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.

Civil liberties are more vulnerable now that the Emergencies Act has been invoked

Trudeau’s declaration of emergency gives the federal government new powers that make it easier for the government to act to end the Ottawa protests. If it didn’t, then why declare it?

Howard Anglin: Our generation needs its own Great Relearning

Discarding the collected wisdom of our past has led us to a present that is cheaper and more convenient, yes, but in so many ways so much worse.

I'm not sure I trust my 'rational' view of the trucker protest anymore

Categorizing our fellow citizens as either “friend” or “enemy” is an easy mode of thinking to fall into, but it is not the most helpful in these turbulent times.

Business needs to focus on business

Despite the advocacy of stakeholder capitalism’s proponents, there’s little evidence to show that this new brand of top-down socialism will result in better economic and social outcomes.

Joel Coen’s film adaptation of Macbeth squanders the riches it has on hand, betraying a great text and wasting great actors.

We don't have to go full woke to fight racism in Canada

We need to do what we can to address racism in meaningful ways, but that does not mean we need to accept the woke idea that Canada is a country defined by race, comprised of racists.
