Document Summary
Quebec: canada"s post-confederation history is characterized by ongoing conflict between fercnh and english canadians. In what context must these conflicts be understood. French embraced ideal of dualism from the beginning: dualism = the notion that canada was founded on a group of two peoples, the french and english. Confederation was seen as a way for this linguistic and cultural community to remain separate and distinct in union. 2 ruling entities: roman catholic church, political elites (wealthy land owners) Quebec act 1774: assured that the church and political eluites would maintain influence in quebec. In areas of social services(education), religion, and land. Very traditional and conservative in these areas. Church didn"t want to see urbanization, industrialization, and the creaton of a bureaucratic state. Quebec nationalism in 1960: similarly conservative, protective and insular, sought to maintain federal and provincial serpeation of powers. At the time, education and society was still very conservative.
