Quebec. The lower part of Quebec along the St Lawrence River was once part of New France. When defeated by the British in the 1700's they were allowed to stay and stay they did. That did not mean that they would ever forget their defeat at the hands of the British.

That, shall we say dislike, of the British was transferred to Canada when Canada Confederated even though the French were given special status in the Confederation.

As a result they do not want to see Canada succeed in certain areas, particularly the military and they sure as heck do not want Canada to spend time and money or French lives on wars helping the British.

The World War was seen as helping the British and helping the Canadian Military and conscription would get people of French descent killed for something they did not agree with.

Quebec has yet to sign on to the Canadian Institution and would almost certainly resist any moves towards conscription today unless it meant they could have control of all or part of the military created.
