Did the Canadians view the Quebecois as traitors after both Great Wars? if so, what is their opinion on them now?
How was the internal scene like in Britain and France post-Second Great War? Especially after Britain ceased to be a superpower and that France had suffered 3 defeats in a row to Germany?
I imagine that during the Occupied Canada era, many Canadians, especially those who had come of age in an independent country, did view the Québécois as traitors. That view faded with time, after the end of the SGW, and as a new postwar Canadian-American identity developed. In 2021, Canadian-Americans, like other citizens of the USA, generally view Quebec as just another independent country.

The respective economic and social situations in France and the United Kingdom in the immediate years after the end of the SGW was nothing short of bleak. It was a period marked in both countries by a near economic collapse and a struggle for survival. There was no equivalent of the OTL Marshall Plan, although the Germans and Austro-Hungarians ultimately provided some assistance for the reconstruction of London, Paris, Brighton, and Norwich. Both France and the United Kingdom experienced high levels of emigration during the first postwar generation, with most British emigres leaving for Australia and New Zealand and most French emigres (including virtually the entire French population of a forcibly decolonized Algeria) leaving for Quebec.
The French and British finally began to see an economic recovery during the 1960s, as part of the worldwide economic boom that proceeded the Fourth Pacific War.
