Extractions: by Damien Ponech and John Bayko In the same month my little e-mailman, dodging the e-dogs, brought not one but two Canadian culture tests . With the authors' consent I've combined them. Both are English Canadian; there is a separate . Items identical to the American test are in grey Damien was born and lived most of his life in Toronto, Ontario; for the last three years he's been studying linguistics and second language teaching in Ottawa. Born in Regina, John lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he works as a programmer. He's also lived in Ottawa and Winnepeg, and married an American ("from just outside Chicago, where it's quiet".) Mark If you're Canadian... ...you are of course not American . You're fascinated by minute differences between the U.S. and Canada, and a bit annoyed at Europeans who can't tell you apart. You are vaguely familiar with the charters of rights and freedoms in the constitution but really have no idea of what it's about. It seems perfectly normal for your country's Queen to live on another continent. You don't really think about it since it's not like it makes any difference; and if you're Quebecois, she's not really your Queen anyway. You might not even know the words to the National Anthem (in either language). You like that beer commercial though.
CRCCF - Overview
The Centre for Research on French canadian culture (Centre de recherche en civilisationcanadiennefrançaise or CRCCF) of the University of Ottawa was founded
http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/crccf/presentation/overview.html

Extractions: Plan du site One of the Centre's main objectives is the promotion of research on all aspects of French Canadian culture. From its initial focus on literature, the Centre's orientation and activities have gradually broadened to include all the humanities and social sciences: history, sociology, economics, translation, political science, women's studies, communication, music, education, linguistics, visual arts, etc. A number of specialized, quality publications on French Canada are produced by the Centre. Among these works, published by various editors, there are essays, critical editions, biographies, textbooks, symposia proceedings and finding aids. The Centre's achievements have given it an international reputation. Many researchers from throughout the world have approached the Centre to obtain information and to sollicit its collaboration. The Centre maintains regular contacts with other research groups and cultural associations that share the same goals. Archives are truly the collective memory of a society. The Centre for Research on French Canadian Culture holds more than 1.6 linear kilometres of documents, of which an important part is related to Franco-Ontarians. Most of the major Franco-Ontarian associations entrust their archives to the Centre, as well as a growing number of individuals who are aware of the value of personal documents for our collective heritage.

Extractions: In Quebec, writers such as Michel Tremblay, André Ducharme, Yves Beauchemin, and Marie Laberge enjoyed national and international fame. Robert Lepage was recognized around the world for his work as a theatre director and performer. Some of the films produced during this period, most notably Denis Arcand's Jésus de Montreal (1989) earned accolades from the international film community. And Céline Dion reigned supreme as the planet's most popular chanteuse. Bob's Birthday , a National Film Board of Canada co-production. Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje, among many others, produced literary works that won international awards. Entertainers like Neil Young and Bryan Adams enjoyed considerable success in the American market because of their "American" sound, while entertainers like Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen and Rita MacNeil had the cash registers ringing because they sounded so, well, Canadian!

http://palc.sd40.bc.ca/palc/StudentWriting/cancult.htm

Extractions: These short pieces are from the Advanced Composition class held on Thursday, Mar. 9, 2000. Our topic was about how Canadians have different cultural behaviours from other cultures. The results follow. Back home people are very friendly. For example, speaking loudly is something normal in my culture. But, here, speaking loudly is something rude or impolite. If a person speaks too loud in Canada, people make a face, or say shush, or maybe think that you are fighting. In Canada, when I want to walk across the road, most drivers will stop and let me go first, even when I am just standing by the roadside and wondering whether I need to go or not. They will wait there stubbornly, so I have to go across in a hurry. But in China, drivers seldom wait for people who want to walk across the street. The drivers are afraid that if they do so, the driver will never go. So, in China, walkers and drivers always seize up when they are trying to decide who should go. Saying hi in Canada seems to be very informal to me. In Iran, a warm hi depends on a stronger relationship, but it seems that in Canada, it is diverse or different. For example, when a Canadian goes shopping, he says hi to the salesman, but when he meets his close friend, he may say Whats up?

However, while the two regions share some aspects of a common cultural heritage, there is certainly a separately identifiable " Canadian culture." This is marked by such elements as a greater integration of Native American cultures than elsewhere in the Americas; the retention of traditions descended from those of French settlers; and a notable infusion of Celtic settlers in later phases of the region's history.

http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/3826/canadianculture.html

Extractions: 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.

http://www.opinion-pages.org/thinkahead/constitution.htm

Extractions: Canadian culture might already be dead By Montgomery Kersell Magazine publishers are sounding alarm bells about the death of Canadian culture as American magazines put them out of business with "split-run" publications. They're too late. Bill C-55 is but one nail in Canada's culture coffin. Canadian print media already use American word spellings (e.g. neighbor, instead of neighbour) and plenty of U.S.-generated content. One trade magazine publisher even disguises it to look home-grown. Citizens know little of their own country. A 1998 survey showed a large percentage of the population failed a short quiz. The 1991 Heritage Quiz of 1,628 Canadians, conducted by Martin Goldfarb and Associates for the Association for Canadian Studies found only 57 per cent knew Canada's first prime minister and only 31 per cent could name the governor-general. Canadians' perceptions of their country is increasingly Americanized. During elections, Canadians believe they elect a premier or prime minister , just as Americans elect a president. Americans, however, cast one vote to send someone to the White House and separate votes to send people to the Senate and/or the House of Representatives Each Canadian casts only one vote to send someone to the federal or provincial legislature to represent the riding.
