But thats not meant to be the purpose of this discussion, i find Anglo Canada (the parts i've been to are Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Atlantic Canada) to be overall a carbon copy of the US states directly beside the provinces in question. BC for example is nothing but Washington state with a horrible economy and sky high cost of living.
Quebec is the only province in Canada with an identity and cultural all it's own.

I get the feeling you have absolutely no idea of what you're actually talking about and what
identity and
culture actually entail.
Even if, say, the Maritimes are a
knockoff of New England, that doesn't mean they're not culturally different with a different identity to Ontario, or Manitoba, or BC. Are they similar to New England? Of course, it's a pretty homogenous area, but they have their own distinct culture and identity and I find it insulting that you even attempt to argue otherwise. Newfoundland is an entirely different kettle of fish and is the closest thing to experiencing Ireland as you'll ever experience without actually going to Ireland. Ontario, and its people, is the embodiment of culture and identity molding and melting into a large geographic area.
I'd love to hear of your experience in Atlantic Canada but I fear it'll be vitriol of how it's a stolen knockoff of New England and how
nobody there does
anything of any interest because it lacks culture and an identity.
