Canadian literature primarily refers to literary works written by authors who define themselves as Canadian (including those who may reside elsewhere), and to a lesser extent, by authors who reside in Canada, and yet may identify with a different national identity.
It cannot be described as malicious (although at Canadian literature's beginning, re-invasion by the U.S. was a legitimate fear), but is better seen as mild sibling rivalry, and may tie in with Canada's loyalty to the underdog as opposed to the haughty hero, two roles played by Canada and the U.S. in Canadian mythology.
Canadians have been known to be good at laughing at themselves, which ties in nicely with their ability for satire and humour.

The story begins literally the day of the author’s birth in 1873 as the first chapter examines the anticipation felt in the family home, the preparations required for welcoming a new baby, and the male reaction when “another” girl is born.
Her story is accessible as it covers the domestic and social details of her community but it also confronts the tough issues of the day.
The story might not stop here, as this analogy is based on a woman and we all know it's a woman's perogative to change her mind, the plot line might come to another curve instead of to the end.

 The 1997 James Tiptree, Jr. Award: Short List   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
But Donoghue doesn't deconstruct Perrault and the Brothers Grimm so much as she reconstructs them in a series of interlocking stories, letting the heroine of one tale grow into the villainess of the next, who then becomes the benign crone of the next, and so on.
Her stories are ribald and often harsh in their assessments of male/female relations, and damning of the ways in which women--in fairy tales and real life--too often give in to what seems to be a preordained fate, rather than struggling for independence.
This historicity helps put over the story of a young woman coming to understand her supernatural powers in the wake of an unhappy love affair.

 Literature of Canada (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-2.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Leon Surette writes, "a disproportionate amount of commentary on Canadian writing has been cultural history (or prophecy) rather than truly literary commentary." At the end of the debates, the verdict almost always returned is that there is a Literature and an "identity" distinctly Canadian.
For instance, the Literature of Canadian women, Acadians, aboriginal Canadians, and Irish-Canadians have been anthologised as bodies of work.
A third way has been to divide it by literary period, such as "Canadian postmoderns" or "Canadian Poets Between the Wars." Of course, as usual, Canadian Literature is often studied in genre divisions as well, such as "poetry," "prose," "drama," and "criticism."

Writers using this theme include Mordecai Richler (known for novels such as The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz), Michael Ondaatje, writer of the famous book The English Patient and prolific Chinese Canadian writer Wayson Choy.
