I sat back in my reading chair and was about to lose myself in a good book when thought flashed through my mind that went like this. What defines Canada in culture Arts, literature,,,or any thing. Nothing I consider significant came to mind except chaos and multiculturalism. So I asked my self why and actually came up with an answer from that deep consciousness I call the OLD MAN. First off and so obvious that it gets over looked. Canada is still in infant stage and has not had time to develop its own culture. Even first nations had not developed a national culture because nationalism did not exist among the indigenous people.
But now is now and I can find nothing that identifies Canadian culture unless we consider the Borrower Factor, which is very evident but always with a washed out version. We also sell out anything that does define us...or defer to the states...like the incident of the Canadian Arrow.
I believe every country/nation goes through these growing pains and maybe after fifteen hundred or so years we will find some aspect of us that defines our culture besides being the land of snow ice and damn near perpetual cold miserable weather and winter. The great frozen north.
I am glad to have been born here but I have no idea what to be proud.
