You've answered your own question.

You've answered your own question. 

You belong to the cultural group which you have identified as BC. You
reject accomodations made for french and natives, they must adapt to your
culture to be part of BC. You're position mirrors that of D. Beauregard.
He identifies with the culture of Quebec. He also states that natives and
the hated dreaded anglo's have their own schools. He also complains about
the exploitation of Quebec (in your case BC) by Ontario.

You two are so alike that you could be twins. Your political ideology and
his are identical. The fact that this ideology is incompatible with Canada
is a fact stated by both of you.

Neither of you are saying anything new. We have heard it all before and
we will hear it all again. Come on, tell us how you are exploited by all
those others in different provinces.

}now and in BC's past.

}The Pacific Rim and Cascadia represent the future for BC.

Now you're just repeating yourself. We already know that BC is oppressed by
CSCB (Canada sans Columbie Britanique). You've told us this so often
and at such great lenght. You and our beloved Beauregard (of excuse me
but the FLQ are really nice guy fame) should get different song books.

}So tell me, what 'dominant culture' do I represent?

Come now. You keep telling us yourself.
