The duality of Canada, with TWO founding nations, first French then English, has been the basic source of division since the conflict in 1759. In order to be able to rule the Quebecers, after their defeat at the Plains of Abraham, in 1759, the British allowed the French speakers to keep their own laws ( The Napoleonic Code ) and their own language and to elect their own legislature members. For that time period that was very unusual and very forgiving. Unfortunately that also laid the groundwork for the idea that Quebec was "special " which they have been using ever since to try to get as much as they can, from the rest of Canada.
