Originally Canada was only French Canadian when new France was taken over by the English colonies it became the province of Quebec. From there the English renamed it the province of Canada during the American revolution. From there it separated into Canada east and Canada west. Mainly French Canadians in east and English and American loyalist in the west. When the time came that Canada was united as a country in the hopes to raise their population Quebec and Ontario's population were almost equal Quebec might have even had more people so the answer to your question is without Quebec Canada's population would have been cut in half and Quebec saved Canada's but in a couple of wars.. war of 1812... Quebec was the original Canada. AKA, they didn't want to join, they had no choice.
