I'm late to this discussion and haven't read through every page of posts, but my take: I feel more in common with the United States than I do with Quebec. This is because of shared popular culture, our language, and the fact that most of the people I do business with are in the United States. Whenever I go into Quebec, I feel like I'm in another country, but when I go into New York or Michigan, I feel like I'm near home. But that's only me, as one Canadian.
