This section of our reporting explores the culture across Canada and how this is represented within our public policy and government.
There is no single Canadian culture, but rather a rich tapestry of diverse customs and traditions that have been woven together over the centuries. Canada is home to many different ethnic groups, each with their own unique heritage. As a result, Canadian culture is constantly evolving, adapted to the ever-changing demographics of our country. Across the provinces, there are also significant regional differences in culture. In Quebec, for example, French is the predominant language and many of the customs and traditions have roots in French culture. In contrast, English Canadian culture has been heavily influenced by the British.
These differing cultural traditions help to make Canada a truly dynamic and vibrant country.

While Shelley wrote his famous poem as a parable about the impermanence of worldly renown, the fact that we still know the name Ozymandias and who it represents, can still look upon his mighty works, highlights how wrong the poet was.
This week’s Hub Dialogue Roundtable discusses Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s plan to defund the CBC, as well as new proposals to tighten mortgage lending and what this tells us about the Canadian obsession with real estate.
We can call it a poignant look inside the fishbowl all we like, but it’s clear Prince Harry’s memoir taps into an eternal human need for bitchy gossip. You don’t have to have a strong stance on constitutional monarchy to understand why.
Wine does not make itself, and the story of the people who make the wine is the real story of the wine. It’s easy to forget this and get caught up in geography, climate, grape variety, cellar equipment, or whatever else and forget about the minds that make the decisions about what ends up in the glass.
A generation of teachers has been steeped in the progressive educational theories of John Dewey and his more radical successors, who viewed education as a vehicle for delegitimizing a society’s cultural inheritance and dismantling its customs and institutions.
