That’s fine with me. I don’t cry for the loss of Andrew Coyne’s dream state. I don’t want the homogeneous (although supposedly diverse), post-national liberal “civic nationalist” polity which there are only individuals and governments. (And by governments, he means the Federal government, with the judiciary at the apex.) Yuck.

The trouble is not with the Québécois (OK, there are troubles there — an overweening state, an excessive reaction to a Catholic past, but the point is, those are NOT OUR TROUBLES). The trouble is us, our inability to reestablish an identity when the British Empire passed away, other than the identity of consumers and rights holders. ~Pithlord 

Reihan has a few words to say about the demise of the dream that was Canada.  The short version?  “Weird.  Very weird.”
