Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada
became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British
crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel
with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Its
paramount political problem continues to be the relationship of the province
of Quebec, with its French-speaking residents and unique culture, to the
remainder of the country.
