Canada Is Not A Country

[Admiral Ackbar]

I have said on numerous occasions here on the forum.

Canada is not a country.

At best it is a collection of people that happen to live in the same territory.

This is a similar opinion.

Even the $#@! PM Justin Trudeu agrees.

till, Trudeau may have been right about one thing when he told The New York Times that Canada had no core identity—although this is not what a Prime Minister should say in public. Canada was always two “nations,” based on two founding peoples, the French and the English, which novelist Hugh MacLennan famously described as “two solitudes” in his book of that title. But it may be closer to the truth to portray Canada as an imaginary nation which comprises three territories and ten provinces, two of which, Quebec and Newfoundland, cherish a near-majoritarian conception of themselves as independent countries in their own right. Newfoundland narrowly joined Confederation only in 1949 and Quebec held two successive sovereignty referenda that came a hair’s breadth from breaking up the country.

I thank God every day I live in the United States!

God Bless America and God Bless Donald Trump

Anytime you have a situation where more than one language is spoken you will have issues with dual cultures. Whenever a different language is spoken those speaking it demand a separate identity. Canada has French and English as "national" languages. The United States is fast becoming a dual language country with Spanish and English spoken (there are places here in Florida where the first language listed is Spanish!). I had always said we were a unified country because we all spoke a common language (yes yes, I know there are pockets where a different language is spoken but those places only verify my thesis, they do not blend well into the mainstream). However, we are rapidly losing our "One from Many" identity.
