Authors' Note:  In earlier days, national discussion focused on the two founding cultures, as Canada struggled with incorporating the remnants of two different European traditions with different religions, customs and even legal systems, into its institutions. Today's realizations and reality render the buzzword outdated and the situation even more complex.
