Living the Canadian Life

“What does it mean to be Canadian?” It’s a question Canadians love to ask. Are Canadians聽defined by the sports they聽play? The foods they eat? The television shows they watch?聽The policies of their government? The fact that they’re “not Americans”? The answer is all of the above.

鈥淐ulture鈥澛爄s an obviously broad category聽that can include聽any number of topics聽depending on who鈥檚 setting the terms. In this section, we’re going to look at聽鈥渃ulture鈥 as Canadians traditionally define it, which is to say, the collection of things that聽provides a sense of purpose and聽patriotism聽to residents of the country, including both cultural products and聽social attitudes.

Our look at cultural products will include a survey聽of聽some of the most famous Canadian works of art, literature, and music,聽as well as television shows, movies, and sports. We’ll also examine the ways Canadians behave and think about themselves, and examine some of the political beliefs that are starting to play a larger and larger role in defining the Canadian identity.
