America is a huge fucking country.
Canada's bigger. What's your point.

Is Canada really all that different, or should I ask someone from Quebec what they think about it?
[In all srsness to the joke:] They've had separation votes. They fail every time. Most Quebecers like Canada. I honestly don't remember the last time I even heard anything about Separation.

I'm not sure what any national or state government could do about much anything you mentioned. Culture supersedes laws,
I agree with both of you.
But while I don't think changing a law will immediately change social stigma, I can guarantee nearly 100% that not changing that law won't change shit.
Just (for general example) take gay marriage in the south. I'm pretty sure everyone would agree that "the south" tends to hate gay marriage. That is a social thing. But gay marriage is also illegal, so there is no opportunity for future generations to get acclimated to the idea of gay marriage. At least if you make gay marriage legal, while people will still disagree with it off the bat, future generations might not. Social growth.

Also on the Quebec thing. The seperatist party lost the vast majority of their seats last election.

What about the Alaskan seperatist movement huh? Todd Palin was all over that shit.

My point with Quebec wasn't about separation, it was about how areas of countries have vastly different cultures from province to province or state to state. The larger the country the more pronounced the differences. It's about location and population, not nationality, whether we're talking about Redneck England or Hockeybeeristan.

Never considered myself an American. I'm a New Yorker. Upstate might as well be the deep south to me. The only time I've ever been between the coasts was to catch a connecting flight in Dallas, and I was too young to even remember it.

See? This is what's wrong with the country.
