Under British rule the 65,000 French speaking inhabitants had a single aim to retain their traditional language and culture.
As a result Briton passed "The Quebec Act" in 1774 which granted official recognition of the French to speak French and to retain their religious practice & culture.
By 1837-38 the population of Upper & Lower Canada (Ontario & Quebec) became so large The British Government joined the two colonies to unite by forming the Province of Canada.
In 1848 the joint colony was granted autonomy to form a responsible Government but remained part of the British Empire.
This union was effected by passage on July 1st 1867, of the British North America act, formerly known as Dominion Day the name was
changed to Canada day in 1982 when the constitution was revised.

The 10 Provinces, 3 Territories, their Flags & Capitals.
Canada consists of 13 political divisions: 10 provinces and 3 territories.
The territories are :- Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon.
The Provinces are :- Alberta... British Columbia...Manitoba...New Brunswick...Newfoundland & Labrador...Saskatchewan...Nova Scotia...Ontario...Prince Edward Island...Quebec...
The major difference between a Canadian province and a Canadian territory is that a
province is a creation of the Constitution Act (17 April 1982), while a territory is created
by federal law.
Thus, the federal government has more direct control over the territories, while provincial governments have many more competences and rights.

The Canadian Flag
There is no reason behind the use of the red maple leaf. During the second world war the troops fought
under a red ensign. Prior to this the national flag was the Union Jack of Britain.
This new flag was first used on the 15th. Feb.1965 & is now celebrated every year on "Flag Day".
Royal Military College of Canada. |
After considering many submitted designs the Canadian Government accepted the design sent in by George Stanley who based his design on The Royal Military College of Canada's flag.
Union Jack of Briton |
This is the flag used before Canada became a republic. It is the British flag.
The Union Flag, known as the Union Jack, is the national flag of the United Kingdom.
It is made up up of individual Flags of three of the countries. England, Scotland & Northern Ireland. Since 1921 only Northern Ireland
has been part of the United Kingdom. As Wales was not a Kingdom but a Principality it could not be included on the flag.

used today.

children and treats are usually little pieces of candy.
Halloween celebrations in Canada began with the arrival of Scottish and Irish immigrants in the
1800s.
The Irish have a story about the origin of Jack O’Lanterns who was a man who could not enter
heaven because he was a miser, and he was unable to enter hell because he had played practical
jokes on the devil.
Therefore, he was left to saunter the earth until Judgment Day.
Jack walked around with a lantern in his hand, which had a hot coal placed in a hollowed-out turnip, which today is symbolized
in the form of a pumpkin.
