I doubt most people would even notice a real difference in their day-to-day lives if it happened. Unless Canadians were being rounded up and put in gulags, I don't think the change would be worth dying over.

Many regions, states and even cities have maintained unique identities within the U.S., so I don't see why a "North American" country couldn't have 10 provinces with distinct Canadian identities. Also, perhaps not a popular opinion here, but I consider Americans and Canadians to be basically the same culture.

I'm also convinced that nation states as we know them won't exist in the next 100 years anyway.
