Embracing our tradition is how we preserve Québec
There is no shame in following in the footsteps of all those who loudly affirmed that the Québécois had the right and the duty to be masters in their own house and live on.
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.

Intentionally or not, the play succeeds in showing why Clark failed as prime minister. This Clark simply doesn’t understand the qualities that make a good leader.
If we think that the culture of Hockey Canada contributed to this horrible situation—and most of us do—we should probably apply the same lens to our culture’s comfort with things that are shaping what young men think is appropriate for sex.
Most Canadians believe immigration is important for Canada, the present difficulties notwithstanding. But polling also shows that most also believe that we must make Canadians of those who come here. It is not enough to leave them alone in the hope that they will quietly assimilate.
Canadian cities could learn from Edinburgh that, when it comes to monuments, more is better, and even more is even better. In the end, a country is what and who it celebrates.
If nobody knows that our films and shows are Canadian, it is impossible to build a category brand around them, no matter how good they are.
