1.  It seems to work in the US.

2.  Then why did we create Canadian citizenship in 1947 and get rid of being just "British subjects" immediately following the war, and the Canadian flag came a bit later?  Answer:  nationalism.

3.  These things have been our motto for at least 30 years.  Why would we continue to rely on something for our nationalism that hasn't done nearly enough for it?  You're basically calling for the status quo.  It's not enough. 

4. You need a shared culture, not feel-good buzzwords. 

5. Quebec has a shared culture, therefore nationalism. 

6. You're saying 'yay multicultarlism", which is literally the exact opposite of a shared culture. 

 

1. It was never a big thing here, even years ago.  Trudeau Sr. remarked on it, famously.
2. You asked about WW 1 & 2 - they were before 1947.  Canada really came into its own afterwards.
3. Well - valid point.  I am actually just advocating for the same ideas as we have been doing but making it resonate more, making it specific and attaching it to who we are.
4. I don't think I provided feel-good buzzwords, you are just repeating criticisms that I already responded to.
5. Well, yes, except they have one.  Also it's confusing to such places when they realize they have to let foreigners and foreign money IN.
