	Canadian identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canadian identity refers to the set of characteristics and symbols that a majority of Canadians regard as expressing their unique place and role in the world.
		Primary influences on the "Canadian identity" are the existence of many well-established First Nations and the arrival, beginning in the 15th Century, of French and British settlers.
		Though Canadians continue to recognize Queen Elizabeth II as head of state, the British aspect of the national identity is barely evoked anymore.

		Canadians have long struggled with the idea of creating a distinct Canadian identity that separates the identity and culutre of their country from that of the United States.
		Canadian conservatives on the other hand tend to be more supportive of such "American-style" ideas, and may look to certain US policies as a model to emulate, rather than avoid.

	Jennifer VanderBurgh on Canadian Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The familiar concept of "Canadian culture", and hence Canadian cinema, within critical terminology is essentially based on the principle that the ideology of a national identity, supposedly limited by such tangible parameters as lines on a map, emerges from a common geographical and mythological experience among its people.
		The rapport that was established between Goin' Down the Road and its Canadian viewer arose perhaps not because it encapsulated a supposed "Canadian identity", but rather because it reflected the ability of the film to portray the essence of the ideology of "regionalism"; a conception of the "Canadian" within late 1960s Canadian society.
		Without necessarily reflecting a "Canadian identity" to Canadians, at the very least the film holds a mirror to the environment in which it was produced.

		Canadians, for a variety of reasons, have been engaged in clarifying, debating and disputing the nature of the Canadian identity for many a decade, and in the 1970s, Margaret Atwood and Robin Mathews locked horns and squared off on this pertinent and timely issue.
		Canadian poets were made to feel that if their poetic style and content did not echo, ape and imitate the vision and view of the American Beats and Black Mountain School, they were somehow inferior.
		Canadian Literature was, for all intents and purposes, Mathews’ sustained rebuttal of Atwood’s Survival.

		Since the larger American population tends to dominate North America and Canadian mannerisms and accents often seem indistinguishable from their neighbouring Americans, Canadians are often confused for Americans by many foreigners and Americans alike.
		Critics of the idea of a fundamentally "liberal Canada" such as David Frum argue that the Canadian drive towards a more noticeably leftist political stance is largely due to the increasing role that Québec plays in the Canadian government (three of the last four Prime Ministers have been Quebecers.
		Many Canadians are of the firmly held belief that Americans have an ignorant or dismissive view of Canadian reality.

		However, the 'The Canadian Identity' is based on our valuing these institutions, flawed though they may be, and that we put the compassionate care of others high on the list, as opposed to other places where the right to individual greed is the 'summum bonum' of life.
		I believe that Canadian values of compassion and progressiveness are indicated by the success of our social and political institutions such as health care, employment insurance etc.
		Canadian's have really nothing to be patriotic about, because our country does not stand for anything.

		True, the inflammatory cover is hyperbolic — especially when Canadian scientists are leading the fight for a SARS cure, a Canadian filmmaker is the toast of Cannes, the Loonie is surging and our economy is the best in the G-7.
		Canadians appear to be 30,000,000 or so souls with little in common inhabiting a fairly large plot of ground, much of which is inhospitable to modern habitation.
		Canadians feel they are entitled to criticize American politicians and policies whenever, wherever and however they wish, but any American criticism of Canadian policies is decried as interference in Canada's internal affairs and an intolerable infringment of Canada's sovereignty.

	The Mad Perseid: The Canadian Identity
		In the past, the Canadian identity included a great deal of pride in the accomplishments of the Canadian Armed Forces during WWI, WWII and other conflicts.
		These days, the Canadian identity seems to include a large dose of what our previous Prime Minister called “Da Canadian Values”, a vague, unidentifiable mass of platitudes all centered around universal health care(it isn't), heritage(hockey, it's on our five dollar bill), soft power(unarmed peacekeepers, they're on our ten dollar bill) and multiculturalism(it isn't).
		There is one more aspect to the modern Canadian identity that is sometimes covered up, often worn proudly and always so self-destructive that most people don't even realize it's poisoning them.
