Culture

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.

Cannabis legalization has worked out well in this country for several reasons—not least of which is the fact that Canadians were ready for it.

Shal Marriott: The Stanley Cup shows the beauty of 60 minutes free of politics

This past year and a half has been tough, and we deserve 60 minutes spread over three periods where we just hope for a win. Even if our team is not there this year, and even if we don’t care for hockey and are only watching to see what happens.

Wily consumers will look to domestic sparkling wines as summer heats up

Many consumers will pay more for the sparkling wines that come from Champagne. But many wily ones will instead look to domestic bubbles made in the traditional method, that cost less and come from one of the cool climate regions within our borders.

From Dominion Day to Canada Day, there’s a long history of ambivalence

You may imagine that Canada Day came about due to a rich parliamentary debate about how best to celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s birth. In fact, it came about 40 years ago thanks to 13 MPs pulling a fast one on their colleagues.

Karen Restoule: Instead of cancelling Canada Day, we need to get to work

Cancelling Canada Day seems to be, in my view, the easy way out. And the people I know don’t take the easy way out. They face challenges with courage.
