I think if you've travelled out of Canada for long enough, you come back and notice that differences among Canadians are just petty differences. They're probably magnified if you haven't seen cultures that exist on the extreme opposite ends of the earth.
A friend from France once said that she was amazed that in a country as expansive as ours, we proudly claim the "Canadian" identity regardless of province and distance. That's something to definitely proud of; you would never find that in Europe, the middle east or Asia.
