Industrialization led to more people moving to bourgeoning places in central canada like ontario = growing nationalist identity (pan-canadianism) at the same time of increase canadian sense of indentity quebec increase nationalism. Quebec as consequence of quebec nationalism wants homogeneity, french language, It could be argued that homogeneity is a similarity or a difference between these two, because canada has a tolerance of contending ideals and identities, openness to others, and more oppeness to immigrants. This can be seen by many as canada being a community of communities, where national homogeneity is rejected.
