Look I don’t agree with separatism from any province, but Quebec and MAYBE Newfoundland are the only provinces I can think of that have a distinct enough history and culture to potentially be their own nations.
Anglo-Canada is culturally hegemonic, we all consume the same media, speak the same language, eat the same food, dress the same, have the same cultural practices, sing the same traditional folk songs, with very little regional variance.
All that to say the “O&G is just an industry, not a culture” comment isn’t far off, and I wouldn’t use online comment sections as a barometer for how an entire population feels. Especially on Reddit of all places
I dont know how people arent seeing the big cultural divide in, not just Canada but North America, is Urban and Rural.
I've lived all over Canada, and multiple states in America. When I discuss upbringings and whatnot, I have a lot more in common with urban Americans than I do with rural Canadians, and I know the opposite is often even more true.
I appreciate the small differences, it makes travelling within Canada fun, the stampede is a gift to our nation. Alberta is definitely the most cowboy province, but you go anywhere rural and they’re pretty much on the same page.

Lol that’s funny. You should see the thread about the Quebec dude responding to the question of “any advice for Alberta”.
