Canadian Identity and Cultures Identities

: Being Canadian can mean different things to different people, according to Huffington Post Canada. Therefore, it is probably more fitting to talk about Canadian cultures and identities in the plural. In part this is because there are several ways to express Canadian identity. As such, it perfectly normal for there to be continued conversation about "who we are" as a people . Some observers insist upon the importance of defining "us" in some singular way so that newcomers know precisely into what they're being asked to integrate. Although the debate about who we are dates backs a few centuries, we need to go back to 1971 to comprehend the contemporary basis for this discussion. Of course the process of adapting to a country so diverse as Canada makes this idea impractical. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
