Charlatan

Just for clarity... this doesn't qualify in your list.

What later became Lower Canada and then Quebec was granted to England by the French in exchange for some other English territories.

The Quebequois were not a conquered people but rather a people abandoned by their colonial homeland.

You must also note that once that trade occured the French who stayed behind, were not squashed, or culturally obliterated. They were encouraged to maintian their customs, laws, etc. This compromise position is at the heart of what it means to be Canadian...

While America is a melting pot... Canada is a mosaic.

There are those in Quebec who would like to seperate but this is not due, as your list would suggest, to oppression of any sort.
