Quebecer ineligible for French citizenship (Montreal Gazette)

From the Montreal Gazette:

The French consulate in Montreal says Marie Mance Vallée isn't eligible for French citizenship because the land she considers her mother country lost the battle of the Plains of Abraham.
The consulate sent an email to The Gazette in response to a report in yesterday's paper that the Montreal woman was trying to reclaim her French citizenship because her ancestors came from France.
