Their current Prime Minister, the effete wussy Mark Carney, could also use a thorough regimen of testosterone replacement therapy. Then, maybe he could grow a pair and effect some “muscular liberalism” as expounded by ex-U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron.
Lacking identity, Canada is a confusing hodgepodge of cultures. In addition to the indigenous natives, their roots are mainly British, but also French. The last is particularly problematic.
About 22% of Canadians speak French. Many live in the province of Quebec. Another heavily French-influenced area is Ontario, particularly around Ottawa, where the federal government is situated.

By contrast, the regions of Canada that enjoy more British influence are relatively more sensible. Alberta and Saskatchewan, for example, benefit from early British and Commonwealth settlement patterns. Alberta in particular has strong cultural and economic ties to the U.S. The province is widely considered the most U.S.-friendly and culturally American-leaning province in Canada.
There is a non-binding vote pending on whether Alberta should secede. Current polls indicate secession support could be as high as 30%, and after decades of Alberta subsidizing the rest of Canada, one can understand why.
The Canadians are testing the rationale of sovereignty in the nation-state era. After all, how can a nation be a nation if it has no national identity (or border)?
