In the Gnome Wars universe, there is no great French colonization effort in North America. The aggressive British expansion worldwide was a steady, but brittle crawl across Canada, which forced the independence of O'Canada even before the Americans below. and by the time of the American Uncivil War, the British were more focused on trying to retain British Columbia than its closer possessions that were truly in name only.
Quebec had just naturally developed from a collection of French gnomes travelling to avoid war... or just subject to the whims of The Wanderlust. They had set up shop in region, while a host of other gnomish and animal group settled the Maritime Region.
Largely ignored by the British, the Quebecois simply installed their own French-speaking governor was the British one passed away. It was entirely bloodless.
The current government of Quebec was established in 1850, after a group of angry Union veteran Leprechauns marched up to Quebec on a whim. The "Fed-Up-Ians" managed to sack the capital of Montreal (forcing it to move to the city of Quebec). The new government formed as the Leprechauns marched back, was freer Republic, with a dedication to Liberty and what they considered French culture. Rights were created and bestowed upon everyone with its borders...
... except the Hated Irish.
In the modern years leading up the German-American War, the Quebecois have formally reconnected with their original French brethren, gladly trading for advanced weapons and uniforms, although it's not surprising to see Canadian equipment at Quebec bases, with everything rewritten in French.
