I personally view the Canadian identity as a topic which may never truly be set in place as the world grows and new influences arrive, yet at the very same i see it as revolving around the set traits that the first peoples and nations(Aboriginals, French, British, etc.) brought and held, whether it be their spiritual, political, lingual, and cultural views. Major parts of the Canadian identity also arise from non-human factors, such as geography, the land in Canada influences the jobs of the people as well as where everyone is displaced. Canada is considered the second largest country in the world, this causes the Canadian identity to differ slightly depending on where one lives. The identity of a Candian can be summed up from the Charter of Rights and freedoms and each person is entitled to in Canada. In a way, the Charter outlines the key values and beliefs that the people hold.

Those who don’t live or have ever been may think that Canada is a country that is not diverse maybe even monocultural, that Canada is flat full of only farmland and rural towns, that we live lives fueled by hockey and that is all that Canada is. In reality every Canadian knows it is much more it is diverse, scenic and urban. In the essay “My Canada” by Anita Rau Badami she said this about Canada “the country had been doing a slow dance for me over the nine years that I had lived here, showing me tantalizing little bits of itself every now and then.” The quote by Badami says that Canada has little charms spread throughout the country, such as the vastness and natural beauty of Lake Louise and all National Parks.

As a country Canada’s strengths included, gaining autonomy through persevering and showing just how mature and ready Canadians were to be in charge of their own army; and be recognized as a separate country from Britain.

Their proof was presented in how they planned and executed their battles, and fought alongside Britain to successfully defeat

These rights include linguistic and cultural rights for the French Canadian part of the Canadian populations in places of Quebec and New Brunswick, some other rights that are included as well are rights for aboriginal groups. The concept of rights in this group of rights doesn’t really have any recognition to US law where it got them from. Unlike The U.S constitution, the Canadian constitution gives most of the power to its Queen, which gives her more power of everything, while the U.S divides the power as to not give anyone too much authority over some things.
