I dont know how you can talk about 'our (canadian) culture' without using
plurial.  Canada like many other countries (Swiss, Belgium...) do not have a 
true culture but is composed of a many cultures. For Canada that is an 
English Canadian culture and a French Canadian culture. The English Canadian 
culture (that I assume you are part of) would not lose anything in the event 
of a Que'bec separation. With or without separation, anyone who care may
enjoy our 'vibrant' French Canadian culture.
