class help: So we had a discussion in my social history class about Canadian Identity, does anybody have an opinion about that? - Help.com

I’m Canadian too :)
We had to talk about this when I was in school too.
I think people usually consider Canadians to be pretty laid back, nice, passive people. For the most part I agree with that. I also think part of our own identity is not wanting to be identified as an American. I don’t personally have anything against the States or the American people as a whole, but given the present situations in the Middle East and some of the negative feelings that certain nations have against the U.S, I have to say that I’m especially glad to be Canadian right now.
I also think that we’re proud to be Canadians but we tend not to be so…”flag waving”(?) about it. We’re very patriotic, but not in your face about it either.

Hope I didn’t offend anyone with my thoughts.

I’m sorry. We have an identity?

Ok to be more helpful… more liberal in our views. Less patriotic, less God-believing, we’re a “mosaic” rather than a “melting pot” what ever that means. Honestly I think were less unified. As a population we are rather small spread out over a very large area. I don’t think we’re very unified or very similar to each other.

For some reason, I thought of that molson Canadian commercial that used to be on TV:
