The culture is adopting an individualistic slant and becoming much more polarized. I spent two weeks in Alberta/BC and it was very noticeable. The politics has slanted right. Not to the extreme of the States, but it's headed that way. Those in the mix rarely see these changes happening, but outsiders recognize the shifts because it is different from the last observation. Thor is right in what he says, Canadians are just too close to the change to see it.
