I dont know how you can talk about 'our (canadian) culture' without using plurial. Canada like many other countries (Swiss, Belgium...) do not have a true culture but is composed of a many cultures. For Canada that is an English Canadian culture and a French Canadian culture. The English Canadian culture (that I assume you are part of) would not lose anything in the event of a Que'bec separation. With or without separation, anyone who care may enjoy our 'vibrant' French Canadian culture. -------------------------------------------------------------------- From Michel J.
