Ontario's Identity : CARS and CARS and CARS, and highways and CARs

The concept of "identity" will be looked back on as the mullet of modern times.

Liberal woke self centered Toronto, boring pretentious Ottawa ,cottage country, farms smaller cities all immigrants …and no Ontario thinks it’s representative off all of Canada but it’s not the center of the universe …

Yes. Ontario is a lab experiment to answer this question: What happens when a culture engages in massive levels immigration from hostile cultures while the media and education systems ingrains in those hostile newcomers that the current citizens are extreme rac1sts and thieves that stole the land from the real owners. Enjoy !

Why should this be an issue to discuss? Did we solve ALL of our other problems: housing, hallway healthcare, inequality etc etc Why are some people obsessed with identity, and want to see the world through that. And they would go as far a creating one of it's not there.

Easier to say if you have a culture but they are told the don't. Is your culture important to you or do you take it for granted? I suspect you derive value from your culture, yes? Otherwise, totally agree with you, but without culture, there is no Canada. And culture is a ROI.

As a Quebecker, Ontario for me is "vanilla Canada". Neither Aboriginal Canada, nor Coastal Canada, nor European Canada, nor Prairies Canada, nor Pacific Canada, just Canada Canada. Although, "urban" is probably the distinctive characteristic that comes to my mind when thinking Ontario, even though there are urban areas in other provinces, it's on another scale in Ontario.

That's insightful actually. Ontario's culture used to be rural and when I visited Quebec, I was amazed by the cities, but found more culture rurally, a la cheese factory skidoo town, island off Quebec City, etc. Those Norman stone houses, wow. Urban sprawl corporate brands and thereby dilutes culture, so I see this too. I was born there, but avoid going there because yes, it may as well be upper New York state.

I’ve lived in 5 provinces and Ontario isn’t “emblematic of Canada.” Sorry folks, not even close. Only someone who doesn’t know the county would say something like. Imagine, Ontario is emblematic of Newfoundland! Give me a break. Or Quebec! It’s laughable, but it’s that arrogance/ignorance that pisses other Canadians off and IS the Ontario identity to the rest of Canada.

Yeah the "emblematic of Canada" is a BS response.

Well said! Nailed it. I live 4 timezones from Ontario, like the other side of Europe.

If Canada was a car, Ontario would be the engine. The heart and the soul. We have it all from nature to big cities to being super multicultural. We are like New York, California or Texas 👍

Heart and soul? No one outside of Ontario thinks that. The opposite in fact

@@brucewalsh-in6np Where is the Canadian international autoshow held? Where is the Canadian international airshow held? When FIFA announced the world cup was coming to Canada did you think they were going to Newfoundland? Taylor Swift almost snubbed Canada entirely! But when it was announced she was coming here did you think she was coming to Alberta? Get your head in the game son

No. We used to. We were kind the hips from all over the world. It used to be a meeting place. So manny cultures and everyone brought the best on everyone. Somehow, the same diversity that made us glue together and embrace who we are. Now make us hate each other and everyone that is not from our groupie and background. Toronto is a hate melting pot.

We drive a lot. From long commutes to regular road trips to Florida or elsewhere in North America. Suffering in traffic is our identity.
