What were Canada East and Canada West renamed in modern times?

• A. Manitoba and Saskatchewan
• B. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
• C. Quebec and Ontario
• D. Alberta and British Columbia

Answer: (C)

When the Province of Canada existed before Confederation, its eastern part was known as Canada East and its western part as Canada West. After Confederation, those two areas became independent provinces and were renamed to reflect their new identities: Canada East became Quebec, and Canada West became Ontario. So the modern equivalents are Quebec and Ontario. The other options refer to different provinces that were formed or existed separately, not the renaming of Canada East/West.
