Who were the main French Nationalists and what did they stand for? Henri BourassaLionel Groulx

Issues between English and French speaking Canada have been an ongoing issue ever since the two nations began to settle in North America. The time between 1914-1929 was no different. From the passing of Regulation 17 in 1912, to conscription crisis in 1917, the friction between the two largest groups in Canada was very heated.

In 1912, the Canadian government passed Regulation 17. This new regulation restricted the use of French to the first two years of school. It was applied throughout Ontario. French Canadians were appalled by this decision, especially Franco-Ontarians and in the city of Ottawa.

In 1914, Quebec journalist Henri Bourassa denounced the Regulation, calling the government "Prussians (Germans) of Ontario." Since World War was still going on, this term was a huge insult. Although the regulation was eventually repealed in 1927, bilingual schools in Ontario only became officially recognized in 1968. This is just another case of the on-going issues between French and English Canada.

“Let us be French as the Americans are English.” Born in 1868 in Montreal, Quebec. He started in politics at the age of 22, becoming the mayor of Montebello, Quebec He began his political activism by protesting Canada’s involvement in The Second Boer War. He was heavily opposed to conscription during WWI
11
“Let us be French as the Americans are English.” Once again during WWII he fought hard against conscription. Bourassa is considered one of the fathers of French Nationalism in Canada. He died on August 31, 1952 at the age of 83 in Outremont, Quebec
12
He was born in Vaudreuil, Quebec in 1878. He was a Catholic priest, author, teacher and historian. When studying Canadian Confederation, he believed that Canada was created to allow English Canada to dominate politically, religiously and economically. He believed Quebecers needed to fiercely oppose any kind of English influence
13
Many of his books and teachings were written to revive the French language and French Canadian culture He also wanted to create a think tank so that the French Canadian nation's elites would find ways to help French Canada's underdevelopment and exclusion from big business He died in Vaudreuil, Quebec in 1967.
14
After high casualties during the Battle of the Somme, Canada desperately needed new soldiers. Since Canadian men stopped volunteering fast enough to replace the soldiers, the government saw conscription as the best course of action. English Canada seemed to be in favour of conscription, however French Canada was extremely opposed.
