Canada and the Canadian Question is an 1891 book written by British-Canadian author Goldwin Smith that analyzes 19th-century Canada, including its governance, Quebec's French roots, and the Canadian Confederation. [1] Its argument in favor of combining Canada with the northern states of the U.S. caused a furor. [2]

Smith's analysis would later inspire a 1986 "update" by Peter Brimelow entitled The Patriot Game . [3]
