- W2150389945 abstract "pendence from Britain. By 1905, there were nine provinces in Canada, and its territory expanded from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Despite significant industrial and urban development in Montreal and southern Ontario, Canada remained an outpost of the British empire, highly dependent economically on the export of staples like prairie wheat, northern ore, and British Columbian timber. As our southern neighbor emerged as a world power in the twentieth century, Canada moved out of the British sphere of influence-the queen and our continuing membership in the Commonwealth notwithstanding-and into the shadow of the American giant. Peripheral by virtue of its colonial history, Canada has also been characterized by its internal divisions, some of which fit into a center-edge model. The best known of Canada's internal divisions is its linguistic dualism-the historical cohabitation of a French-speaking minority concentrated in Quebec and an English-speaking population that constitutes the vast majority of every other province. French-Canadian nationalism and the growing movement for the sovereignty of Quebec (there have been two provincial referendums on the question since 1980, the second of which, in 1995, was lost by the independantistes by less than one percentage point) has been the major political story in Canada for a generation. But Canadians also live in a society divided by region, by ethnic and racial origins, and by social class, gender, and the other attributes that historians Ramsay Cook and J. M. S. Careless called Canada's limited identities.' These historians were among the first to argue that Canada's identity is to be found in its very diversity. But with diversity, as they would certainly acknowledge, have come social and economic imbalances, political grievances, and sometimes open conflict. Ongoing debates concern aboriginal self-government; employment equity for women; oil-rich Alberta's resistance to the Kyoto accord on climate change; continuing underdevelopment and unemployment in Newfoundland; the costs and benefits of the North American Free Trade Accord (NAFTA) of 1992; and continued fragmentation on the political right. All are important issues on the current Canadian agenda that can be better understood in this context." @default.
