You do have a reason for existing?


I'm sure you're complaining about it too.

LOL! But please remember history -- many Canadians, especially
those in Ontario, are refugees from the American Revolution. They
had to leave and resented it. Other Canadians, especially those in
the West or Quebec are far less anti-American.

Hmm? That might be marginally true of "small town" Ontario, where
rural residents may have long term roots in a particular area.

But Toronto and Ottawa, the two largest cities, have between them
_millions_ of recent immigrants, whether from other provinces (rumor
has it that there are more Newfies in TO than there are in the
province of Newfoundland), or from other countries. Indeed, in
Toronto, people from English backgrounds are a minority.

They are _not_, by and large, refugees from the American Revolution,
but rather are refugees from the economic troubles of Italy in the
1950s, from the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and economic migrants
from various parts of Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

"Real concurrency---in which one program actually continues to
function while you call up and use another---is more amazing but of
small use to the average person. How many programs do you have that
take more than a few seconds to perform any task?"

Very true numerically. The same sort of things can be said
of many places, London today or New York City pre-WW2.

However, every place has a dominant culture that persists over long
periods of time. It's character, if you will. Most immigrants
try hard to fit in. Only when they are encouraged to form their
own subcommunities or arrive in large numbers (Vancouver in the
1990s) is the dominant culture rejected.

For Ontario, that culture is UEL. Look at politicians and media.
Immigrants are represented especially after they've assimilated.
