give these threads a rest will you. Canadian cities are just fine the way they are, they are always ranked among the most liveable in the world.

If you like Tim Hortons move to Moncton...we have the most Tims per capita of any city in Canada (approx 34 in a CMA of less than 130,000)

i don't think quebec separation will be the thing that brings canada to its end, but a lot of cities have gone through a country or two in their history.

i don't think this nation will prove particularly eternal.

New France WAS Canada and its citizens were called canadians.

Quebecers have been canadian before the canadian nation even existed.

no New France was the area under the country of France...

Canada was the idea of a sovereign nation with British/French roots..

Wrong. If you study new france you will notice that its inhabitants were refered to as les `canadiens` before the brits came in and blew everything up and annexed it in 1759.

i was referring to the legal entity that came into existence in 1867; our current nation.

i'm aware that it used an existing name.

Well Thunder Bay existed before Canada, too. (It was a French settlement since the 1600s, and was given the name in the early 1700s.)
