Some say that Canadians suffer from a kind of cultural 'identity crisis'. In some ways I have to agree with this. The fact is, we Canadians don't really think about culture very much. Meaning our culture as distinct from other (read: American) cultures. We don't tend to be outwardly patriotic UNTIL someone accuses us of being just like Americans. Then we stammer and stutter and get all defensive and say things like "WE ARE NOT!...WE ARE DIFFERENT!" But alas, when asked to explain just HOW we are different from our neighbors to the south (God luv ya's) we come up few brewskies short of a 6-pack.
This page is an attempt to help my fellow Canucks (and anyone else out there who gives a rat's ass) identify or give some tangibility to our culture. So we can stand up and say "We are different because......"
So far I am failing miserably, but hopefully as I continue to develop this page I'll come up with some concrete answers. Help me out would ya? Tell me what you think makes Canadians unique.
Maybe I'll post your response on this page, or maybe I'll say to myself "Cripes! That's lame!" Shhhhhh...Don't be afraid. Mail me
