"A recent poll by Ipsos Reid - the largest of its kind ever undertaken - found that although there are distinct differences in the way Canadians across the board define Canada, we ultimately still identify with the same things."

"'When you look at the overall numbers, you find out that there's two stories that come out,' said Marc Chalifoux, executive director of the Dominion Institute, who commissioned the poll alongside Citizenship and Immigration. 'One that ties Canadians together regardless of where they are from and one that's more closely associated - regionally and provincially.'"

"The ways we get there, however, highlight our differences."
