But those halcyon days are ending. Canada is losing ground - and influence - to competitors overseas, and some worry that the country's safe, even smug society could fall prey to the same ethnic tensions that afflict Europe and the U.S. Meanwhile, the lingering threat of secession from the French-speaking province of Quebec has been given new life by the recent election of a determined young separatist named André Boisclair to lead...
