You are correct. However the politeness is a big problem in Canada. It leads to dishonesty. And to a lack of improving things.

Canada too cold, Australia too hot, New Zealand just right. seriously though Canadians and New Zealanders have got the mix just right, excellent people with a sense of humour, sense of right and wrong and basically a healthy respect for themselves.

I remember having a talk about "what is the Canadian identity" back in public school, 5th grade I think. I'll be turning 70 this year. Maybe the Canadian identity is "the active pursuit of self-awareness"? Or maybe we're just insecure.

Canada is so vast and varied, both geographically and culturally, that it would be a disservice to boil us down to a single identity. From Indigenous peoples to long-time residents to more recent immigrants, from coast to mountain to Arctic to prairie to the other coast, I feel like the "Canadian identity" is best understood as not any one thing and I think that's beautiful. Eh.

@@Alex_Mitchell Not really, even back then there was so much variation and diversity that trying to enforce a single set of traits was pointless. I mean even at the founding of the country how much commonality was there between a Scottish Acadian, a Catholic Quebecois, a Protestant Torontonian, and a Native. It is not a matter of numbers it is the amount of diversity then and now, where no one group can really claim cultural dominance except at a local level.

@@Alex_Mitchell The 1963 Bi & Bi Royal Commission’s unexpected result was to reveal that many ethnic communities in Canada felt a strong attachment to their cultures and languages. We stillhadn’t come to grips with our historic discrimination against Black-, Japanese- , Chinese-Canadians as well as other minorities. Our immigration policies were brazenly racist until the Rt.. Hon. Ellen Fairclough (PC) revised them in 1962. And we all know now that the native peoples had a long time to wait until they sat at the table as equals: Inuit did not have voting rights 1934-50; until 1960 First Nations peoples were not able to vote unless they gave up their treaty rights. Given those facts, I think it was maybe easier then to talk about “two founding nations”, but such language disguised the rich mosaic as it even then was.

In reality Canada as a country historically was created as a post-national experiment. to see if a state could be created without national identity, leaving them vulnerable to various state controls because they wouldn't have a cultural immune system to resist tyrannical or personally oppressive rule. the ideal slave state. You cna read about this in the writings of Gerald Therrien. sadly it worked pretty well. i was traveling through spain on foot last year and was often delighted when people would assume i was american because it meant i walked with a sense of grounded identity and a cultural package that didnt leave me without a spinal column. Canada isnt a mosaic, its a wonderbread factory.

This is the most blatant piece of Canadian nationalism I've seen in quite some time.

Nice of you to judge a nation based on media and an ideology. And yes, I'm Canadian. I'd feel safer knowing all the legal gun owners surround me. Just like here in Canada where legal gun owners are nearly FOUR TIMES *LESS* LIKELY to ever kill someone compared to non-gun owners. That's a StatsCan fact, look it up.

@@Zombie-lx3sh Yes is does. US is the United States of America, not America: "America refers to the continents of North America and South America, which are often collectively referred to as the Americas. This term is used to distinguish the continents from the United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), which is a country located in North America. Historically, the term America was used to refer to the entire continent, including both North and South America, until the mid-20th century. However, with the rise of the United States as a global power, the term America began to be associated more closely with the United States, and the term the Americas became more commonly used to refer to the two continents."
