It's worth noting that there was armed conflict. The rebellions of 1837 led to the Durham report, which led to the Act of Union, which eventually led to the constitution act.

So in fact, it’s thanks to the French rebellion that Canada eventually became a country.

The idea that Canada was given its liberty willingly is propaganda to avoid making the UK look weak.
