That's a premptive shhh... and don't think I don't have a whole bag of shh right here with your name on it...
I totally see where you are coming from OFKUO. While I do see Quebec as distinct, but not seperate, I wish there was another way to point this out than the language we currently use...
As I see it we have:
CANADA
and it was created by three distinct nations:
English Canada -- French Canada -- Native Canada
French Canada is too frequently refered to as Quebec which, as you point out, does nothing to foster unity when you say something like, "Canada and Quebec." I would rather they said something like, "English and French Canada." BOTH are Canadian and as such share much, however, they distinction between the two language groups *is* important to make.
In the end, the language doesn't really matter if the attitude that supports it isn't there...
