The question of self-determination of nations in the modern world has acquired the same urgency as in the middle of the twentieth century. Attenuating ethnic conflicts flared up with renewed force. However, there are countries in which the rulers have a peaceful way to achieve unity of the nation.
One such country is Canada, whose population is divided into two large groups: the Anglo-Canadians and Franco-Canadians. After years of confrontation and repeated attempts to divorce, these nations are now part of one of the Canadian people. Moreover, the granting of independence for the province of Quebec with a predominantly French-speaking population is not as urgent as it was some ten years ago, when French-Canadians have actively advocated for self-determination of Quebec.
