The Quiet Revolution's mark was made by sweeping reforms aimed at modernizing the Quebec government and society after roughly 15 years of conservatism under Maurice Duplessis (1944–59). Lesage's four main goals were to increase the level of schooling, advance economic development, distribute the increased income evenly, and boost the relative position of the Francophone

  • The Impact Of The Quiet Revolution

    821 Words  | 4 Pages

    To call this era of drastic change the ‘Quiet Revolution’ is a vivid, and yet, paradoxical description. The Quiet Revolution was a time of intense socio-political and socio-cultural change in Quebec, which extended beyond Quebec’s borders because of its influence on contemporary Canadian politics. As a result of the effects of the changes that occurred during this Quiet Revolution, most Quebec provincial governments since the early 1960s have maintained political and social orientations based on the core concepts developed and implemented during the Quiet Revolution. As such, there is no doubt that the Quiet Revolution had a significant impact in Canadian History. This impact can be characterized by the prelude to the Quiet Revolution; the demographic evolution of Quebec; the social educational reforms that were put in place; the economic reforms and their impact; the rise of nationalism; and finally, the cultural changes that occurred.

    When Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier stated, “As the 19th century was that of the United States, so I think the 20th century shall be filled by Canada”, the decades that followed provided his statement to be true as Canada became an independent and strong nation. The battlefields in World War One were a defining moment for Canada as their forces fought as one nation for the first time, instead of under British Command. Also, at the end of the war, Canada was recognized at the Peace Conference and signed the Treaty of Versailles as an independent country. In addition, Canada joined the League of Nations, playing a major role in world politics. These events in the early 20th century allowed the beginning of a strong nation with a growing national
