Wish my French was better, because if push came to shove I think Quebec's values are far closer to mine than Alberta's, at least culturally and historically speaking. Quite often I feel that Quebec is the conscience of the country with regard to balancing personal liberty, equality, mutual responsibility and community. (However, I still wish that Canada would adopt the Turks and Caicos Islands because I hate our winters!)
