Canadians all Canadians? Come on now, we have native self government, Nunavut self government, Quebec self government infringing on non french speaking peoples rights. Even the UN gave Quebec a slam for that. The Sihks in Vancouver have been soft handed for years to handle a lot of their own issues.
My wife , of aboriginal decent, was given 2 years to learn french or lose her job, and we live in the west where we all speak english and the few french people here have moved here for economic reasons and speak english also. And in some provinces you have health care extra dues and in others none. We have Provincial and GST in the west (except alberta and NT) and HST in the east. It takes less requirements of working to go on to unemployment insurance if you live in Quebec or the east coast then it does in the west, this was put in place by Martin just before the last election. We have 2 provinces that can decide the destiny of 8 provinces and 3 territories. Hard to imagine someone born and raised in Toronto or Montreal really understanding what is going on in Regina, Winnipeg, Peace River or Balgona . Interesting stuff.
