For which Canadian province were Vanier’s actions met with hostility when he was appointed governor general?

  • Quebec

  • Ontario

  • Manitoba

  • British Columbia

Answer

Vanier's actions were met with hostility in Quebec when he was appointed governor general because he was a Francophone and a Catholic. This was at a time when Quebec was experiencing a strong separatist movement, and many people felt that Vanier's appointment was a sign that the federal government was trying to impose its will on Quebec.
