We do not need to be giving special titles to places/people.

Oh yes, there are many distinct "cultures" in Canada, but surprising as it may seem to some people (especially those of us who have visited or lived there), Acadians/Cape Bretoners/Newfies do speak English and it is their primary language.
They also are governed by the same legal system as the rest of us (excepting Quebec), and they basically have the same type of school/educational system, and basically overall there isn't much difference between living in Alberta or living in Nova Scotia or Nfld.
