Canadians Proud But Question Future | Edmonton News

Canadian pride is surging, with 84% of Canadians now feeling good about their identity — up from 76% last year — possibly fueled by U.S. politicians’ comments about Canada becoming a “51st state.” Yet, beneath the enthusiasm, a quarter of Canadians doubt the country’s long-term survival, as some provinces even discuss separation. British Columbia and the prairies lead in pride, while Quebecers are less enthusiastic. The poll, taken after a major soccer win, may have boosted sentiment, with older Canadians, women, and Liberals most proud — and younger Canadians less so. While most believe Canada will stay intact, western provinces feel particularly sidelined, revealing a complex mix of unity and regional unease.
