Question

When did Quebec become a part of canada??

Answer 1

By the Constitutional Act of 1791 the British separated the area west of the Ottawa River and created the colony of Upper Canada (now Ontario) there. Quebec became known as Lower Canada, and in 1791 the first elective assembly was introduced.

Upper and Lower Canada were reunited in 1841, and Quebec became known as Canada East.  With the formation of the confederation of Canada in 1867, Canada East became the province of Quebec.

Answer 2

Well, if you are talking after Confederation, then Québec was one of the first 4 provinces to join, (1867) along with Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.

Answer 3

Didn't someone ask that very same question only a couple of weeks ago?

Some folks - I swear...

Answer 4

Names aside, it always was.  In fact, you could say Canada is a part of Quebec.

Answer 5

The James Bay Cree of Northern Quebec were particularly vocal in their resistance to the idea of being included in an independent Quebec. Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come issued a legal paper titled Sovereign Injustice that sought to affirm the Cree right to self-determination in keeping their territories in Canada.

they organized their own referendum asking the question: "Do you consent, as a people, that the Government of Quebec separate the James Bay Crees and Cree traditional territory from Canada in the event of a Yes vote in the Quebec referendum?" 96.3% of the 77% of Crees who cast ballots voted to stay in Canada.

The Inuit of Nunavik held a similar local vote asking "Do you agree that Quebec should become sovereign?", with 96% voting No.

First Nations communities were an important contribution to the tense debate on a hypothetical partition of Quebec.
