example of people who have contending
loyalties to their ancestry and Canada

Quebec
• Quebecois have along history of grappling with
contending nationalist loyalties. There have been
conflicts regarding conscription in both world
wars as well as two referendums on Quebec
sovereignty. Conflict between federalists and
sovereignists.

Newfoundland
• Because Newfoundland joined confederation so
late, they developed their own sense of
nationalism. July 1, is commemorated not only
as Canada Day, but as the anniversary of the
battle of Beaumont-Hamel, the bloodiest day in
Newfoundland history, where the
Newfoundland Regiment was all but wiped out.

• Most immigrants are aware that Canada is a civic
nation. They know that the law guarantees them
the same rights as all other Canadians. Canada
has cultural pluralism and official
multiculturalism. Diversity is celebrated.
![Page 13: Reconciling Nationalist Loyalties - EICS](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020707/61fd938728388036394df934/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• But the vision of Canada as a bilingual and
multicultural society has also sparked debate as
to how far a pluralistic nation should go to
accommodate and protect the rights of
minorities.
![Page 14: Reconciling Nationalist Loyalties - EICS](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020707/61fd938728388036394df934/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• There is concern that multiculturalism and
pluralism are encouraging people to remain loyal
to their home country/culture rather than to
Canada. Ever since Confederation, people have
disagreed over whether the idea of reasonable
accommodation supports or undercuts the
shared sense of Canadian identity.

• Reconciling can mean to come to terms with the
past or mending a broken relationship. When
people of nations disagree, or when their
national loyalties lead them to pursue
contending goals, an attitude or reconciliation
can bring them together and enable them to
coexist in peace.
