To be honest your country's inner differences simultaneously confuse and interest me for this reason. Here in Canada, while there are some differences here and there, the majority of us are pretty similar in what we are--Canadians. (Except Québec and arguable the Newfies, everyone identifies themselves as Canadian, and what rivalries there are here are very timid and calm. The only time I can think of an exception is over hockey.)Versus the States, where each geographic area has its own distinctive traditions and accent, and that's just the surface of it. It's almost colourful in some obscenely chaotic way that makes it just... Interesting.
The most regional rivalry/ active dislike tends to go back and forth between the rest of the provinces and Quebec.
The territories are hugely different from anything you're used to, my friend had some rather... colourful stories from up there.
And my town has people from all over because it's pretty much a recession-proof region, so I can pick up right away from when people aren't from around my town. I have a harder time picking out Western accents and most of Ontario, but you can tell right away if someone's from the Maritime provinces. I generally don't see too much cultural friction between the various regions of Canada, safe for a few exceptions. I think we're more prone to celebrate our differences and focus on what makes us similar. Doubtless I have quite a different upbringing and values than most Westerners, but it's not enough for me to really find too many odds with them, for instance.
