It depends on what part of Canada you are in, as like the States, we vary from region to region. That said, you are quite correct. The only national Identity we have is "being polite/kind." For the most part. Despite over-performing in every war we've fought in, having the 4th largest Navy at the end of WW2, among other things. So as America has the "Rude" stereotype, we're juxtaposed to be against you. Mind you, some of the kindest people I have ever met were from Texas, and some of the meanest I've ever met were in Ontario or Quebec. As Canadian's we aren't really allowed any kind of Nationalism, except about our silly little identity as being "Polite". So people cling to that. Basically we're so culturally suppressed that many cling to the only thing we are allowed like addicted goblins. Like that kid in school, who's only good at one thing, and is super one-dimensional because of it, but also gets super mad when anyone else is also good at that thing.

When I was a teenager, I had lived in the states for a few years and my friend came down to visit. Now, when I had lived in Canada I had either never heard any anti-american talk or was too young to know what the hell they were talking about. When my friend came down she suddenly just started ragging on America hard, and I didn't understand it at all. I was just like "well, I live here, and it doesn't seem too bad." At the same time she always talked about how inexpensive things were here and how happy that made her... I've never been a very nationalistic person, probably by virtue of the fact that was born in Canada, with duel citizenship, to an American dad, and a Canadian mom, who's parents immigrated from Germany and Austria. It's always been strange to me to see people who extol only the virtues of their country while criticizing the faults of other countries.

I hope you now realize that politics is complicated. Free trade wrecked our economy southwards the way it affected your economy southward. So when you talk to people in the midwest, you certainly hear complaints about Mexico, where their jobs disappeared to. But mexicans are now pissed off because SO many americans are buying property there. Same thing here. Nationalism is an odd construction that never really existed until a short time ago historically. Nationalism is essentially the propaganda from the dominant 'tribe' that is trying to keep subject tribes in line. Now its been long enough that those are 'classes', and in the future it may even turn into 'castes'. But when Trump slapped tariffs on products one day as a whim that put thousands of canadians out of work, you can't expect people not to notice. At the same time we have a crooked poultry and dairy supply side management system which means here in the east we pay a fortune for chicken and milk, even more savings than gas come from going to the US. People regularly spend the weedend before thanksgiving making a road trip. Thats something different, and obviouslys something different than when america invaded Iraq, and the popular media started bashing Canada all over the news becouse we didn't join in the illegal war. Canadians travelling to the US reported getting harassed BY americans, not just government, again, for not joining a patently illegal war that basically destabilized most of the middle east and lots of europe with the refugees it created. Any different one of those things can pop into a persons head. In general terms until Trump most people didn't think THAT much about the states, but when a world power with a history of invading people kind of goes off the rails, people tend to notice. When that trucker protest happened in Canada there WAS a real fear that more like minded people from the US may come up and join them, and our police and military isn't the american one, even a SMALL attempt at destabilization would probably have serious consequences.

The last part is kind of ironic considering that the USA has had more serial killers in its history (Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, etc.) than any other country combined, AND is currently number one in mass/school shootings.

Customs and Immigration in both countries are reasonable, but they get excited if you say or do things that make them doubt you are just visiting.

I'm from the U.S. and I (apparently) still have a noticeably Canadian component to my accent because I lived in Ithaca, New York for six years when I was a kid and had a Canadian best friend with Canadian parents. My arch nemesis in elementary school happened to be the son of the Cornell hockey coach, who had just as much power in New York as a football coach would have in the southeastern U.S. You guys influence us, too! It's a shame that the U.S. doesn't have a similarly close relationship with Mexico--or rather, that we're still trying to deny our closeness with Mexico the way that Canada tried to deny their closeness with us. Maybe in a couple more decades, having a good relationship with Mexico won't be so controversial.

With talks of Quebec becoming a nation within Canada, does that mean the French language will not longer be required in the rest of Canada? The whole point was the preservation of French culture and language, but with an ethno-state, that is already achieved. Further, will the French language be required for high government positions? Or is this declaration more symbolic? And nothing will really change besides semantic.

I enjoyed this video a lot! It both made me wonder if it was possible to evaluate a nation based on a summary of its founders’ goals (assuming such could be done for every nation today) like the three given here and wonder what new goals nations could or have establish/established for themselves today regardless of whether they have failed, succeeded, etc the original goals. Maybe even come up with a grading scale for nations about the original/founders’ goals and on the progress of new goals (if any). Kinda like a S, A, B, C, D, E, F grading scale or even add in ++, +, -, - -, if the scale needed to be more thorough. Or something. This was very interesting to go through each of the three and learn more deeply about each. I also enjoyed the way you ended the video with a look to the future. Although I feel like there’s a possible meme that could develop with you saying “in the year 1867” (or “in the year [insert year]”) given how often you had to say it in this video. Overall an excellent video!

Canada was basically always doomed to fall into a protracted state of failure since it's inception. From the outset, the primary goal Canada set out for itself, "don't be American", was poorly define and poorly understand. Aside from not being a part of the crown, what being American is understood to be by Canadians overtime is nebulous, to say the least. With no real goal, Canada has never had any real direction, which is primarily why it bumbled into its second major failure - it's political structure. Canada's political framework was never designed to encompass territory which spanned from sea to sea. It was primarily designed to meet the needs and balance power between upper and lower Canada - Ontario and Quebec, effectively. Cramming in the western and eastern territories was the political equivalent of cramming a square peg into a round hole. These two failings contribute massively to what is probably Canada's spiciest issue - it's failed, and failing, multicultural project. With no clear goal and a broken political framework, groups that would ideally be unified wind up jockeying against each other for power. That's how you end up with a country that, on paper, preaches equality among groups, but in practices makes certain groups "more equal" than others. Examples of this manifesting would be status of Quebec and the natives, or more recently, the insane adoption of "progressive" ideas - like intersectionality - by Canadian institutions.

Great essay. Reminds me of a CBC ideas talk from about 8 years ago that claimed that the failure to come to grips with the genocide of the First Nations is (already then) an existential issue for Canada. I'd love to see you produce more of these thoughtful and thorough essays on the topic, particularly with native guest speakers.

If it's a genocide then how come there are more natives in Canada today then there were when the first Europeans arrived? And their numbers are on the ascendant. If Canada engaged in a genocide of its natives then country obviously did a very bad job of it. In fact out of all the demographic groups in Canada only the white demographic is declining and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future until its number declines to a point where it is less than what the natives are today. That is assuming Canada still exists as a country at that point. And when we reach that point will we call that a genocide or no?

In Quebec, they understand that it's the typical Anglo way to hide their own vices by projecting them onto an undesirable "other": English Canadian are generally more racist but try to hide it by only focussing on the racism happening in Quebec; Canadians disregards their own government corruption issues by obsessing over the corruption happening in Quebec. Quebec bashing is the Canadians' favorite treat. It makes them feel good, as if there would be no Quebec, Canada would be the perfect place. It's Anglo chauvinism of the 21st century.

Keeping the Americans out did work out in Quebec, a lot of because of the language barrier. If you look at the top 10 tv shows in Quebec, all are produced in Quebec and you have to reach ~15th place before an American show appears. It's different for movies (since we lack the budget for cgi and special effects in action movies) and music (where language is mucj less of a barrier), but the movie and music industry of Quebec are very much quite important in the province.

These words can be easily rallied around because we all have our own vision of what they mean. Why would any successful model not be flexible and adaptable? I am hopeful Canadians don’t chase the USA down the drain they are spiralling towards.
