Here is an example of it:

This one actually refers to Canada. It's not always the case with these discussions.
The guy who came up with the equation: Q=(F)+(GB)+(USA)2 - R + C is Yvan Lamonde, who actually wrote a book on the topic saying that Québécois were way more American than they thought they were.
There are lots of articles by him or quoting him.
Another interesting guy is Joseph Yvon Thériault. He's on the other side of the argument. Originally from NE New Brunswick but his studies are very focused on Quebec. He used to live in my neighbourhood (he is now in Montreal) and I used to take the bus with him on occasion when he was a professor at the University of Ottawa.
