3 founding, don't forget about the indigenous. More unity problems there. I guess we basically have a power-sharing agreement between anglo-canada, quebec, and the indigenous.
Our constitution isn't going to change so I think we should focus on our commonalities and grow the Canadian identity, instead of only focusing on what is bad about Canada or why the feds suck.
Agree, but as pointed out by Squid, we have so much regional resentment and protectionism. People make fun of Trudeau for always referring to "Canadians" but I actually like that he does. He tries to bring unity into the picture.
I think promoting tourism is a great way to achieve unity. I have to say that I was the typical westerner growing up not understanding why Quebec hates Canada until I went there and saw just how much they ARE a nation within a nation.
There really isn't much of a glue I don't think (just IMO) but best we can do is try to promote some of understanding. I'll be the first to admit though that I have no interest in going to Alberta and trying to understand them. The resentment runs deep.
We are a bit of a paradox as a nation.
