First, I’d suggest that, despite what each group would claim, English and French Canadians are very similar. We both are animated by the fear of losing our identity and being absorbed into the broader North American melting pot. The key difference is that Quebec fears both absorption into Canada and the US, whereas English Canada only fears the US.

The issue in English Canada is that we can’t point to a different language or religion as clear differentiators and we can’t build institutions around those things, like they were able to in Quebec, either the Catholic Church or distinct, modern secular institutions.

So as a raison-d’être, we’re left with « loyalism » which has been dead since the 60s and, in any case, most English-speaking Canadians are not actually British in origin, so it’s a meaningless concept to most of us (although you see it come up with CANZUK, for instance).

But the siege mentality, the constant fear of absorption and dissolution, etc... is more similar than often recognized, although it’s more explicitly discussed in Quebec, whereas in English Canada, I think it’s more often subtext and comes out in the form of prejudices and attitudes.
