What it really goes to show is that mulitculturalism is generally a failure. A nation of different langages and values can exist for a while, and the groups can tolerate eachother, but it does not make for a cohesive society. I suspect that in the end this will happen to Canada as well.

IIRC, that almost came to pass in the late 70's.

Possibly, maybe related to this topic.

John Perry Barlow: Internet has broken political system

“The political system is broken partly because of Internet,” Barlow said. “It’s made it impossible to govern anything the size of the nation-state. We’re going back to the city-state. The nation-state is ungovernably information-rich.”

Doubtful.

Canada isn’t just Flemish and Walloon, French and English.

Western Canada has no love for central canadians, be they french or English.

It would have to be Western Separatism, which has picked up considerably.
