I don't think non-aboriginal Canadians understand what it is like to have a blood connection to the land and history of a nation. It's such a young country and very little "Canadian" blood was spilled to establish and maintain the homeland. Europe (and most of the rest of the world) is different in that respect. Over the past 1200 years or so (when most of the last European nomads settled where they are now), it has been a constant battle to maintain homelands as Europe was an extremely violent continent.
The agricultural community in Alberta would disagree with you.
