Document Summary
Pre-1960: english canadians did not view the french canadians as a distinct people, let alone a nation and would not accept the french-canadian belief that confederation constituted some sort of pact or arrangement between two founding peoples. French canadians made little pressure on them to change their view. Earlier 1960s: with the quiet revolution and pressures for the national recognition of quebec, Ottawa manifest an opening to a dual conception of canada, as relying on two national communities. Mid-1960s onward: trudeau came along and ruined everything; more than ever, english. Canadians now reject the dualist conception of canada.
