The Canada-Is was the name which carried the oriental party of the Province of Canada between 1840 and 1867. It contained what is today the southernmost part of the Canadian province of the Quebec. The colony was especially populated by the descendants of the French colonists.
In the past, this colony was called the Low-Canada. Canada-Is the result of the legal application at the time of the Acte of Union of 1840 of one of the recommendations of the Rapport Durham following the revolt of the Patriots: Low-Canada was amalgamated with the High-Canada (today the Ontario) to form the union of the Province of Canada.
The economy of Canada-Was especially agricultural even if Montreal were then more the big city of the British colonies. At the time of the confederation, in 1867, the French-speaking people of Canada-Is had concerns vis-a-vis their minorisation with the Anglo-Saxons of the three other British colonies.
