Where in the heck did he say that Quebec was superior or whatever? Stop 
trying to read between the lines! You obviously aren't very good at it. 
The guy just said that the differnce between people from Quebec and, say, 
Ontario, was bigger than that between people from Texas and California. 
That's what he meant when he said that the level of difference wasn't 
the same. I have always wondered why people always equate distinct with 
superior, while, actually, it means different.

Well, it is a matter of opinion. The use of "we" is somewhat dangerous. 
I, for one, consider, myself Quebecker first and foremost. I'm only 
accessorily Canadian, or technically, if you want.

Things might change, or they might not. God only knows.
