Canada's identity crisis

Who are Canadians? Canadians have been trying to save their culture for years now. The boom of the new Americanized world is coming fast and furious. Many world countries feel the effects of the western civilized world at their door step. From Music, Clothing, Style and Attitude. Many are swept up in the new modern world of technology, all over the world. Countries such as Canada are losing their roots, who we are and once were.

Canada's Identity CrisisSo is that saying "In with the new, out with the old." Coming into effect these days? Let us not get lost in the furry of technology and the modern civilization, and realize and remember who Canadians are and what our culture is.

Canada is affected by so many other different cultures from around world that we are now a multicultural society and have lost our own distinct identity.

What does Canada represent? Our love for Hockey? The sweet maple syrup we produce by the gallons every year? Our beer that is made in the Rocky Glaciers? Some of the best ski resorts in the world? Our pure water source? The Sockeye Salmon, that now suffer from being endangered. Or is it natural beauty of this land, the animals, trees and mountains? I only hope that we can make Canada a more distinct country in itself, to be proud of and cherish.
