Nor do we have a distinct identity, as Canada prides itself on being the melting pot of the world - which is great on one hand, but truly - Canadians have no distinct sense of identity, certainly not the way Lancashire folk do.

I would think that melting pot is what makes Canada the Country it is. A sense of identity can have its advantages, but can also at times can come with some baggage.
