And the street signs in the French language in Victoria, BC are a bit - well - you understand! [~1

Bilingual everywhere. Last flight Air Canada or WestJet, I put my headphones on full blast because it's so annoying to hear the same message on a recording in French.

That was my experience in BC as well. Very "Seattle" like all around. With friends scattered across Canada I get a small slice of politics and beliefs as well. One of my tech mentors, a CTO, is a Quebecois national as well. A great friend of mine.

You get the same separation across our nation as well. Left coasters don't understand the Civil War re-enactments very well. Having lived in a fly-over state for the last 20 years, and now in Florida, lifestyle is definitely different.

The article pretty well sums up what I see happening across the US as well. Too many echo chambers, not enough "get out and meet your neighbor".

That is sad. And, unfortunately, the reality we've allowed ourselves to gently settle into.

SSgt (Join to see) the quebecers female leader wanted to break Canada into but keep the Canadian dollar. The problem is that Quebec is like a black hole in Alberta and Saskatchewan supports that provinces so if they were to secedes from Canada they would be bankrupt like Venezuela overnight.

During my days in Colorado Springs, I visited Alberta (Calgary) a few times and the people were always very friendly. Beautiful country and a positive experience.

Calgary now has Carl's Jr and black and white cop cars. It is becoming more like Colorado. It even has PBS from Eastern Washington.
