Yeah, as a Canadian, once you get a linguistic gap it really changes the political nature of a country. I mean, English Canada has the typical left-right tug-of-war, with the right going to the prairie provinces and the big cities of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver swinging left (the suburbs are the battleground)... but then you've got Quebec that's a completely separate game. They have their own political party that doesn't run candidates outside of Quebec.
When Canada was formed, there were four political parties - the English left/right and the French left/right.
A linguistic gap completely changes the political landscape, at a level that doesn't exist in purely-Anglophonic USA.
