Self Identification

edit

They should be somewhere the fact that most people (60%) in the province of Quebec consider themselves Quebecer first, while 20% said Canadian first, and 20% said both. Cutting down by linguistic group could be interesting too. I'm not sure where, this page is loosely structuredEnteka2010 (talk) 14:57, 26 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

edit

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:48, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Embarrasing

edit

So much of this page is just completely biased and not based on any sort of factual evidence. The "Regionalism" section is particularly bad. "The North is a lot colder than the rest of Canada, it also receives drastically differing hours of sunlight per day, depending on the season." This has nothing to do with Canadian identity; this sounds like it was pulled from a fourth grade social studies project. Also, why is the East described as "Quebec, and Ontario, mainly"? Does that mean the Maritimes and entire Atlantic Canadian sphere is irrelevant to Canada? This is pathetic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.255.48 (talk) 03:15, 4 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

I haven't looked at this article for some time, but I saw it today and identified the same problems with the "regionalism" section even before I saw your comment at all. The whole thing was a risible and poorly sourced collection of primarily geographical factoids, which did almost nothing to elucidate the real cultural distinctions that do exist from one Canadian region to another — and in some cases, like asserting that a First Nations presence is unique to the west and is not found in Ontario or Quebec or the Atlantic provinces, was simply wrong. There would absolutely be a place in this article for a properly written and properly sourced section about the impact of regional cultural distinctions on the overall sense of Canadian identity, but that section as written wasn't it and has accordingly been removed.
