Canada and the Canadian Question

Canada and the Canadian Question is an 1891 book written by British-Canadian author Goldwin Smith that analyzes 19th-century Canada. Smith calls the country a profoundly unnatural one, with no real reason to exist. He believes that it would be far more natural for the Canadian confederation and the United States to merge into a single country, with few significant differences between the two peoples.

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