There is a Canadian culture that is in some ways unique to Canada, but I don't think Canadian culture coincides neatly with borders.

The Leader of the Opposition's constitutional obligation - the obligation to Parliament - it's the reason we did the merger! - is to make sure Canadians have an alternative for government.
