If I'm remembering correctly, the goals for Canada have always been keep the French in and the Americans out. The country was able to stand on its own feet through its loyalist and appeased French population, in limited cooperation with native American groups. That is a simple basis for Canadian identity. To complexify it, the immigrants who thrived and gave character to the Praries included Germanic immigrants. People may argue that the 'stalwart peasant in a sheep skin coat' of the yesteryears is the 'hard-working' indian immigrant today, but it simply is not true. There is an ineptitude and scammy nature to modern mass migration which has not given any sense of character to their settlements, and has had net negative social and economic effects due to nepotism of wealthy immigrants and incompetence.
Disregarding the French, British and Germanic histories in favor of the idea that Canada is a 'post-national' state makes its separation from the United States even less sensible. What justifies Canada being separate from America if does not have a distinct identity and instead has similar demographic goals as America?
The fact that the average soft nationalist liberal who has hammered out the need for Canadian programming and content in the past does not recognize the disaster of the 'post-national' doctrine shows that Canada is up 'schitt's creek' without a paddle.
