Quebec and Canada have so many historical juxtapositions, both as identities (Colons français > habitants > Canayiens/Canadiens > Canadien-français > Québécois) and as geopolitical entities (Nouvelle-France/Canada > Province of Québec <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Quebec_%281763%E2%80%931791%29" rel="nofollow">(v1.0)</a> > Upper Canada/Haut-Canada and Bas-Canada/Lower Canada > United Province of Canada/Canada-Uni > Québec, province of (Dominion of) Canada).
