	Culture
		By the late nineteenth century, anthropologists argued for a broader definition of culture that they could apply to a wide variety of societies, they began to argue that culture is human nature, and is rooted in the universal human capacity to classify experiences, and encode and communicate them symbolically.
		As a rule, archeologists focus on material culture, and cultural anthropologists focus on symbolic culture, although ultimately both groups are interested in the relationship between these two dimensions.
		Cultural studies developed in the late 20th century, in part through the reintroduction of Marxist thought in sociology, and in part through the articulation of sociology and other academic disciplines such as literary criticism, in order to focus on the analysis of subcultures in capitalist societies.

		There resulted a belief in cultural relativism; the belief that one had to understand an individual's actions in terms of his or her culture; that one had to understand a specific cultural artifact (a ritual, for example) in terms of the larger symbolic system of which it forms a part.
		Modern cultural theory also considers the possibility that (a) culture itself is a product of stabilization tendencies inherent in evolutionary pressures toward self-similarity and self-cognition of societies as wholes, or tribalisms.
		Cultural studies developed in the late 20th century, in part through the re-introduction of Marxist thought into sociology, and in part through the articulation of sociology and other academic disciplines such as literary criticism.

	Changing the broken rules of Canada's Parliament
		Of course, whenever someone dares suggest change or reform to the antiquated parliamentary traditions of Canada, he is quickly shushed by the political pundits and professional academics, to whom antiquated political traditions are their very lifeblood.
		Canada's contemporary political climate has evolved (or more specifically not evolved) in such a manner as to promote the most rigid thinking possible among those who analyze the system.
		Canada is supposed to be a representative democracy, and the parliament of Canada is a body of elected men and women who are, in theory, supposed to be voting lawmakers.

	Political Economy of Canada's Culture Policy: the 1990's
		The culture goods that express and articulate a national culture have the property of positive externality in that the consumption by one individual generates a benefit that is enjoyed by an other individual.
		Canada could have created a more favorable condition for itself and for its culture goods industries by being clearer and more aggressive in defining and stating the objectives of its culture policy and the principles upon which it is based.
		As it stands, the justification for culture policy is clear neither to Canadians nor to their major trading partner, and future initiatives may continue to have the character of ad hoc protectionism and of a blatant diversion of a stream of revenues from foreign vendors to Canadians.

	Canada, high-risk testing ground for world change , by Edgard Pisani
		Ethnic and cultural demands and triumphant individualism are heralding a proliferation of political entities and confrontations.
		As the philosophical, ethical, political and legal basis of the constitution and common life, such a treaty would have to contain clauses on rights and freedoms, on the principles of the federal regime and on the Constitutional Court that would be its guardian.
		The only solution compatible with Canada’s political culture is for general powers to belong to the provinces and for them to delegate to the federation those they are unable to assume alone.

		Yet, for all the skulduggery that occurs, when the two presidential candidates actually arrive at staking out their positions and debating issues, we see a degree of maturity in the political culture that is lacking in Canada.
		On the other hand, here in Canada, we see the Liberals make as their central election platform the assertion that the Conservatives' right-of-centre political philosophy is not only a threat to all things Canadian, but has no legitimate place in the debate on Canada's future.
		A mature political culture, such as exists in the United States, has moved beyond employing fear as a political tool.

	Religion in Canada: Its Development and Contemporary Situation by Roger O'Toole for the American Religious Experience
		Canada is a vast and physically diverse country but its small population of 29 million clusters in the shadow of that "longest undefended border in the world" which separates it from the approximately 260 million inhabitants of the United States.
		While a depiction of Canada as "two nations warring in the bosom of the same state" is a profound exaggeration, the contemporary political significance of Francophone and Anglophone differences requires no elaboration (Guindon, 1988: 125).
		The nineteenth-century "churching of Canada" differed significantly from the corresponding process witnessed in the United States (Finke and Stark, 1992) and, as a consequence, the anatomy of contemporary Canadian religion bears less resemblance to its American correlative than might initially or superficially be supposed.

