Yet, when the 13 Colonies fought for independence from the British, a mere 14 years after Quebec was ceded to the British, the Quebec colony wanted to remain with the British. Life for the average person in Quebec was BETTER under the British than it was under the French and they didn't want things to change.
What in the world does De Gaulle have to do with Canada backstabbing Quebec, anyway. Quebec hadn't been a part of France for 204 years when he said "Vive le Quebec libre". They didn't back-stab De Gaulle. It was Canadian soldiers that died so that ingrate could come back to France and become it's ruler. It was none of his business. Worse, there were terrorist groups setting off letter bombs and 3 years later the FLQ, one of these terrorist groups, kidnapped a British diplomat and a Quebecois politician, Pierre Laporte, and murdering him. I suppose that you think that was deserving as well. Quebecois terrorists killing a fellow Quebecois.
British imperialism....that's how you describe WW2. The Nazis invaded Poland, then Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belguim and FRANCE. De Gaulle had to flee to the hated imperialist Britain so he could rule France in absentia. Of all the convoluted logic I've ever heard, this takes the cake. The imperialist British, gave De Gaulle refuge and then helped him to get his country back so he could be the president of France....IN FRANCE. That's the stupidest imperialism that I've ever heard of.
And guess who didn't want to help De Gaulle get his country back. The Quebecois. They could care less if France ever got from under the Nazi yoke. As far as they were concerned, De Gaulle could rot, hiding in England. It was the rest of Canada that was willing to fight to defeat the Nazis, not Quebec, and without the help of the Canadians, British, Americans and others, France would have remained under the thumb of the Nazi dominated Vichy government. The French would have really loved that. They were still smarting from the way the Franco/Prussian war ended that unified all the German states.
Your entire comment is whacked.
