England 'least patriotic' country - Telegraph

Interesting. A recent poll, whose results I heard on CBC radio a couple of weeks ago, showed that 83% of folks in English Canada consider themselves "proud Canadians". In la belle province de Quebec, the figure is a stunningly high 65%. And this in a country where about one third of our citizens belong to a "visible minority." In Toronto, over half the population falls into this category. And even though you guys over the pond are always criticizing them, the Americans are not short on patriotism either (and Patriot missiles). So, why do the English, with such a long history of achievement, not feel proud of their land.
