For homework read pages 166-67 and answer questions 1 & 2

  19. British Legacy Con’t • Between 1790 and 1845, more than 750 000 immigrants arrived in Canada. because of conditions in Europe • What difference might this influx of British immigrants make to Francophones in Québec? To First Nations, Métis, and Inuit?
