I would say there are roughly 11 different 'Canadas'. What I mean by that, is regions of the country that form fairly discrete cultural/geographical units.
From westernmost to easternmost ...
Yukon and NWT
the West Coast (the Lower Mainland and BC coast, plus Vancouver Island)
the BC Interior
The Prairies
Northern Ontario
Nunavut & Nunavik
Southern Ontario
Quebec
New Brunswick
Nova Scotia & PEI
Newfoundland & Labrador

If there is no single "Canada", then there is certainly no single "New Brunswick". Caraquet, Tracadie and Edmundston are about as different as you get from Minto, St. Andrews and McAdam. Much more different than Halifax and St. John's are from each other, for example.

Yup, although New Brunswickers are generally more relaxed about language then Quebeckers are (although I feel like I'm opening a can of worms, Acadians do worry about assimilation, the dynamic and point of view just seems very different however).
Not sure I would call it a lingustic "situation". It's more because of the language demographics.
NB is not like Quebec when it comes to language, although there are issues there - particularly in the Moncton area which is 60-40 between anglophones and francophones.
But aside from that much of the province is either all-French or all-English, so language issues are not that intense in those areas.

Pretty much it. There are issues there but it's all viewed through a different prism.
BTW - today is the Acadians' national day. Bonne fête à tous les Acadiens!
