What is Canadian culture?

Culture is something we can only change the future of but not the past. Canada has a wide variety of cultural or a better word to use would be multicultural differences and people. If you look at the who the real and first canadians are, talking about first nation groups and people. Today there is Canadians with all the different heritage’s and backgrounds like asian and european, african etc. all of those people though have one thing in common when they decided (or their parents) to move to canada and live here, that is to become a canadian.

Also another thing is a lot of Canadians now days insists on bringing their heritage into the story, because in my experience talking to people about my background i often hear something like this; “i'm actually Ukrainian, mexican, French, polish etc.” it has always interested in why don't those people just make it so much easier on themselves and just say “i'm Canadian”. I personally would prefer that over being an immigrant but nothing i can do about that. Canadian culture is what we as the people that live in
