Here are a few things that i think makes Canada Canadian,
The Komagata Maru
For me the Komagata Maru had a huge influence over Canada and my life because my great grandfather came over from India to establish ties and create a new life for people coming from India. When the Komagata Maru arrived on Canadian water space they were forbidden to land onto Canadian ground because Canada didn’t want any emigrants.

Terry Fox
Terry fox had a huge influence over Canada because he grew up right in Port Coquitlam close to home. He was diagnosed with cancer when he was very young. His coaches always told him that he wasn’t good enough to succeed at any sport. So terry started to practice running. He found out that the cancer had moved to his legs and that he would need to amputate his leg. After he had his leg amputated he started making donations because he saw all the kids that were suffering from cancer so he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer.
