The Republic of Canada in 2009
The flag of the Republic of Canada
Since the end of the war in 1870, Canada has changed drastically. The monarchy was dissolved, and Canada officially became a republic. The Governor General was replaced by an elected President and the Red Ensign was replaced. French was given equal status to English, and Metis were to be recognized as full citizens. A massive increase in French immigration followed, and French Canadians became the new ruling class. While most citizens are happy with the current situation, the Anglophone community in the province of British Columbia has strong separatist tendencies, and almost voted for independence in 1995. After the vote, the Canadian government devolved language responsibilities to the provincial governments. British Columbia has since passed many laws promoting and protecting the status of English.
