Document Summary
Canadian history for dummies perspective: chapter 13- quebec was in favour for joining confederation. He plays down the interests of french canada/ He rejects the claim that quebec is a nation. Nation: a community of people with a shared heritage, language, economy, living in a specific region, with a common history and culture. It may not have a government recognized by other states; it may be within a state. Country, or state: may or may not be a community; may consist of several nations; does have a government recognized by other governments. Countries have governments, and nations do not have their own government. First create the country and then you need to make the people feel nationalistic of that country. People all have some power and some have more than others. Not many people had the vote or had the chance to vote. (too many restrictions on voting rights)
