In terms of my rooting and identity "circle" (quoting from Charles Taylor's book referenced earlier today) after the innermost one made up of family and friends, I'd say my primary one would be French-speaking Canada.

That's really my "nation" for all intents and purposes. It definitely spills out of Quebec and includes groups like Acadians and Franco-Ontarians.

I don't think this will come as a surprise to anyone who's been reading me for a while on here.

As such I don't really get excited when Schitt's Creek wins at the Emmys or Alessia Cara or Drake wins Grammys.

In fairness I don't get that excited when Québécois win at the Oscars or Cannes either.

But it does titillate a wee bit more than James Cameron winning an Oscar for Avatar, I must admit.
