dude, Canada is Canada. what is so hard to understand? There are Provinces, they are in Canada, not Independent, but Jurisdictionally they have Rights that are their own.
Sure and Cyprus is Cyprus but these states are now independent Canadian provinces from their 'homelands' (England, Ireland, Scotland, France etc) though aren't they?
Relate this to Cyprus being an independent Greek Province for Cypriots with rights that are jurisdictionally her own..
...ok, both Cyprus and Canada have the same mother, it is the desire of Human Beings to live in a loving nature, Free, as Individuals. Persons who have a belonging to another Identity are just that, Persons. Provinces reflect the singular identity of being Canadian, (by respecting their electorate as Individuals) even though in expression they have quite different agendas. not unlike Cyprus, "foreign" flags fly, and someone who chooses to reflect a Nation has this Liberty, you may find many Fleurs de Lys, flying in Quebec, nothing stops the Union Jacks from flying, either. in effect, all Canadians are Canadian in defending the Freedom they have as a State, and all Canadians willingly accept as a Principal the recognition and respect as Canadians, they have for Canada's diversity. It is not that Ontario has as a "motherland", England, or that China is a "motherland" of BC, it is more as Persons that we choose to live our daily lives within a sphere that is different to our own, mostly because we like it.
Cyprus has the same opportunity as Canada, to be Bicommunal, and to define their Liberty, as well as their Freedom. why not a Greek Constituency where Greek schools and services are the first priority, but as a majority respectful to the special needs of the minorities amongst them, not unlike a Turkish Constituency, (and others), within Cyprus, a Country, as Citizens, their State?
