The article you posted is NOT about Alberta saying they are poutine capital. For the third time, you are making the wrong analogies. -- nm*

Which in this circumstance is one and the same in terms of how Quebec relates to it. -- nm

I don't see how Canada overall adopting a dish from a province is saying Canada has first dibs on it.

I guess I don't see the choice here. Why can't it be both? I mean, hell, it has always been both by definition.

TBC: I get they have their unique culture. They celebrate and they should. But it's a basic fact that they are part of Canada.

OK, more. IMO Quebec isn't very well understood either within Canada or outside Canada.

It can be, yes. It can go the other way, too (cuisine adoption can actually bastardize the origin).