	Political culture of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canadian political culture is in some ways part of a greater North American and European political culture, which emphasizes constitutional law, freedom of religion, personal liberty, and regional autonomy; these ideas stemming in various degrees from the British common law and French civil law traditions, North American aboriginal government, and English civic traditions, among others.
		However, there is also a sense of collective responsibility in Canadian political culture, as is demonstrated in general support for universal health care, gun control, foreign aid, and other social democrat social programs.
		Canada and the United States are both nations with their own unique heritages and cultures stemming back for centuries, but the two countries also share many similarities which have generally strengthened relations.

		Faced with increasingly severe economic and political challenges, Canadian labor is beginning to forge tighter cooperative links with its old political ally, the New Democratic Party (NDP), as it prepares to deal with the increasing polarization of Canadian politics.
		In this case, both political impotence and the importance of unspoken principles appear to be the decisive factors.
		Canada's worsening economy promises to provide fertile soil for the increased politicization of working people and the adoption of more militant postures to protect hard-pressed rights and gains.

		In this context, ‘political culture’ is defined as the rudimentary framework of an ‘attitude’ that lends to the ways in which politics is conducted.
		In this sense a ‘political attitude’ supplies the formation of a framework for conducting politics and it is shaped by some philosophical principles that contribute to the arrangements of any given nation-state.
		The rule of law is the key component that shapes the conduct of politics in Canada and it lends to the supremacy of the parliament.

	The Monarchy, the Conservatives, the Future, and Canada
		Similarly, the only reason Canada eagerly sprung into World War II before the United States was because of our intense emotional attachment to the British Empire to which we (although by then sovereign in the realm of military matters) were still very much a part of.
		Much of Canada's early history was dominated by attitudes of staunch and illogical anti-Americanism among political elites, an often mindless and undemocratic allegiance to the British Empire at the expense of Canada's own interests, and an economic legacy of failure due to blatantly anti-market protectionism and massive state intervention.
		The new conservative political culture of Canada holds fundamental principles of individualism that are very difficult to reconcile with the logic of monarchy.

	Political culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A political culture is a distinctive and patterned form of political philosophy that consists of beliefs on how governmental, political, and economic life should be carried out.
		Political cultures create a framework for political change and are unique to nations, states, and other groups.
		Some ideologies, however, are so critical of the status quo that they require a fundamental change in the way government is operated, and therefore embody a different political culture as well.

		Culture is not easily defined, nor is there a consensus among scholars, philosophers and polititicians (nor, probably, among the rest of us) as to what exactly the concept should include.
		The English word "culture" is similar to words in other Romance languages, and indeed the concept has a similar history in many Western countries.
		Nevertheless, a brief conceptual orientation to the layout might be helpful: First, our "baseline definition of culture" suggests a possible definition of culture; remember, how we define culture has both political and social consequences, so read our definition carefully and consider whether or not you agree with us.

		Canadian political culture was shaped by the desire to be different from the United States, and to find a common bond.
		Domestically, Canada was shaped by diverse and often brutal landscapes and climates, by clashes with natives in its earliest years, by Quebec separatism, and, more recently, by waves of immigrants from around the globe.

	Rebellion of 1837-39 in Canada (upper Canada)
		Kevin Harrington, president of ACV/CFA, informed me at NAVA 32 that it is a wide-spread mistake that the Upper Canada Reformist flag is all blue, coming from the fact that the flag kept in a museum is ripped and some people wrongly assumed that the lower half of the flag was all blue.
		In terms of Upper Canadian 19th century political culture, one has to be careful to distinguish between "Reformers" and "Radicals".
		In Upper Canada, at least, it was the Radicals and not the Reformers who were behind the violence in 1837, and they never amounted to more than about a thousand people within a population of about a half-million.

	Les fins du Canada, selon Macdonald, Laurier, Mackenzie King et Trudeau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Stéphane Kelly is a sociologist, and in form his book resembles much historical sociology: a straightforward narrative, largely reliant on standard secondary sources, capped with a series of generalizations on the subject matter.
		Kelly sees a remedy for Canada's present discontents in the injection of a Jeffersonian concern for political liberty into a modern political culture preoccupied with the ends of economic growth and distributive justice.
		Obviously, not all his subjects were equally enthusiastic Hamiltonians (Macdonald and Trudeau rank highest), but they flouted Hamiltonian norms at their peril, most obviously in the case of Laurier when he pursued tariff reciprocity with the United States and later when he opposed conscription.
