Canada identity

1. I Picked this picture because it shows many things that make up a Canadian identity. Canada is a very large county that includes diversity and people from different culture. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40416696

“Mr Trudeau has offered his own take on what Canada is and how it is defined. “This is something,” he said, “we are able to do in this country, because we define a Canadian not by a skin colour or a language or a religion or a background, but by a set of values, aspirations, hopes and dreams that not just Canadians but people and the world share.”

“When asked “What defines a Canadian?”, they often answer with symbols: ice hockey, Tim Hortons coffee, wilderness, a canoe and portage, an array of singers – but the list usually comes with an ironic smile.”

I choose this article because it talks about symbols that identify Canadians. Also, Canada is not identified by skin color, language, religion, or a persons background, but values that we all share but also different values that could be based on history or lifestyle, etc. This article also talks about the British connections and Canadas past.

2. I feel like these resources are an accurate portrayal of being Canadian because the picture has symbols that represent things in Canada and the article talks about what makes a person Canadian.

3. If this article was published 40 years ago I think it would be looked at the same way because Canada is still characterized by the same things.
